Therapeutic Massage Clinic

Reflexology

All client testimonials and case studies have been gathered with full consent and cooperation from each client. A full consultation was carried out for each one although details have not necessarily been included here. Many thanks to all my clients who have contributed, I am grateful for your time and feedback.

Mr. W. Case History

For the purposes of the case study I will only highlight the things we felt showed in the feet and how relevant (or not) they were. The showing may have been tenderness, unusual or painful sensation felt by the client or a change in feel felt by the therapist.

Area Right Foot	Relating to	Relevance to client
Top of 2nd metatarsal	Teeth	Dental implants in last week
Base of 2nd and 3rd metatarsals	Sinus	?
Base big toe	Thyroid	Awaiting blood tests regarding thyroid
Instep	Kidney	Been out this morning so not drank as much water as usual

 

Area Left Foot	Relating to	Relevance to client
Base of 2nd and 3rd metatarsals	Eyes	Wears glasses and recently had cataract operation
Base of 4th and 5th metatarsal	Ear	Wears hearing aids
Base big toe	Thyroid	Awaiting blood tests
Base of little toe	Shoulder	Broke collar bone skiing and still get pain in the shoulder area
Instep	Kidney	Less water than usual
Instep	Large intestine	Less water than usual

   

Most of the things that showed as positive reflexes had an explanation for Mr. W. The more years I have practised reflexology the more I find this to be the case that things are found that make sense on a health basis. This makes reflexology not only a relaxing and calming treatment but a good barometer of health and well being.

Reflexology was first documented by Eunice Ingham and although other charts exist I still refer to the original for marking positions.

Client feedback

"Found the treatment relaxing and informative. Very interested in how it is a reflection of health and can give pointers to improving well being. Pleasantly surprised at some of the indicators reflecting current health."
