As a Reflexology
therapist, the more you know about your body and why things happen and how
it can be helped naturally the better off you and your clients are... Have you or your clients ever experienced what would be described as a burning, stabbing, or aching pain on the sole or heel of the foot? Does it hurt especially when first getting up in the morning or after sitting for a long period of time? Does it seem like everything has been tried and it just doesn’t seem to get better? Have you done Reflexology on the feet and found that while some get better quickly others don’t? Some will have been told by their doctor that they have Plantar Fasciitis or some kind of tendonitis (many patients don't have a clue what is wrong). That is just the start of the story… Some form of Plantar Fasciitis (PF) and Heel Pain affects nearly 2 million Americans each year and can be responsible for mild discomfort or even debilitating pain. Some have suffered from this for years! In most cases, Plantar Fasciitis (PF) does not require surgery or invasive procedures to stop pain and reverse damage. Conservative treatments are usually all that is required. However, every person's body responds to PF treatment differently and recovery times may vary, sometimes as short as 2 weeks up to 5 months-in some cases they are still suffering! Now, why are we telling you all this? Because one of our instructors, Bobbi Warren from San Diego, CA, developed the worst Plantar Fasciitis you could possibly imagine. In the beginning she followed the simple process we have taught our advanced level Reflexology students over the years and while it helped relieve a couple of areas of pain on the sole of her foot, it didn't 'fix' all of it. But with research and working with her doctor and a podiatrist, she figured out that it would take a multi pronged approach (which did include Reflexology) and 'heeled' herself as well as many of her clients that had been stubborn cases. |
