A
Burbank, California housewife we will call Merl, had a neck so stiff she had to
turn her whole body to look either side.After three Reflexology Sessions and
some Self-Help Reflexology, Merl regained full range-of-motion of her neck for
the first time in twelve years.
This
case of relief of pain and stiffness from Reflexology is dramatic only
regarding the length of time Merl suffered.
It is quite common for people to report relief of neck pain within a few
sessions of Reflexology.
The Flocco
Method – Integrating Foot Hand Ear Reflexology is based on
the principle that in each of these
three places - ears, hands and feet - you have a complete pressure map in a
shape of the human body. When you put pressure with your fingers and thumbs on
these Reflexology Maps, it is something like going to a wall and turning the
light switch. Although you are touching
the light switch on the wall, the effect is seen on the light in the ceiling.
So too, by properly refluxing the appropriate parts of the ears, hands and feet
for the neck, relief of pain, stress, and range-of-motion issues, is often
reported.
Over
thirty years of working with feet, hands, and ears has shown that each is
better for pain in different parts of the body.
Where
to reflex first is called Priority
Reflexing. For neck pain, go to the neck reflexes in the ears
first, found above the ear lobes at the base of the hard cartilage, called the
inner ridge. Hold between the pads of your fingers and thumbs with firm
nurturing pressure.
Where
to reflex first, second, and third is called Progression Reflexing. After reflexing the neck reflexes
on the ears, progress to neck reflexes in the feet, located in the two-thirds
of the toes closest to the feet, especially around the big toes.
Third
progress to the neck reflexes in the hands, found in the two thirds of
thefingers closest to the hands, especially around the thumbs.
Start
with lighter pressure between the softer surface tissues and harder deeper
tissues, until the deeper tissue softens and invites you to work deeper.
Remember
the importance of drinking extra water to flush out any toxins released while
reflexing. For serious health conditions also remember the value of your
primary health care provider.
And
as you have seen with the Flocco Method –
Integrating Foot Hand Ear Reflexologyrelief can literally be at your
fingertips, and, you can use it anytime and anywhere.
Until
we chat again in our next article, like Merl,you too can learn how to give
relief of neck pain through Reflexology.
