Pathologies Of The Feet Hands Outer Ears

 While in Western Pathology Classes in Acupuncture Collage, I constantly found myself exclaiming, ‘Reflexologists need to know this!‘  “Who knew that acupuncture school could send me back to Reflexology with more dedication than ever? I understand that Reflexologists and other natural health practitioners do not diagnose, but knowledge is power.”  – Lisa M. Chan, LAc, PhD. It seems, more than ever, Reflexologists are working closely with their Western and Eastern medicine counterparts.  With so many of the symptoms of disease appearing on the feet and hands, Bill Flocco has agreed to hold this pathology class. (Pathology = the study of disease) Anyone dealing with feet, hands and outer ears would benefit from knowing or reviewing some of the possible reasons that people have non-healing wounds, edema, swelling, shooting pains, structural irregularities, weakness, neuropathy, plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel and repetitive disorders; or how diabetes, genetic disorders, DVT, MRSA, TB, AIDS, allergic reactions, cellulitis, phlebitis, lymphedema, syphilis, possible skin cancer, athletes foot, and how these may show up in, or impact feet, hands or outer ears. And, although Reflexologists and natural health practitioners do not diagnose, it can be valuable to learn when, and some ways of how, to refer clients to podiatrists, chiropractors, ERs, MDs and dermatologists.

Additionally, learn hands-on techniques and exercises to help with structural issues of the feet and hands, as well as when to glove up and mask up with your clients, and how to clear your session/treatment rooms and yourselves after working with sick or possibly contagious people.

Reflexology For Emphysema

A 55-year-old lady suffering from emphysema experiences dramatic relief from her symptoms and greater ease of breathing.

Emphysema is surprisingly prevalent among people who smoke pipes, cigars or cigarettes, those who live or work in highly polluted areas, such as around spores, herbicides and pesticides, factories with high air contaminants, or people who live in especially polluted urban centers.

Emphysema results from the breaking down of the little air pockets in the lungs, called alveoli, causing larger spaces. Lungs lose the capacity to take natural fluids or mucus up to the throat and out.  As this condition worsens, people with emphysema develop a cough, because of the fluid build up  in the lungs, the result of the lungs inability to expel the fluids naturally.

Reflexology is the natural health science of applying finger and thumb pressure, using specific techniques, to points found in the feet, hands and outer ears that correspond to reflex maps resembling a shape of the human body. By placing specific finger and thumb pressure on the lung reflexes of the feet, hands and ears, in a surprising number of cases people report relief of their lung related tensions and discomforts.

For Reflexology for emphysema, first go to your feet, lung reflexes are located, primarily, in the grooves on the top of your feet.  Place the tip of your thumb or index finger in each groove, and apply gentle pressure.

For Reflexology for emphysema, second go to your hands, lung reflexes are located, primarily, in the grooves on the back of your hands.  As in the feet, place the tip of your thumb or index finger in each groove, and apply gentle pressure.

For Reflexology for emphysema, third go to your ears, lung reflexes are located in the lower valley, the recessed area near your ear canal, merely by placing the tip of your index fingers against the part of the ear in the lower valley.  In effect, you will be gently applying pressure directly against the head bone.

It is recommend that you reflex each of these areas for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a day.

When you work on your lung reflexes, if you find tenderness in your feet, hands or ears, look at this tenderness as a gift and spend more time working on tender areas.  Frequently, the result is that people report feeling better in the related part of the body.

It is often recommended to drink an extra glass or two of water to help flush toxins out of the body. If conditions persist, it might be wise to see your primary health care provider.

Like the 55-year-old lady, you or those you work on can experience relief with Reflexology for emphysema.

Reflexology For Vermont Flood Victims

On August 29th Hurricane Irene caused the worst flooding in over a century to small towns in upstate New York, and Southern and Central Vermont. The normal peaceful meandering rivers became ravaging flood waters within hours. Houses along these rivers quickly flooded and people were evacuated. The waters quickly receded within hours of the flood but left lingering damage.

I had the opportunity to provide reflexology services to 15 flood victims in Moretown, Vermont two weeks after the flood. Moretown is a small town along the Mad River, near Stowe Vermont. Many of the victims had immense flood damage to their homes or their properties and they also had harrowing stories of escaping from the flood waters.

Being a psychiatric nurse, I naturally honed into the mind-body connection, supporting their emotional being via the physical touch of reflexology.

I listened to their stories while working on the adrenal, pituitary, heart, kidney, liver and spinal reflexes of their feet. Since the majority of the clients had shallow breathing as the result of the trauma (several of the clients had to climb out of their kitchen windows in order to avoid drowning)…I worked on their lung and chest reflexes.

The clients relaxed, were calmer and some even began to express emotion. Mental Health Services had provided education and counseling to the town the previous week and all my clients were well-versed in the different stages of grieving.

Words can not fully express the experience of providing reflexology services to clients after a disaster. It was one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever had. I have never been so grateful for my reflexology training.See more at: www.americanacademyofreflexology.com

Many Needs By Injured and Disaster First Responders By Bill Flocco

People who have suffered through a natural disaster might have physical
pain as well as other types of health issues and needs, such as:

1. Musculoskeletal Pain – Pain Reduction, Management, and Elimination,
   such as injuries, strains, sprains, fractures, etc., in the head, teeth, jaw, in neck, shoulders; upper, mid, lower back, hips, sciatica; arms, legs, ribs, muscles, ligaments, tendons, bones, joints
2. Pain Inside The Body – Headaches, sinuses, teeth, throat, lungs, heart, stomach, heartburn, gallbladder, kidneys, colon/large intestines, uterus, prostate, urinary bladder and more
3. Anxiety – exhaustion, fear, tension, stress, depression
4. Sleep – getting to sleep, staying asleep
5. Feel, function, and cope better
6. Safe Caring Nurturing Reassuring Touch

Reflexing For Pain Relief

Since, in 1982, coining the term “Ear Reflexology” and pioneering the Integration of Foot Hand Ear Reflexology into the same Reflexology session, we have discovered that when it comes to using Reflexology for the relief of pain, for some parts of the body the feet are more effective, for other parts of the body the hands are more effective, and for yet other parts of the body ears are more effective. The question is, where would you reflex first for most consistent dependable relief of pain in different parts of the body.

During the early phases after a disaster happens, with lots of people in pain, it will be helpful to know which reflex – the reflex on the feet, hands, or ears – will help most for pain relief, not only to help relieve pain as quickly as possible, but also, the sooner pain is reduced, the sooner you can move on to help others. 

After three decades of working with all three, we give you the General

Patters of where to reflex for pain relief:

Priority Reflexing – Top Priority Between Feet Hands Ear

Brain (Headaches & Sinuses) – Hands
Jaws, Neck, Shoulders, Lower Back, Hips, Sciatica – Ears
Thoracic Spine – Feet
Inner Chest and Inner Abdomen – Feet

Reflexing All Three

We also discovered, as logic would suggest, if there is more time to reflex someone, reflexing specific reflexes on all three, feet, hands and ears, produces better results. For example, if someone has lower back pain, reflexing the lower back reflexes on all three, feet hands ears, yields getter results.

Progression Reflexing – Where To Reflex 1st, 2nd, 3rd

When There Is Pain In These Seven Regions Of The Body Reflex:

Brain (Headaches & Sinuses) – Hands 1st, Ears 2nd, Feet 3rd

Jaws, Neck, Shoulders, Lower Back, Hips, Sciatica – Ears 1st, Feet 2nd, Hands 3rd

Thoracic Spine – Feet 1st, Hands 2nd, Ears 3rd

Inner Chest and Inner Abdomen – Feet 1st, Hands a very close 2nd, Ears 3rd

Upper Arms to finger tips – Hands 1st, Feet 2nd, Ears 3rd

Upper Leg to tips of toes – Feet 1st, Hands 2nd, Ears 3rd

Where Reflexes Are Located For Each Of These Parts Of The Body.

1st Hands: half of the thumb closer to the tip
2nd Ears: Upper part of ear lobe
3rd Feet: half of the big toe closer to the tip

Neck

Cause No Injury – Prevent Additional Injury

When people are injured, and in disasters many are likely to be, when
using Reflexology, be careful, be conservative, do not aggravate any
existing condition. This means you might not be able to reflex all or
parts of feet, or hands, or ears. You might need to reflex for very short
periods of time, 5 to 15 minutes, might need to reflex quite lightly, apply
no stretching or pulling – such as on fingers and toes, possibly need to
hold reflexes instead of using movements that move the tissue.

If many are injured, you might need to show people where and how to
reflex their own, as well as their neighbor’s, feet, hands, and ears.

Meaning of “Blind Study”

This study was what is called a “Single Blind” study. What this means is that the research assistants needed to know ahead of time which women were in the Active Reflexology Group so they would give this group of women the real reflexology session, and which women were in the Placebo Control Group so they would give this other group of women the fake reflexology session. This means that the practitioner was not “blind” to which of the two groups each woman belonged.

The women did not know if they were in the Active Reflexology Group or the Placebo Control Group. So the women were “blind” to which group they were in. Saying it more briefly; the practitioners were not blind (they knew which group each woman was in); the women were blind (they did not know which group they were in). This makes it a single blind study.

If both the practitioners and the women did not know which group each woman was in, that would have made it a double blind study, difficult to accomplish when there are specific reflex locations involved.

Reflexology For Neck Pain& Range-of-Motion

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.
