Reflexology

TheCatWoman

I've just had a reflexology treatment and I feel wonderful, places that I didn't know were hurting and holding tension have stopped hurting and relaxed, my shoulders are about 3-4 inches lower than they were this morning. I know this treatment will work through my body fully over the next few days and I hope to have a fairly pain free xmas.

It's a strange thing having your feet rubbed and prodded and feeling your jaw or neck move and relax, you don't know what part of the body the part of the foot they're working on relates too, but you can feel it.

  • That sounds wonderful - i would love to try that. I’m having my tooth out tomorrow and I’m so scared - and my whole body feels like a ball of tension right now. I’ve never had reflexology. In truth nothing I’ve ever tried has really been very effective at helping my anxiety when it’s bad. Alcohol helps a bit - but annoyingly you apparently can’t drink after a surgical extraction. I was watching a programme the other night about that actor from friends taking ketamine. I’d never dare take anything like that (ironically I’m too anxious about drugs to take drugs to help with my anxiety!) !but I can totally see why people get so desperate that they’ll try anything. I get so frustrated with myself that ordinary aspects of life can feel totally unbearable and unmanageable for me.

    I'm having mine out on thursday, I've had teeth out before and I prefer it as a proceedure than fillings, it's usually quite quick, just don't be afraid to say you need more anasthetic if you feel any pain at all. Maybe try some chamomile tea to help you relax?

    Refleology is a weird one, I love having it done, but I'm not sure I could do it for others, as well as being relaxing it also helps your general health as different parts of the feet relate to different parts of the body.

    I get the frustration too, everything seems so complicated these days, deliberately over complicated, as I've said before I often feel as though I'm in an abusive relationship with the internet. I get uptight taking Fearn for a walk to certain places as people can get so horrible and most of them dont' even live here. I've started asking myself basic counselling questions again, like does this belong to you? A lot of the time, it's not me or mine, its the way society seems to be getting more and more unfriendly, not just in personal interactions, but in its systems and public facing stuff.
