Maggie Davis Reflexology

Do people recognize reflexology of the hands or ears in your area or do they think it is just done on the feet?

Feel free to share. Have you heard this saying before?

What does Research say about Reflexology for Pain? Here is one study. Design of study: An ice-pain experiment was undertaken in which the volunteers (n = 15; 11... female and 4 male with a mean SEM age of 37.7 2.6 years) were required to immerse their non-dominant hand in a container of ice-slurry whilst two indications of pain, i.e. threshold, (the time taken for subjects to experience the first pain sensation) and tolerance, (the time when the subject is unable to tolerate any further pain), were measured. Results Compared to control data, reflexology increased acute pain threshold (F(1,14) = 4.5958, p < 0.05) and tolerance (F(1,14) = 5.1095, p < 0.05). Click on the paragraph to go to the nursing website to see some info on the study.

Take care of your feet!
