Hi Danielle,
Yes, I have used it many times to be tested for various medical problems and have had great results with it.
Skype me or pqn me and I'll tell you more and try to answer any questions you might have.
My contact info is in my profile.

Hi Danielle,
I've used reflexology, too. Personally, I think it's great. I'm a massage therapist, so I use it often during massages. When I was in school, and we had people come in for us to practice on, they found that reflexology really helped them. In reflexology, each point on the foot represents another part in the body, so therefore, while someone is working on your feet, their also working on the corresponding body part. I think it's something to at least try. It may not be for all people, but at least try it.

Oooh! There was a chick in the town we were in, when I was ten or so, who did reflexology. We had a session every weekend. She taught me all the correspondences, and after a while, she'd do my feet for a bit, and then I'd do hers' and get a critique. She did it professionally, she was a beautician as well, but I don't think she ever charged me for it. Haven't done it for years though, and not sure how much I remember. You can use the hands of course, instead of the feet, and find the same points of correspondence, but it definitely feels better on the soles of the feet.

Oh yeah, oops. i forgot to mention that you can use the hands instead of the feet, if you wanted.

Sorry, I'm a reflexology failure. I tried it for three months every two weeks for arthritis to no avail.

Frankly, I fail to see where the science is here. How can you have something that effects specific parts of the body in the hands or feet?

Hi everyone,
I am sorry, I posted incorrectly on this subject before.
I was talking about muscle testing, not reflexology.
I haven't used it, but it sounds intriguing.

I think reflexology is helpful. The prices very, depending on the therapist you go to, but usually it's on the high side, which is unfortunate. That's why I don't do it very often. However, I'm one of those odd people who thinks it feels better when my hands are used, not my feet. I guess each to his/her own, especially in a practice like this.
