Sciatica and Reflexology

REFLEXOLOGY RELIEVED THE EXCRUTIATING PAIN OF SCIATICA


I have a client who has a blood disorder and cannot take anti-inflammatory medication. Unfortunately she also suffers from sciatica and so is not able to take Ibruprofen or similar products.

When she first came to see me, I treated for sciatica as part of the main reflexology treatment. As I usually recommend, this client had three treatments close together then gradually spread them out until she was coming to me once every three weeks or so. During this time the sciatica totally disappeared. Although in the past she had visited physiotherapists, osteopaths and chiropractors, reflexology was the only therapy that had any impact at all.

Then all changed! Following a long flight, then a car journey without rests, the sciatica was back with a vengeance. So much so that my client could hardly move.

I decided more drastic treatment was called for and gave half hour reflexology treatments at two day intervals instead of the usual hour long treatment once a week. During the reflexology treatments I started with some relaxing moves then worked just on the spine reflex, the sciatic loop and the bladder meridian against the energy flow.

As this was the first time I have given very specific treatments for half the time, I was interested in how effective this strategy would be. I can report 100% success. My client was delighted to be able to move again without pain. And also it was more economical for her than having to pay for full treatments.

From my own business perspective, this is something I shall offer again to other clients, provided the client books two half hour treatments within a week, maybe paying the total cost in advance. Then I don't lose revenue and the client gets two focussed, very effective treatments.
