Reflexology is a natural, non-invasive healing art that is based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet, hands and ears that correspond to every part of the body. The physical image of the body is mapped onto the feet in a logical, anatomical pattern; the toes represent the head, the ball of the foot represent the chest area, the soft part of the foot corresponds to the internal organs and the heel of the foot corresponds to the pelvic region in our body.

Shoulder Pain

I worked on a woman yesterday who had a lot of pain in her right shoulder, specifically in her trapezius muscle. Though not standard reflexology, I had her lie on her back with her head in my direction. I placed my hands under her upper back, slightly medial to the scapula (shoulder blades). Using my middle fingers I put a little bit of pressure upward on a trigger point and the tightness and pain disappeared immediately. She was surprised and very grateful that the pain was gone so quickly.
