Footsteps Reflexology Inc.

At present because of the lockdown, reflexologists cannot work. Healthcare is integrative. Reflexology therapists work alongside acupuncturists, chiropractors, massage therapists, physiotherapists, etc. They work in the same clinics and often, the same professional performs different therapies. Please join me in calling for the inclusion of Reflexology Therapy in the most recent public health orders. Please write to your local MPP, contact everyone you know and share this post #mybusinessisnotahobby#ONhobi

LISTENING WITH THE HAND- The hand is an incredibly intricate structure that allows us to feel with tremendous precision and generate body-wide reactions. Osteop...aths have long celebrated the hand’s ability to listen to tissues by feeling and letting the hand sense subtle movements and tensions. This has been expanded upon by many other manual therapists since as a foundation for treatment. The mechanism by which this extraordinary sense functions is of course hidden in the fascia. Fascia is the network in which all of the nervous system’s receptors live, and in this case the most important are mechanoreceptors and tactile cutaneous receptors. Fascial tissue is complexly layered in the hand and the receptors work to provide the unique signaling to the brain so it can listen and make a mental picture of the sensations during palpation. This could explain why trained therapists feel pulses of the PRM or subtle density changes where others cannot. Their brain has learned to hear their hand receptors better than other untrained individuals, much like a person can learn to read braille or be a virtuoso guitar player. Knowing anatomy conceptually is important, but feeling anatomy is critical to building the most accurate understanding of the body.
