Google 'healing crisis reaction' and 'reflexology'.

You could google most of the questions you have asked on here and got the info you need. I am training still and I do this frequently when I'm not sure of something.

Good luck!

then get another book.

to answer this particular question, if you believe that Reflexology can help medical conditions, then you HAVE to believe it can aggravate them too.
As for the why; that'd be the same reasons as why it can help.

Hi Weepea

I was taught that reflexology, apart from when there is contra-indication, can do no harm.

I believe that reflex helps with all conditions medical or otherwise, but I do not agree that this means I should believe that they aggravate them too.

Reflexology is incredibly gentle and balancing. More to the point it is the body which is doing the healing anyway, the treatment and practitioner simply provide the correct 'environment' to facilitate the body's own natural healing.
Reflexology isn't the only factor involved in the healing and so I do not think it can cause any harm by itself. As long as a client is treated holistically and as an individual I do not believe that it can worsen medical conditions.

With regards to your other question - yes reflexology helps, and you should find out why and how etc during your course. Have fun!

Katy.

How can you believe that something which can affect a medical (or any other) condition, can do so in a purely benevolent way? the world doesn't work like that.
If something has an effect, then that effect can be good OR bad.

I think I explained that in my post - it is the client themsleves which is the dominant factor in their healing, - the reflexology does not 'affect the condition', rather it affects the client and their own healing capacity. Therefore I do not believe that reflexology is 'powerful' (for want of a better word) enough to cause harm or a worsening of a condition. I do not think what I say is unusual either, I think many practitioners share the view that reflex is gentle, non-invasive, calming an balancing.

I also don't claim to have a monopoly on 'how the world works'. Who knows how the world works??! We are only guessing.
