Client feels sick after reflexology!

[pimp4life518]

Hi All

I gave a client a reflexology session on Friday and warned her of the possible healing reactions over the next few days. However, she was literally sick on Saturday. She has had reflexology before and reacted in the same way. So, I know that it is not anything I did (well I hope not).

What does this mean? Can any of you reflexology gurus help me understand this?

Thanks

Alka

Hi Alka,

I wouldnt worry about this, in my opinion this is a positive way for her body to react. There is obviously a lot going on in her body right now that she needs to get rid of, and being physically sick is one of the most quickest ways to get it out. As they say "better out than in". Hopefully with another session or so, her body should start to get back into balance. This shows your doing your job well, i.e sorting out the imbalances in her body.

Hope this helps!

When I dida reflexology class many years ago, I had the equivalent of 4 hours treatment in one day ( I was the body for the afternoon session) - when I got on the train to go home I felt so ill I thought I was going to die! When I got to my home station, my husband asked if I ought to go to hospital (a simple 'welcome back' would have been nice). I vomited for about 6 hours - whilst sat on the loo, as the world was falling from my bottom at the same time! I eventually got to sleep at 4 in the morning. When I woke up at lunchtime I felt fantastic! No headache, no tummy ache. Just brilliant! Since then, whenever one of my colleagues has worked on me, I know that I will have a reaction. It is not so severe these days, and I make sure that I am not doing anything taxing for the following 24 hours! It may be that your clients body is sensitive to treatment.

just as an aside, you do work down the stomach/ digestive reflexes?

Hi there

Thanks for your replies - they are really encouraging. So really, I should get her to rebook another few sessions to help in the long run. I will let her know why this has happened.

Jabba - I can't believe what you experienced. I'm glad that you felt great in the end.

Rosie - thanks. Yes I do work down the digestive reflexes - intestine etc. These area were quite tender when I treated her.

OK - so I need to get her to re-book a few sessions in order to bring back balance. I hope that she is not put off it all.

Thanks again

Just another aside.....you are making sure that she drinks plenty of water afterwards to flush out the toxins?

Sorry to be so obvious but it could be down to that.....

Hi Alx

Thanks for your response. I think it is a good response as although we tell clients to drink enough water after a reflexology session, I really wonder how many do.

My client says that she is very sensitive to reflexology and has experienced this before. It hasn't stopped her from re-booking though which is great as I hope that over several treatments she will feel better.

Thanks again
