help with reflexology and rheumatoid arthritis.

[audri]

I have been asked about rheumatoid arthritis and how to perform a reflexology session. problem is they have given us no info on this and not taught us how to do this.

so I am stumped.

can anyone help please?

Hi mardigras. I have not had experience in this area I'm afraid. Are you a member of a professional association eg AoR whom you could contact for advice? Also, see if you can get hold of some in depth reflexology books such as Beryl Crane's to see what they say.

ok will look into the book it's so unfair they have asked this question as they haven't taught us anything about it.

thanks

I've worked with quite a few clients with Rheumatoid Arthritis. My first few treatments are shorter than usual (20mins-30mins depending on client's condition) as i don't want to cause a healing crisis. For the pain/inflammation i focus on the adrenal glands, circulation and organs of elimination. If the client is on medication then i usually find the liver and stomach to be sensitive so i do extra work on these. Glucosamine Sulphate is a good supplement for R.A.

Hope this helps!
