migraines and children

[apples and oranges]

Hi there a friend of mine has asked me to treat her little boy (8) as he suffers from migraines. They have been getting worse recently and she wonders whether he is anxious about moving up to the junior school. I have treated a few adults clients for migraines and all of them have been a success. However I am slightly apprehensive about treating a child. She is staying in the room with him and all that ... and I know that the principles of the feet are the same.

I'm planning on doing a much shorter treatment about 10 mins per foot and concentrating on the head, neck, CNS, diaphragm, chest, adrenals. But do I need to do anything differently? I've treated my own children but not for anything specific. Perhaps I am being overly worried. I just wondered if any of you had treated children in the past for ailments - specifically migraines - and whether you felt any different treating a child rather than an adult. Also is there anything I should be aware of? Plus what about charging? It's only 20 minutes - do you charge a third of what you would normally do? Sorry all questions but thanks! x

Hi bexx

not a reflexologist so will leave others to answer that -

the reason for posting is that my friends son suffered migraines at about the same age a couple of years ago and they found that it was the tea he was drinking that was the cause - he wasnt drinking a lot, just one cup of tea after school
check his diet - more often than not that is the root cause of migraines. I have to be careful not to eat too much bread, and also potatoes.

Hi bexx

Just a thought but do they drink a lot of coke or fizzy drinks? Try drinking more water or perhaps fruit juices. Diet is also important.
