Restless legs during reflex treatment

[toedduneixpivyerz]

Dear all reflexologists,

I'm a massage therapist currently receiving reflexology treatments as I'm trying to get pregnant with a second child.

I've had 4 treatments so far. The first one I got restless legs during it, which was annoying, but since I occasionally suffer from restless legs, thought it was a one off.

The same happened during the second treatment and I'd say it was probably worse. I felt quite tearful at the end but an outpouring of emotion never quite came. I didn't sleep at all well that night, had bad indigestion and restless legs. I was VERY fatigued next day and I assumed this was my healing crisis. I felt fab the day after that.

The day before the 3rd treatment, I visited an osteopath who worked on my diaphragm, which eased a heavy feeling I had there and the indigestion went. The third reflex treatment was great - no restless legs - yippee. I felt we'd turned the corner from the healing crisis.

Not so, I had my 4th treatment tonight and darn it, frustratingly, I can't relax as I got the restless legs again. Between 3 and 4 I'd had a great level of energy and not a restless leg in sight. It all starts half way through the treatment - I usually begin to feel what I can only describe as nerve impulses up my lower leg that often don't go beyond my knee.

I've researched restless legs syndrome in the past and felt it was mainly nutritional based and took steps to rectify my diet - which really helped and so I've done it now too. It seems to me that, reflexology might be sparking off my restless leg issue. Has anyone seen this before and have you ANY IDEA why it happens and what I can do to prevent it with my therapist? I'm not sure how long I can continue receiving a treatment that is really not an enjoyable experience for me which is such a shame.

Not sure if it's of any relevance, but thought I'd throw it in anyway, I also do lots of running and work as a sports massage therapist for about 5 hours per day. Contributing factors??

Would love your advice if poss.

Yours in Hope as I want to continue if I can.
