Stimulation during Reflexology

[mew2fling]

Hey, does anybody know any good linking exercises that would be good for stimulating a client during a reflexology session? I have a client who would like this instead of relaxation.
Thanks, Zoe

There are a few that I use sometimes to stimulate a client at the end of a treatment if it's required.

- A chopping action using the side of the hand up and down the spinal reflex.

- Knuckling into the soles of the feet.

- Strumming with all the finger tips on the soles of the feet.

- Right hand thumb on left foot, from splenic flexure, sweeping diagonally to rectal reflex. Left hand thumb from hepatic flexure sweeping diagonally to equivalent point on right foot. I usually work these both at the same time.

Hi Zoe

Strange thing but I was going to write a post about this same thing. Our tutor has told us that for a stimulating treatment we should use deep and slow movements and for a relaxing treatment we should use lighter pressure and faster movements.

I haven't tried this out yet as I am still training and at the stage where I am only able to concentrate on remembering the routine, but I wonder if anyone experienced with reflexology would know if this fast/light and slow/deepmethod works?
