swollen bladder reflex points

[Bryan A]

Hi All & Happy new year,

Do any of you know what a very swollen / prominent bladder relex point -on both feet -means?

Thanks in advance,

In my experience, it usually means they have a full bladder at the time of the treatment.

Yes, I agree. I always ask my clients now if they are 'comfortable' or need to go to the loo before starting, and again half way through sometimes!! If its puffy and they dont want to go to the loo, I usually advise them to drink plenty of water, as it may be due to an 'irritable bladder'

The reflex is usually very puffy on pregnant women too.

A well defined bladder reflex is also supposed to be a sign of a bladder that has good healthy muscle tone.

That makes sense, I'll have to do a survey
