Thyroid reaction

[Rachel.]

Morning all!!

I was treating a client last night and was working away at the base of the big toe (which in my training is location of thyroid reflec - i know there is some debate about the exact location of it!) and on each foot when i was working away here my client became really lethargic and groggy. When i moved on to another reflex this feeling went away butshe said it quite overwhelming. Has anyone ever noticed this before?
I gues i am flagging this up as my client's family has a history of thyroid problems, both over and underactive. DO anyone think this could be related? Should i be careful aorund this area or just carry on and with continued treatments hope that it eases?

Any advice greatly appreciated!

Hello J,
Imat college doingreflexologyand ivejust starting my client studies. I havent come across anything like youve had? However if your not sure if there might be a problemthen prehaps referthem to the doctors? Remember we are not here to Diagnosis. Have they got other symptoms? How long have you been treating them? I would carry on with the treatment unless the client has contraindations saying not to.

Take Care

PsPerhaps follow the foot map you have been trained with there are so many different types, Just stick with what works best for you.

I'd carry on with the treatments and just make special note to see if it happens again and monitor how the sessions are effecting her as a whole. Check for any changes in her general health and well being before every treatments and just keep an eye on it.
