Viral Meningitis & Reflexology

[Pompal 09.]

Hi everyone!!! I hope I find you all well?

I just need a little advice really. I did some taster sessions at a local school today, and a lady came to have a Reflexology session but she was JUST getting over Viral meningitis. She still felt a bit tired but apart from that, she said that she was fine.

Anyway, I was offering Foot Reflexology or a Foot massage and I said that I personally would feel more comfortable giving a gentle foot massage rather than a Reflexology taster. She was quite happy with this and said that she would go with what I thought to be best.

All went well, but I was wondering if anyone else had treated anybody who was in the latter stages of this condition, and would they have done anything differently? I probably worried about nothing, but I just went with my gut feeling

Thanks

Hi Jane
I think you did the right thing. Always go with your gut feelings. I haven't come across anyone with this problem, but if I ever do I think I would also play it safe and offer an alternative treatment. But I know what you mean after a situation I go other things in my head and question myself too! I think all therapists are the same, but Iwould say it is better to be that way than too cocky.

I think you did the right thing also.

Hiya
If you followed your feelings that was the right thing to do, however she would probably not have the viral meng. anymore but just be washed away with it so i may well have given a gentle treatment to help the body back into balance....but that is just me...

[sm=1kis.gif]Thanks everyone. That's put my mind at rest!! I haven't been qualified that long so I need a bit of reassurance now and again!!

It's good to have this kind of support.
