Reflosocks for back and neck pain and Fibromyalgia

In February 2009 Reflotherapies conducted a trial in conjunction with Fibromyalgia U.K. on 48 fibromyalgia sufferers to find out if Reflosocks for back and neck pain would be helpful in alleviating the symptoms of fibromyalgia.
Testers were asked to wear Reflosocks as often as possible for approx. 6 weeks after which time a feedback form was sent to them .
56% of testers reported that Reflosocks were extremely helpful/very helpful/quite helpful in alleviating their condition.
54% of the study group were able to reduce the level of painkillers they were taking.
33% reported increased mobility
30 % reported an ease in joint pain
30 % reported improved circulation
44 % reported sleeping better
37% found that their energy levels seemed to improve.
The following are quotes from users :

" Not only do they take the pain away or lessen it,which is a benefit in itself,but if I am feeling tense (which makes the pain worse anyway)-they help me to relax and feel very mellow."

" they do seem to help and are most comfortable;I don't want to take them off."

"There is some pain relief in my back and shoulders - I can knit more now,which I enjoy."

"Thankyou so much for the socks .They have definitely made a difference."

" When walking with Reflosocks on I can feel pressure points picking up painful areas underfoot,which is most relaxing."

" Any easy way to try reflexoloy."

"They help - relief at last!"

"Its' a convenient and easy way to help oneself."

"they improved my mobility and circulation whilst at work."
