Help for office bound feet!

Help for office bound feet

Are you slumping over your desk again? Yes you! Are your feet hot and irritable, encased in office wear all day ? If you have tenderness in specific parts of your feet,they might be trying to tell you something. Reflexology works on the idea that your feet are a reflection of your body and all its’ organs so if you have tender toes for example it could be that you are just starting a cold;If you have a headache quite often your big toes will be very tender-see below for an easy way to shake off that fuzzy head !
Have a look at the following foot reflexology excercises and give your feet a bit of TLC next time you have a break. Note – please warn your nearest colleagues before you unleash your feet in a crowded office!
toe squeezing!
A much neglected pastime in my opinion - get your toes one at a time,starting with the big toe,and give it a good squeeze all around the fleshy underside,and a pull and a wiggle.The toes all relate to the head and brain and you will probably find if you have a cold your toes will be VERY tender.If you have a headache your big toe might be sore along the inside-give it a good rub and feel yourself relaxing instantly. If you feel a bit embarrassed about exposing your feet, keep your socks on and push your toes into the floor, bending them forwards and back gently as you sit in your chair.
lung relaxer and cough remedy
Do this excercise if you have a persistent cough - make a fist and push it into the top third of your foot underneath( under your toes from the ball of the foot across). Push this part of the foot whilst gripping it with the other hand and let your toes curl around your fist - this will stretch the top of the foot and stimulate the circulation. Now run your fingers down the outside of your big toe to the dip between the toe and the ball of your foot - If you have a cough you should find lots of lumps under the skin here - give them a good rub and a push and this will help to shift your cough.
constipation remedy –
This is easily done on the hands - it is amazing how reflexology can help if you have constipation or a tummy upset. Get a pen or pencil and hold it horizontally between you palms, then roll it between the fleshy pads under the thumbs. This again might be 'lumpy' especially the left thumb pad if you are constipated.
Feeling hormonal?
Ladies , if your hormones are getting the better of you there are two things you can do to your feet to help balance the hormones and stop you having the urge to stab your neighbour with a stapler or eat excessive amounts of chocolate: a, massage all around your heels and under the ankles –theses areas all relate to the reproductive organs and hold a huge amount of tension at certain times of the month. b, refer to the big toe squeeze as the biggest toe holds the reflex point for the pituitary gland,the key to all our monthly misery!


Give your feet a bit of T.L.C. and you will feel better all over!

LDN for Fibromyalgia

Following from the Reflosocks study with fibromyalgia groups in 2009,I have been given information about LDN,a little known drug which seems to be having prolific effects on fibromyalgia and other chronic immune system disorders.
Please have a look at the links on the right for more information about LDN and the LDN research trust.
There is also a convention in Birmingham in October this year.

Fun reflexology exercises!

The Chinese believe that ageing begins with the feet,so if you are looking down at yours and think they look 20 years older than the rest of you then perhaps its' time to pay them a bit of attention!
Here are a few treats you can give your feet to stimulate the reflexology zones and the circulation - if you can't reach them yourself, ask a partner to do it and then swap places! Why not use a favourite body cream to enhance the effect?

Last of all ,don't forget your poor tired heels - give them a really firm massage with your lovely cream and even use your knuckles to give them a treat!
