Another reflexology convert


Well, had my 1st reflexology today, and have to say I loved it. She was really good, no pain (sorry Lu!)

Stiff neck, blocked endocrine system and a sore pelvis (which plagues me when I run so was impressed she picked it up!)
She also worked to make sure my fallopian tubes were clear and my ovaries were both functioning. Really weird but when she did my ovaries I could feel it tingling across my feet/legs so hopefully O will be soon.
Have another appointment next Friday (after O) and the week after.

Definitely gets the thumbs up from me

I'm glad it went well for you , I think I must just have had a bad experience. May try someone different next month if need be!

Did you find it relaxing?

Don't worry! It's meant to generally relax you and destress you which can help given that stress is known to cause fertility problems. They can also sense if you have ovarian or fallopian tube blockages etc and can work at freeing it all up. My cousin does it and said that after a session, if you don't want to get pg you should double up on contraception! So thought it was worth a go.

Unfortunately for me, far from being relaxing, it was very painful and my feet and legs are still tender - my session was on Tuesday! I think I'm the exception to the rule though, there's alot of other who have had very positive experiences.

did you tell them it was for fertility reasons? i have been reading up on it and they reckon that it has a really high success rate. anything is worth a go right?! was just wondering if they do a different session if it is specifically for fertility etc.
