WOO-HOO!!! We’ve made an awesome discovery at Footsteps In Eden Reflexology this week, and it fits perfectly with our discussion of sciatic nerve pain. Let’s get started so we can share the news.
During Kim’s reflexology appointment this week, I shared what I had just learned. The reflexology technique we had used to help her with her plantar fasciitis pain has also been found effective in helping those with sciatic pain and neuropathy. Her face lit up as I shared. Thank you, Kim, for allowing us to share your story:
July 2014
Dear Lynn / Footsteps in Eden
It’s been 10 months since I started seeing you for Plantar Fasciitis pain. So, I wanted to formally express my appreciation for your healing touch of Reflexology.
When I first came to you in October of 2013, I could barely walk because my Plantar Fasciitis pain was so intense. That very first treatment gave me some relief and I was so grateful for any relief. Then, as I stuck with the “homework” and kept my Reflexology appointments, I began to slowly have more and more relief from my pain. Even the “balls” (scarred PF ligaments) on the bottom of my feet began to shrink. As you know, prior to trying Reflexology, I was told that the only “cure” was surgery and of course the use of pain medications! Well, I am proof that that is not true! Today I am walking, even running again, and it is not because I had surgery nor because I am taking any pain medications…it’s because I regularly receive your Reflexology treatments. Reflexology is something that I believe everyone should seek for whatever ails them before turning to “normal” medical treatments which lead to numerous side effects. There’s one more thing I’d like to share with you; for many years I have had frequent sciatica pains. Just the other day I realized that since I’d been seeing you for Plantar Fasciitis Reflexology treatments, I have not had one single sciatica episode! Reflexology and you are my biggest blessings! Thanks again, Lynn!” –Kim Ewing, RN
Kim was seeking out a more natural approach. The results were significant, and she continues to make reflexology a life style priority.
The plan today was to share different natural and/or home-based options for help with sciatic nerve pain. Obviously, after this testimonial we believe reflexology may be the top of the list. One or a combination of alternative remedies may be the key to relief for you or someone you love. Here are a few. The links that follow are quite comprehensive and worth your investigation.
Accupucture
Chiropractic
Massage
Cold/Heat packs
Yoga
Posture improvement exercises
Gentle movement
Balance Ball
Essential oils (Be sure to check back for Connie’s testimonial on this next week.)
