Woman in early 30’s. Overweight, some health problems. Complaining of allergies, irregular menses, possible pre-diabetic conditions.
Treatment #: 1st treatment
Date: Sept. 2, 2006
Signs during treatment:
1) Very sensitive feet when walking thumbs and fingers with very light acupressure being applied. Patient showed EXTREME sensitivity and begged me to use lighter pressure. The only way I could use lighter pressure was to not touch her feet.
Special reflexes that were noticed: (SS stands for sensitivity scale)
1) Toes, neck, uterus, lymphatic, sciatic were all 10+. Everything else was a 7-9.
Symptoms from the patient:
- “That was so painful.”
- Patient reported feeling like I was cutting her skin with my nails while I worked the reflexes or I was cutting her skin with glass.
- Patient extremely relaxed when the treatment ended. Took a nap afterwards.
- Reported her feet felt like they were ‘walking on air’ after the treatment.
Conclusion of first visit:
I’ve never seen anyone with this much hypersensitivity to almost all her reflexes. She did mention that she has an extremely low threshold of pain. She’s not looking forward to treatment, but to the way she’ll feel afterwards.
*(SS) stands for Sensitivity Scale
*Scale goes from 1 to 10. 1 is like a light tickle and 10 feels like a nail is being driven into the foot. Reflex pain above a 7 gets my attention.
Part 2:
Woman in early 30’s. Overweight, some health problems. Complaining of allergies, irregular menses, possible pre-diabetic conditions.
Treatment #: 2nd treatment
Date: Sept. 9, 2006
Signs during treatment:
1) Showed a marked drop in sensitivity to all her reflexes on only second treatment. Was able to relax during her treatment, mostly.
Special reflexes that were noticed: (SS stands for sensitivity scale)
1) Hip/sciatic 10+
2) Eyes/ears left foot 10+
3) Bronchial reflex 7
4) Ovaries 10+
Symptoms from the patient:
- “I behaved much better didn’t I? It didn’t hurt as much.”
- Patient reported numbness when I applied pressure to the top of her large toes.
- Patient again extremely relaxed when the treatment ended. Took a nap afterwards.
- Reported again her feet felt like they were ‘walking on air’ after the treatment.
Conclusion of second visit:
She still has extreme sensitivity in a couple of areas, but none in the rest of her feet. She was able to relax in only one treatment and is now looking forward to next week’s treatment instead of conclusion.

Part 3:
Woman in early 30’s. Overweight, some health problems. Complaining of allergies, irregular menses, possible pre-diabetic conditions.
Treatment #: 3rd treatment
Date: Sept. 15, 2006
Signs during treatment:
Pain was on high alert today, with all reflexes being very sensitive. I used very little pressure yet patient was experiencing above average pain.
Special reflexes that were noticed: (SS stands for sensitivity scale)
1) Hip/sciatic 10+
2) Sinus Reflexes on both feet
3) Bronchial/Chest Lung on right foot 7
4) Ovaries/Uterus 10+
Symptoms from the patient:
- “I thought this was supposed to not hurt as much Doug? I still have not had a menstruation cycle in over a year.”
- Patient still had not had a period as hoped by making visits with me.
- Patient again extremely relaxed when the treatment ended.
- Reported again her feet felt like they were ‘walking on air’ after the treatment. She just loves that feeling.
Conclusion of third visit:
She still has extreme sensitivity in both feet. This is unusual for a third time visit. And still no progress with menstrual cycle. So far the only benefit to this patient has been relaxation. Just goes to show reflexology is not an instant cure for patient problems. Only time will tell if reflexology (in this case) will assist her body to normalize.
Part 4:
Woman in early 30’s. Overweight, some health problems. Complaining of allergies, irregular menses, possible pre-diabetic conditions.
Treatment #: 4th treatment
Date: Sept. 22, 2006
Signs during treatment:
Pain was mitigated in this visit. I still used very little pressure yet patient was experiencing above average pain only in a few areas.
Special reflexes that were noticed: (SS stands for sensitivity scale)
1) Sinus Reflexes on both feet
2) Ovaries/Uterus 10+
Symptoms from the patient:
- “It wasn’t as bad as last week. Only very painful in a few areas.”
- Patient reported that she began her menstrual cycle two days after her last treatment (number 4). This is significant because she has not had a period in over a year!
- Patient again extremely relaxed when the treatment ended. Reported again her feet felt like they were ‘walking on air’ after the treatment. She just loves that feeling.
Conclusion of fourth visit:
She still has extreme sensitivity in both feet but only in a few areas. It is of interest that one month after her first session, she started menstruating. The other obvious benefit to this patient has been relaxation. As her body begins to ‘normalize’ she will be helped in other areas as well.
