reflexology

[Tessaroo]

has anyone here had reflexology for the pain? I’m going next week to see if it will relive it, just wondered if anyone had tried it😊x

Hi I havent had reflexology for endometriosis but endo is basically blood stagnation. This is a diagnosis of TCM, traditional chinese medicine, (this is a very basic explanation), and reflexology can free up blockages and may indeed help you. I have had reflexology for other problems and it was great. You may also consider seeing a good acupuncturist who should be able to get things moving as they should and also help with pain.

I have an appointment tomorrow. I’ve had it on and off but may try to keep it up a bit more regularly. I’m not sure if it helps me but I have too much tummy pain for a massage so worst case at least it’ll be nice and relaxing.

Mine is mainly back pain but hopefully it will help! Hope yours goes okay tomorrow xx

Yeah I’ve had just one, and it was interesting as it was a few weeks after my operation and there were areas that were really painful for her to massage - which she said were areas related to ovaries and bladder.

Hope it works.

Omg it worked!! I have only been to the bathroom once in the past week despite taking picolax! She felt my bowels were “clunky” (you could hear it pop) and then I was straight into the bathroom when I got home!

We had a reflexologist come into our group meetings who does the same for cancer patients (often a side effect of opioids), she says she’s often called in when laxatives and enemas don’t work.

I also work within healthcare and seen a lot of the clinical teams recommending it as a holistic therapy so thought I should try it regularly.
