The mind is like a parachute, it only functions when it is open.

Reflexology can be performed safely and effectively in situations where massage and movement therapies are contraindicated. For example, immediately following an accident, injury, stroke or surgery, the tissue in the related areas may be inflamed, bandaged, painful or in a state of recovery.


The reflexive action of reflexology offers a means to ease discomfort and support the healing process to the injured area without touching it. The following experiences illustrate that reflexology is appropriate when other bodywork is not.


  1. A client in her 70s, who goes regularly for bodywork for discomfort in the head, neck and upper shoulders, presented with bandages on her neck from recent skin surgery. Working her neck was contraindicated. reflexology released her muscle tension and improved her mobility and circulation in her head and neck.


  1. A dental procedure resulted in a severe head injury. Symptoms included jaw dislocation, misalignment of cranial bones, absent or slurred speech, lack of tone on right side of head and face and debilitating pain throughout the effected areas. Reflexology was absolutely essential in relieving and controlling the head pain during all phases of the healing process.


  1. A nurse practitioner in her 40s, underwent chemotherapy and radiation for cancer. She requested reflexology to reflexively work the upper chest to relieve pain from recently inserted stent. Within a few minutes of working the shoulder and upper chest reflexes on the feet, all her discomfort subsided and she slept peacefully. Her medical doctor and oncologist fully supported her use of reflexology. The client advocated to her medical team and colleagues how reflexology -more than any other form of bodywork and comfort care- relieved her symptoms of pain, anxiety and fear.

Reflexology When Massage Is Not Possible

New Research Shows That Quantum Touch Reduces Pain

The Impact of Quantum-Touch on Clients with Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain by Adara L. Walton.

Everyone has experienced physical pain in his/her life for one reason or another; however, musculoskeletal pain is prevalent among humans.


This research studied the issue of a relatively new holistic modality, Quantum-Touch, and its impact on adult clients with chronic musculoskeletal pain.


The results and findings demonstrated with high statistical significance, that Quantum-Touch hands-on healing was effective on chronic pain when administered for a minimum of 20 minutes on both men and women.  Over the duration of the study, for those who received Quantum-Touch energy, there appeared to be a calming or relaxing effect resulting at the conclusion of the sessions.
