Cream to the feet? Reflexology NEVER uses cream or oils.Those are for foot massage.Why are massage therapists with 8 hrs training in reflexology touting themselves as reflexologists?
This technique is more of a "massage" than "reflexology". My opinion is reflexology is NOT massage. It works by using various thumb and finger techniques on specific points and regions on the feet. I have been a massage therapist since 1990. In my massage school only 8 hours were dedicated to reflexology. Some schools do vary. I ended up taking an additional 300 hrs of classroom and practicum in reflexology. Most states don't include reflexology in their massage laws or definitions of massage.
@SDorje I totally agree. I put a bit of powder on the feet to do a Reflexology treatment on a client. After, when I do a foot massage, I put oil to do the massage.

I need to get into this alternative medicine crap. People are so stupid, you tell them it releases stress, gets rid of the toxins, you name it. Charge $60/hour. Good scam, great income. Keep it coming, I feel inspired
Lol a lot of people have used this technique while doing a foot massage, it's definitely not a new thing that you invented. Doing small circles on actual pressure points works a lot better!
Looks relaxing. I have been a reflexologist for years and it is good to use different techniques. Our intent is the key, what do you want to achieve from the session, clinical results, relaxation? If you can relax the client, it offers the opportunity to release and let go of unwanted energies. I would give this guy my foot. Blessings, Helen Jeanne
who is he to invent a new technique? also one thing is a foot massage and the other is working on the meridians of the feet? I have been using reflex. for years and it is about points for specific problems or causes? Stretching and rotation of foot is forgotten here? the toes are so important in reflex...not here? good luck guy, please be a little kinder to the universe!
hello vincerocksmysocks, oh, dear...I'm amazed that you ask??? Style? My own doubts? I also think that he creates a new reflexMethod that in the long run asks more questions? Peace?
There are many reasons why as a reflexologist i find this technique a little odd .... firstly ... he is repeatedly going over and over the kidney and uretra point - lets hope the client doesn't have kidney stones as he would be encouraging the stones back up to the kidney - - also you can adopt many different techniques to save pressure on the thumbs arches in the arm relieve pressure as does using other joints to administer the treatment.
This technique appears to be a modified version of "standard" techniques. It just allows greater "feeling" for the practitioner and also helps prevent sorness in the practitioners thumb. The same principles are used, just a different angle of the thumb and also more connection to the foot. I am sure he would not make the statement to a real client that he was developing a technique.
This guy is doing it all wrong. You NEVER let the client know that you developed the technique. It's ALWAYS more effective if they think it was developed in China thousands of years ago. And why isn't he speaking in a soft, calming voice? Doesn't this guy know anything about administering effective placebos?
Agreed. What would make you feel safer, knowing you're using techniques developed over thousands of years by traditional methods or using techniques developed by this random guy (which, even if he's dedicated his whole life to it, couldn't be any more than four decades worth of work)?
This is a video demonstration, a teaching tool. I suppose that he could demonstrate a clinical version of interaction with a client. But we wouldn't actually hear him say much at all, and I think that would sort of defeat the purpose of the videos intent.
Reflexologists do not advocate the use of creams, lotions or "goo" - this is a type of foot massage!

I was wondering if someone had their legs amputated would the thousands of nerves that are on the feet be on the bottom of the stubs of their legs?

I think more people are willing to pay for this because it feels good and relaxing, not because they believe it has some actual medicinal relevance.
