Hello, This is Victoria Sprigg. Find me on Twitter @SpriggVictoria or facebook Victoria Sprigg and my page Victoria Sprigg - Health at Hand for daily health and lifestyle tips, photos and comments. I look forward to being your friend. New video coming in 2012.
Hello everyone. This is Victoria Sprigg, the massage therapist. I'm so delighted you enjoy the video and invite you to request to be my friend on my Victoria Sprigg facebook site. You'll see me wearing a purple salon dress. Once friends, you receive regular tips and advice on health and well-being. An amazing 14,000 of you daily watch these youtube films now. Thank you.
People I have great news! Victoria Sprigg is on Facebook Now! She has updated her former Facebook page to a business Facebook account. She still looks incredible and she is adding new friends. I had requested for her to add me as a friend for awhile and she emailed me yesterday to let me know of the change and that I could add her! Just type in 'Victoria Sprigg'. She is wearing a purple top!
y-you know.... because I might be able to feel your skeleton...but just tell me if you feel anything... Like.. my psychic waves telling you to feel bruised WHEN I PUSH LIKE THIS.
I love this woman's voice. I'll put all these on a playlist and play it while I sleep. So relaxing.
One thing that tickles me about this clip is where she says its easier to access the center of the foot that corresponds to the liver, than it is to access the liver. What would you do? Massage the liver if you could?
@spamsponge You are a genius. I idolize you. And your incredibly witty responses to people who took your posts seriously. They must be experiencing a clogged energy line... Friggin unicorns...
You can't very well go into a clinic and say "A footrub, please"... That's why we need swiss reflex techniques: to rationalize our need to have our feet touched.
I love this video series but I had a hard time understanding what she meant by respiratory system, then I realized what she was talking about. The english pronounce it differently than Americans.
Hey, I'm as scientific-driven as the next geek, but chi exists long enough for comfort's sake, at the very least. While I'm getting a massage, it exists, okay? Besides, science is not in position to brag--we're still not even sure what makes gravity work. We have a good guess, but it's still a guess. We must be honest that there's still many things science cannot explain yet. So who knows? Maybe a form of spiritual chi really DOES exist...
@SuperGamer87 Wiki excerpt "In physics, the graviton is a hypothetical elementary particle that mediates the force of gravitation in the framework of quantum field theory."
@SuperGamer87 And I do believe that science is VerY much in a position to brag 8D Thank the pioneers of science, math and engineering, that you are not now sitting in a cave eating your mammoth raw.
@SanctumZero Well, should we have nothing but awesome storytelling, literature, craft, philosophy, language, and history (which happens quite by itself) ;D You'd still be sitting in a cave eating your mammoth raw! You might know how to make fire. But you'd have a hard time recording any of the above if no one in your tribe had come up with something like clay tablets. And you wouldn't have much time for it anyway if you didn't know domestication and agriculture. And are you hot?
Actually yes she does... she has the left foot raised to start with while she checks the right then goes for the left foot to examine - when the camera changes she still has the right foot in her hand and the left is still raised - you can see it at the top of the screen!! oopsie lol :)
What bothers me about this is it is completely ignoring and rectifying the real causes for the 'grittiness' (Which is actually swelling and scar tissue) - and pain, and is not rectifying the actual issues, which often come from jobs spent on feet, unsupportive footwear, lack of proper show inserts, postural problems, and improper walking/running technique (which are often caused by knee/hip problems, which are often caused by IT band tightness).
This is all kind of silly! I mean, we actually DO know, scientifically, what causes "gritty energy lines"; it's when a unicorn has trod over the grave of a cursed leprechaun who lived near the patient. To fix this simply mix up a potion of elderberry jam, a pint of water from a elven stream, and a sprinkle of faerie dust and apply the salve to the forehead. This will polish your energy lines to a glossy finish in no time.
@spamsponge heheh, scientifically, I'm pretty sure it has been discovered to have "relaxing" properties. If they want to babble about energy lines as an explanation for why you feel better whatever, I don't care as long as I feel better.
@charlibabe I'm not saying that the reflexology treatment doesn't work, I'm just saying that the potion I described will do a much better job if your energy lines are gritty. The larger issue is of course the tragedy that people like Aparashi have suffered due to the unicorn stampede problem. Unicorn habitats are threatened all across the globe, forcing them closer and closer to leprechaun gravesites and thus having the gritty energy line side effect. We must all do what we can to help.
@spamsponge Have you ever had a reflexology massage? Have you ever even researched reflexology? I doubt you have, otherwise you would know that there is some science behind it. Thousands of years ago, people didn't know what the lymph system was, so they explained it using words like "energy lines". The grittiness people feel are the lumps within this system that are designed to remove patgogens and antigens from the body by despositing them in lympnodes. Science, not magic, and a very wise idea
@MaddestHatterFilms No, but my next door neighbor had one and some of the positive Chi reflected off his walls and hit me through an open window. Unfortunately I was not aware what had happened at the time. Since he was having a treatment for his right elbow my left foot suddenly felt awesome and I was able to jump higher than usual. Also I have researched reflexology by means of researching catfish noodling. It may seem odd, but the research pathways are mapped that way.
lol I used to think like you, really man, everything she says sounds so bullshiting, it makes no sense right?, but some weeks ago, my right shoulder was very ichy, and everytime I moved my arm, it was in pain, the next day the same, plus a spotted pain on my right foot, I was like gtfo, no way, and I came to see the video and the foot chart, and the pain was exactly on the shoulder point at the foot, shited myself, i cleaned my ass and my mom massaged the spot, the next day i was (:
@spamsponge dude...go get a massage...just because YOU don't like the theory doesn't make it incorrect...and you can leave off the hyperbole...it doesn't serve you or the "point" you're making, it makes you seem like a dick.
No... it serves him and his point.. and it doesnt even have enough validity to be considered a theory..im sure it feels good, but reflexology is bullshit.
I know! I mean, everyone can see the benefit of a massage as it is relaxing etc. but there is no need to give it more credit by making up stuff. She might aswell say "I am casting a spell on you".
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
LMAO! If a person uses the word Chi to describe what a technique influences, then a person can conclude she is dealing with spirituality- NOT a medical procedure. all reflexology is is a longer and much firmer foot massage. You can tell its bullshit by the way she keeps asking her idiot patients questions trying to prove reflexology is real. She needs to stick to massage and eighty-six the witch doctor treatments. I mean what the hell is an AROMATHERAPIST! LOL! What a bunch of new-age nonsense!
I completely agree. Call it what it is guys...it's an awesome foot massage. If it makes you feel better all over, hell it's because your feet hurt. But no, there's not as much money in simply calling it a foot massage. Have to make up invisible, magic meridians. lol
These techniques are based on Asian accupressure concepts. The Asians call them meridians. It's not hocus pocus or silly new age fluff, it's old hat, the nomenclature describes a specific physiological reality, lines, call them meridians, marma points or use Western medical phraseology, it makes no difference, but it describes a real thing, she's not making it up. It's like chi, which is just a Chinese word that corresponds with what science knows as neuro-electrical impulses in the body.
The reasoning will enhance any effect whatsoever - it is called placebo effect and accounts for more than half of any effect of any treatment, be it alternative or so called school medicine.
@indianajks You're ridiculous. Its called a freakin FOOT MASSAGE. You could have ebola reston and this would make you feel better! It wouldn't actually.. you know.. MAKE you better, but MAN. A good foot rub can make you feel GREAT! Healthy balance is all bollocks but yeah.. we do use our feet alot and they don't get much TLC. (No offense to Dr Scholls!)
