Research from India

"This work had been carried out with financial support of Indian Council of Medical Research, Government of India."

Conclusions
This study demonstrated that reflexology therapy in addition to pharmacological therapy may be recommended in reducing the neuropathic pain and improving quality of life and may achieve holistic benefits to the patients suffering from diabetic neuropathy. However, the evaluation of reflexology therapy as an adjunctive regimen warrants further investigations to be carried out in a larger sample size amongst various communities.

Mildred Carter: Stop Pain with Reflexology

This video was originally made in the mid 1980s by renown reflexologist Mildred Carter. She was somewhere in her 80s when it was filmed. Look at her hands -- what amazing technique and strength!

I am a Certified Reflexologist. Ms. Carter's video and books were influential on me. I have always appreciated her matter-of-fact, "low-woo" approach.

This is a very rare program. It is nearly impossible to acquire it. If you can find the tape on eBay, I guarantee that it will not play well. Even if your tape and VCR are pristine, it can't play well due to embedded flaws in the original master.

I have painstakingly digitized and redesigned the video for HD widescreen viewing. I was able to remove many flaws, but so many others remain.

There are so many reflexology videos on YouTube. Know that this one preceded 99.99% of them.

This is my first YouTube video uploaded for public consumption.

Ώτο - Ρεφλεξολογία και πνευμονογαστρικό νεύρο κανείς?

'Tickling' your ear could be good for your heart!

Stimulating nerves in your ear could improve the health of your heart, researchers have discovered. Scientists used a standard TENS machine like those designed to relieve labour pains to apply electrical pulses to the tragus, the small raised flap at the front of the ear immediately in front of the ear canal.

The technique works by stimulating a major nerve called the vagus, which has an important role in regulating vital organs such as the heart. There is a sensory branch of the vagus in the outer ear and, by sending electrical current down the nerves and into the brain, researchers were able to influence outflows from the brain that regulate the heart. Vagal nerve stimulation has previously been used to treat conditions including epilepsy.
Professor Deuchars said: "We now need to understand how big and how lasting the residual effect on the heart is and whether this can help patients with heart problems, probably alongside their usual treatments. The next stage will be to conduct a pre-clinical study in heart failure patients."

ACPIRT was established in 1992 by a group of physiotherapists led by Christine Jones (FCSP) and Ann Lett (RGN). The group was approved by the CSP in 1993.

Model Practice Act Public Comment Period – August 2014

from facebook...

Unbelievably the new proposed "Model Practice Act" would REQUIRE accreditation of all massage schools. THIS MUST BE PREVENTED! Accreditation is a preference or financial necessity for some schools. That's totally fine. But a vast number of superb schools in the U.S., such as my own, prefer to put all their energy into the highest quality of education, not into siphoning off their energy into fulfilling burdensome requirements of federal governmental agencies.

This is the worst proposal to come along in massage regulation in my entire 35 years in the profession.
