I took Reflexology Courses in Massage School, though I’m not a Reflexologist. I use what I learned in massage sessions. The hands actually can be used during Reflexology sessions, though using the feet is most common.
There are printable charts on https://www.natural-holistic-health....xology-charts/ I’m not sure how large they are because I’m on my phone. Lee Holden had Qi Healing Kit that included pressure pointing. I used this with great success during the acute phase of my neck and shoulder issue. I wrote about it on my blog. http://livehealthywithlannette.blogs...escue.html?m=1 FYI, There are now affiliate links in that post. His pressure pointing is quite different because he has you pressure point your arms. I mentioned a DVD in that post that I thought might be similar but I don’t know if there’s pressure pointing in it.

I am not a reflexologist, but have used what I learned in books and online and used on my DH's feet for both knee and shoulder pain. I did it nightly for about a week and he didn't need more.
Recently experiencing shoulder issues myself and found/heard about this point. http://gueringreen.com/neck-pain-an-...or-stiff-neck/ I find it easier to use hand for myself and feet for DH. |

while you're locating a practitioner, massage your big toes and thumbs, and the "necks" of both. those 4 body parts correspond with your head and neck. below your baby toe underneath your foot is the spot for shoulders.
I have 2 reflexology DVDs* and a book by Michael Gach, which I found in the library and eventually bought my own copy: https://www.amazon.com/Acupressures-.../dp/0553349708 also, work on aligning your neck and spine to be straight. your head weighs 12# and if you are off by 1 millimeter, the pressure on your vertebrae is 60# (5x the weight). texting while tilting your head will do this. youtube has a lot of videos too on how to do your own reflexology. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dLuLnjIxiY *Reflexology DVDs that I own: https://www.amazon.com/Prevent-Stres...ies-tv&sr=1-10 Ann Gillanders https://www.amazon.com/Reflexology-M...ies-tv&sr=1-18

I don’t know about it relaxing muscles but I do know it feels 100% better than a regular foot massage. I believe in acupuncture also. Chinese know those body meridians and they are exact about it. If all else fails, get a gift certificate to have a session. You’ll wake up stuff you didn’t know was sleep. A good Chinese massage is also different than American style.
