Facial Reflexology Experiences

Case Studies

1. Today I was introduced to a man in a wheelchair and the first thing I noticed was how clenched and turned his right hand was. I asked him if he could open his clenched hand at all. He showed me in a most awkward way and he seemed to have to strain to do so. I then asked permission to touch the side of his face and worked on the right temple area which he loved, and whilst doing so we noticed his right hand was slowly softening and partially opening. I then worked the forehead arm zone. After only few minutes, his hand seemed even more open and when I asked him to open the fingers - amazingly, he was able to open the hand without having to move his shoulder up towards his ear and throw his arm out sideways as he had done the first couple of times. He himself noticed the ease of movement. I too couldn't believe the power of so little face work.

He was smiling and laughing. He had had meningitis as a young boy and has been in a chair since.

2. Male client last night - after the massage I asked him to let me practice on facial reflex. Stomach was biggest deposit; also balanced the stomach plexis. At end of treatment he said he found it very difficult to open his eyes; it was as if they just didn't want them to open. He is a sensitive to touch person anyway. He said he didn't know where he went but was aware of most vivid colours and dreams during treatment, which he loved. Eventually he went home after a couple of glasses of water.

3. Male client late today; quite severe oedema , especially in the left leg. Deepest deposit in chin/hormonal area (had prostate removed early last year from cancer and lymph nodes removed from groin). After full facial reflexology including additionals of balancing NP hormones, plexis, and points for circulation from Marie's book - very noticeable difference in swelling of legs and feet. Finished with lymphatic drainage on feet and even more difference in swelling of calves, skin colour and texture.
