Because reflexology is intended to normalize the body functions, the therapy
does not cause a condition to worsen. Most patients find that
pain diminishes over the course of the therapy. It has been noted,
however, that some patients experience greater discomfort in the
second session than in the first session, because a significant
easing of pain and tension is generally associated with the initial
therapy session. As a result, when pressure is reapplied to the
tender points of the foot during the second session, the sensitivity
has been heightened. This increase in sensitivity may cause minor
additional discomfort for the patient. |
