Tips for foot sensitization - Reflexoterapia Podal

The heating can be done with thermal "boots". (10 'before the session).
* The therapist may have several pairs of socks and ask the patient to view one before warming up and the sensitizing massage session. (As the nerve terminals can be stimulated by: pain, tact, heat, cold and pressure, the covering used on the foot does not prevent the good treatment result).
* The severity of the problem will be directly related to sensitivity. (The greater the sensitivity, the greater the degree of impairment of the reflex area)
Obs. The chronic state of an organ will present corresponding points insensitive to pain.
* For sensitization of the nerve endings of the feet there are different ways: some prefer to work starting at the toes and ending at the heels. We suggest that systems work, all of them and, after the interpretation does not present contraindications, return to the points of greater sensitivity.
* Time for a podal awareness session: 30 '
* Frequency: 2 to 3 times a week.
* Take care not to alarm the patient. (Upon perceiving an area with greater sensitivity say that he found "weakness" in the region). If convenient, refer the patient to the doctor.
* Wood instruments or other material can be used to sensitize points. (Especially when it comes to 'hard' foot area, such as the heel)
* The uric acid crystals that can be found in areas of greater sensitivity are a consequence (circulatory delay that allows for precipitation) and not the cause of problems, but may alter the sensitivity. Therefore a good preheating is indispensable.
