When I was a kid, my mates dad used to coach our football team. I particularly remember one time when my foot was sore and he gave me a foot massage at the side of the pitch. When I got back up it felt as if all of the bones in my foot had been separated and it was like walking on a cushion. Sadly it was only one foot ! Ever since then I have meant to get me a proper foot massage but 'massage parlours' around here are not particularly geared for rubbing that sort of foot ! (
)
many years later I was on a flight in the US from Philly to Newport News and I had a storming headache. A woman in the next seat heard me ask the flight attendant for some asprin but she said she couldn't give me any. The woman next to me asked if I'd mind her curing it for me. Who was I to argue ? Anyway she pinched the skin between my thumb and forefinger on my right hand and my headache disappeared almost instantaneously. She explained that it was Reflexology and was most effective when practiced on the feet.
So, is Reflexology just a respectable name for a foot massage and is it nice to have ?
