Reflexologist are detectives

Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of Wednesday's reflexology wisdom. Um I have had a request uh and I thought I would respond to this. This is from a very nice lady called Susanna and she has asked how do we explain to a client what we have found particularly if there are organs that overlap each other because this can be quite a tricky one. Um so what I'm going to do is I'm going to just pop my foot chart up now. And so what we have here is my uh little foot chart that I I like to use. I think probably one of the best examples is going to be if we were to uh for example have the kidney as uh the organ that we have just had a reaction on. Now you can see here that we have got the transverse colon um in the same place as part of the kidney. We've also got the spleen in the same place as part of the kidney and also there will be some of the small intestine as part of the kidney area as well. So in reality what we have to do is to start playing detective and we hopefully we've done a consultation before we've started uh working on our client's foot and there may be something in that consultation that suddenly um makes us think ah yes okay I I know what the connection here is and so we can talk about that. But what I would actually explain to my client is that I have found this reaction where it is. And I would then say now what we do have is because we've got a two-dimensional foot map. Oh, and by the way, very often I will have the the foot map up to the side of where my client is so that I can see it, my client can see it, they can see where I'm working. Um, and I'll show them the diagram. I'll say this is where I found the reaction. And we've got a multiple array of different organs of the body here. So, we've got the kidney, we've got the transverse colon, we've got the uh um what will be pancreas, and we've got the small intestine. And I'll then put it over to the client. I would then say does that mean anything to you? Now hopefully what will happen is is the client will then go ah do you know what I forgot to tell you at the consultation but I've got it could be say stage three or four um kidney disease something like that um and then we know there's a a good chance that it's a kidney reaction rather than a transverse colon reaction. It could be though that the client goes, "Do you know what? I do get an awful lot of constipation every now and again. And so we know that it's the large intestine instead." So you kind of get where I'm coming from. We need to be playing detective. What I would never do though is to say, "Oh, this is your kidney or this is your colon." I would always carry on by saying well the point that I have found is does that mean anything to you? Important bit about that is that means that we are then not diagnosing something and of course as we know we are not allowed uh to do that at all. So I hope that this actually adds an element of fun into how you feed back to your client. I hope that in fact you've probably all experienced this before anyway. Uh where a client has gone, "Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you I'd got this that or the other." Um but if this has been useful, then that is absolutely fabulous. So I hope I've answered the question. Okay. And guys, if if you also have questions that you're wanting um answers to, um or if there's something that I've said on one of the previous videos that you're just wanting clarification on, do pop a comment on the uh YouTube video comments bit. It's down down underneath the the bit that you're watching just at the moment and I might just make a video about it. So until then, stay well, stay safe, and look after yourselves.
