2 different feet

[errant Terran ranter]

Hi all,

I am writing up a new case study at the moment and would like a few opinion regarding this one. His 2 feet are almost like feet from two different people. Briefly he is 39yr old male. Stressful job, healthy, balanced diet. Ploycystic Kidney Disorder, fatigued easily, drinks approx 1.5l water perday.

right foot: extremely dry all over. Skin on bladder reflex area peeling, nails white vertical ridges and disfigured. He also has areas of red/brown dots I persume to be a fungal infection. Thyroid/parathyroid area hard and shiny.
this entire foot is unhealthy in appearance. The left foot is practically perfect. No blemishes, good codition nails, well nourished skin etc. Why is one foot so bad? What does this indicated? I have suggested he increases his water in take and essential fatty acids for the dryness. Is this connected to the PKD? How do I make this connection? Any suggestion are gratefully accepted as I am new to this.

Hope this of help,yes very dry feet can indicate lack of water or essential fatty acids,but could also indicate a thyroid disorder.Vertical ridges could be problems with food absorption or could also be from shock or trauma.The bladder again could be related to lack of water or water metabolism.Does your case study have problems with blood pressure??I hope you get other replies as this is interesting case study.

Thanks for that. So I could possibly connect the hard and shiny thyroid/parathyroid areas as having a blockage of energies causing the dryness of the skin. BNut why only in one foot. The other foot is fine. I am not sure about his blood pressure but I will ask. I can take it the next time to start monitoring it and I will advise him to notify his doctor he is recieving reflexology. I don't think the nails are form trauma or shock and feel they are connected to the dryness of skin, the fungal type infecteion and possibly a compromised immune system. I didn't pick up anything in the digestive system though I will look at it next time. thanks again.

From a foot reading perspective his left foot represents his internal life (yin) and his right one is about his external life (yang).

It's interesting that you have said he has a stressful job - (right foot stuff) and that he has a healthy diet/drinking plenty of water and is nurturing himself by having reflexology (left foot stuff) this appears to be reflected on his feet very well !

Maybe he's a sensitive/well adjusted soul wrestling with an unsuitable profession or job or he is struggling with responsibilities that he is tired of having.

Wow1 think you are very close there. He is in a job he is finding too loaded with responsibilty at the moment. His boss has left the work load of running the company with him and he is currently trying to fill a double role. I was chatting to him earlier and he mentioned he is thinking about having it out with the boss as he really want to go back to his previous position or he is looking for a new job. So there is conflict there. I have just ordered a few books on reading the feet as I think it is facinating. How did you learn it?
incidently he had blood pressure taken by the doc today. 137 over 70.

With reference to the blood pressure,this would tie in with the kidney cysts,even though PKD can causes hypertension,this is very interesting,I also find reading the feet very interesting.

Foot Reading is great ! I learned it as part of my reflexology diploma and it never ceases to amaze me how accurate it can be.

We have just touched on the subject so far. Can you recommend any good books. I have ordered The language of Feet-Chris Stomer.

 

[?AquaStar?]

There is enough stuff in the Chris Stormer book to last you a lifetime it's packed with info.

I used it for one of my case studies as I had a client who was the epitome of good health but made an excellent case study because he wanted to see if reflexology could help him overcome chronic nerves as he had a promotion board coming up and had crashed and burned twice before at the same board in the previous year because he clammed up.

Without any conditions or ailments (apart from nerves) to write about I took the risk of turning to foot reading as the basis for the case study and used the Chris Stormer book along with Foot Reading by Renee Tanner. It was a facinating exercise and I was amazed how accurate the foot reading was.

After 5 treatments he aced the interview which made a great end to the case study and a great leap for his career so we were both happy !

I would recommend doing a course if you can find one as there is no substitute for practical experience - however you will always think twice about showing your feet to a fellow reflexologist afterwards.

enjoy

I used 'Language of the Feet' by Chris Stormer and also 'Analyzing Personality Patterns Through The Feet' by Mauricio Kruchik which is a very good book, but very difficult to find.

Good luck with your case study, sounds interesting!

Thanks for that. I got a copy of 'The Language of the Feet' and I am glued to it. I am finding it really interesting and can incorporate so much into my case study. This one is interesting alright
