A good general treatment is best but you should treat gently and for a shorter time to begin and gradually increasing to a full treatment over time. Someone with MS would be unable to cope well with a worstening of their symptoms however temporary. Clients with this condition can be very debilitated and you would not want to make them feel worse!

Do you belong to the AOR? They have guidelines for treating clients with MS and lots of other conditions. If not, try the association you belong to, or your tutor who should be able to advise you.

are you spreading your questions out for us weepea so we don't notice how many there are?!!

treacle, im doin assignments at the minute and i dont have much information for them and i was lookin help but no one seems to want to. so if ur not helpin me dont reply to my posts ok. im sure u needed help when u were trainin.

I'm still training - reflexology, but I tend to look up the answers myself. Personally I think you learn better this way. If you are doing your course through a college they have a good variety of books to help. I'm in the middle of my 40 case studies and it seems to be taking forever so I do know what you are talking about!
HP members will help but it's nice when people socialise on here too rather than just ask, ask, ask.

oh so u tink i jus plant the questions on here n expect u to tell me the answers? well thats not wat i do. ive been wreckin my head all do lookin for the answers and i came on here cos i was desperate. the books i have dont help, they dont go into the finer details that im lookin for. and i tink this post im in is for reflexology only so i dont c y we socialise in here.

im a person who panics when i cant get the answers and a worrier. i always wanna do my best and when i get stressed it annoys me. i jus wanna pass this course but thanks anyway ill look sumwhere else for help

By socialising - even just a simple HI/Hello would be nice. Stop getting stroppy. Surely if your book doesn't include things that you have to answer then the book is too basic. That's why I mentioned the library - thought that was actually a helpful suggestion but obviously you don't!

Anyway, I'm off to bed now so I can do some revising before I go to work tomorrow.....

Hi Weepee,

Lots of folks on here will help you, its just it's better for you in the long run if you find the answers yourself !! You'll end up retaining the information because you've done the work .... rather than copy what someone else has told you !!

So that said ..... the best place to start is go off, and google M.S. Find out about the condition, how if affects the body, possible/probable causes if any etc. Once you've done that and have an understanding of the condition you'll be able to relate this to your A&P knowledge !! This in turn will help you to see which areas on the feet you should work.

Do a little hun and come back with what you've found and we'll all help to add to it if needed !! But i'm pretty sure you'll have figured it out yourself !!

Let us know how you get on.

Weepea,

Can I suggest you do a google on your question, or ask your tutor if you are stuck, the tutors are there to help you (that is their job!). There is so much more to reflex than just passing your exam. When you start treating clients you come across lots of different things which you will want to look up to get an understanding for yourself as a therapist and to give the best treatments to your clients.

HP is a lovely, friendly place. I have to agree with Treacle here and say that if you say "hi, I am new here" etc. etc. you will get to know other members and they you.

I wish you well in your studies.


Love & blessings,

Rachel

Hi
I agree with both here. I have a client tomorrow with MS and also has attempted IVF on two ocassions and unfortunately unsuccessful. I am reading the books I have to find out the best way to treat, plus doing searches on the internet. But on the otherhand it is also nice to get feedback from other people who have worked with MS and IVF clients/patients to see if they have had successful treatments and to gain knowledge. So yes we can of course ask on here and say hi and make it friendly and also read and do research ourselves and pass on the knowledge we have to people who are new to reflexology and may find it daunting - like i still do sometimes and feel a little out of my depth!

Reflexology is a learning curve constantly - there are new medicines we come across and new illnesses we have not come across before. Read, read, read is the best thing to do.

Best wishes everyone........

Hi chaps

I will try to help, I have MS and have been having reflexology for a long time, I am also studying reflexology.

My reflexologist works the brain ( nervous system) spine, all the spinal nerves, solar plexus for relaxation, adreanals for stress relief, she also works any appropriate reflexes parts of the body affected by a relapse. I also believe that my MS is affected by hormone levels so she works the endocrine system particularly the pituitary, hypothalamus and pineal gland.

I find reflexology really helps with my MS and with my general well being particularly sleeping and energy levels.

Hope this helps.

love Scrivo
