Re: Foot surgery and reflexology
In reflexology theory anything in the same zone
can effect another part of the zone. I can't give you any research to back this
up.... but the theory seems to hold up over the thirty odd years I have done
reflexology.
...I didn't make the connections until years later while doing reflexology. The toe had actually been compressed into what we consider the shoulder area.
Your operation is in the region of the upper back and shoulder region.
...There are years of research and study ahead of us but I think after awhile mysteries like you described will become clearer.

Hello,
I am curious about a recent experience and wonder if you have any thoughts
in response.
On February 7th, I underwent foot surgery on my left foot. The surgery
involved a lapidus procedure and the correction of three claw toes, the 2nd
- 4th toes. The latter procedure included the removal of a joint within
each of the three toes and the stretching of related tendons.
As of this date, March 12th, the foot is progressing as anticipated. It is
expected that the three pins in the 2 - 4 toes will be removed when six
weeks have passed.
Following the surgery, I noticed an odd thing: My left jaw was constricted,
i.e., when I tried to open my mouth wide enough to bite into a thick
sandwich, for example, I could not do so. This condition has persisted. I
am not bothered except when I eat.
I know very little about reflexology, but I could not help wondering if
surgery of the type I have had might affect another part of the body, such
as the jaw.
If you have any knowledge regarding my question and would care to respond, I
would appreciate it.
Thank you very much.

P.S. It might be helpful for you to know that I did not have a general
anaesthetic and did not have a tube down my throat, so that possible
explanation for a constricted jaw would not pertain.

In reflexology theory anything in the same zone can effect another part of the zone. I can't give you any research to back this up. (It's coming.) but the theory seems to hold up over the thirty odd years I have done reflexology.
An example is when I was 16 I severely broke a toe in a Judo accident. In my early twenties I developed severe bursitis. I didn't make the connections until years later while doing reflexology. The toe had actually been compressed into what we consider the shoulder area.
Your operation is in the region of the upper back and shoulder region. That can effect everything in that zone including the jaw.
There are years of research and study ahead of us but I think after awhile mysteries like you described will become clearer. Hope that helps. Thank you for your query.
All the best,
