MS and reflexology


I have worked with several MS people with good results.

Hi

You've given great advice in the past for treating some people - I now want to provide reflexology for a friend who has MS. What advice for that ? Is it OK or is it contraindicated ? what's the best reflex points to cover ?

Thanks

Julie

I have worked on several MS people with good results. I think it is okay. 

I would really focus on the spinal areas and the eye/ear area. I particularly like to spend time on the sacrum/coccyx area. 

You might ask if they ever have had a fall where it is difficult to get back up again. 

Also a scientific group in UK recommends reflexology for MS. I use Google with this search term - reflexology +ms

Hope this helps. Thank you for you query. 

All the best,
