Living la Vida Lupus

Hey ya’ll,

It’s been a while…longer than I realized. Well, I moved into my new home last month…been busy, end of excuses.

Okay, now I have to share my Reflexology experience with you. Susie Kruse, CRP, RN, Certified Reflexology Practitioner and a member of my “Zumba in the Circuit” class at the Curve’s Club on Louetta was offering 10 minute intro sessions yesterday. Of course being an advocate for alternative treatments I had to give it a try.

You’re not familiar with Reflexology? Well, Susie’s brochure tells us that Reflexology is an ancient science and healing technique based on the theory that the 7200+ reflex endings in our hands and feet directly correspond to all our organs, glands, and body parts. By stimulating these reflexes with thumb and finger pressure, any physical and neurological blockages may be cleared, thus helping to restore health and equilibrium to the corresponding body part.

“How cool is that?”

It is amazing that someone touching your feet can affect your entire body. Really, 10 minutes was equivalent to a full body massage, and less expensive.

After my session yesterday I drank lots of water and soaked in an Epsom Salt bath as recommended. I taught two “Zumba in the Circuit” classes prior to my session so after my soak in the tub I had a short nap, zzzzzzzz. This morning I feel great.

I visit my chiropractor regularly and utilize massage therapy, including lymphatic drainage massage to aid in my health challenges. Reflexology is definitely being added to my arsenal.
