Reflexology Research in Europe

2/6/2014

1 Comment

 
Last month I was honoured to be invited to speak about RLD at two reflexology conferences. The first, Reflexology in Europe RiEN, was held on the beautiful island of Madeira, and the second, was The Clinical Reflexology in Palliative care conference at The Christie Hospital.  It was exciting to be able to share some interim data from the research. So far so good! 
We have entered the final stages of the study, 20 of the participants have finished, a further 7 are currently receiving RLD treatments and we still have space for a further 3. There's still time, if you know anyone with secondary lymphoedema of the arm, as result of treatment for breast cancer, living near Cardiff, to take part.

While in Madeira, one of the delegates had a some lymphoedema,  which was exacerbated by the flight and heat. Swelling was evident, (without measuring) particularly in the hand,  as seen above. After 40 minute RLD, visible changes can be seen here, particularly to the appearance of the skin.

    Reflexology Lymph Drainage

    RLD is a reflexology technique which stimulates specific lymphatic reflexes on the feet. Developed from first principles & researched by Sally Kay to help with the management of secondary lymphoedema in patients affected by treatment for breast cancer.  Further research into RLD is ongoing and training is available for reflexology practitioners.
