| As I was writing the last blog entry I received and email from one of the reflexologists who attended the course yesterday in Cardiff. This seems to re-enforce the idea of adapting RLD and using it to help relieve swelling in different areas of the body. She wrote... |  |
I have had an interesting experience. My left leg usually carries a lot of fluid from a previous ankle injury and a knee operation last June. Since this I have had a pocket of fluid under the knee on the shin and into the calf. Also my left ankle or cankle as they are now described!!! was very puffy on the medial ankle. On getting up this morning my left leg appears to have lost some fluid and appears to me to have reduced in size and looks much more like the size of my right leg. My leg in general feels much lighter and flexible. I know the focus of the treatment was the upper body but perhaps the treatment yesterday in moving the upper body lymph has encouraged the rest of the body to move also. I have had general reflexology before to try and make some impact on my leg but have not had such a significant result previously. It is definitely worth adapting the routine to encourage lymph drainage for other body parts.
