hey you two, having your own private healthswap?
Glad you are feeling better fluffy - and tbh, it could be something the chiropracter did as well. I shall share - today I worked on a friend of mine who had been to the osteo on saturday, on my recommendation. Friend reported back on what osteo said:
"friend is too tight in area around hiatus hernia, muscles absolutely solid, possibly affecting shoulders and back as well. Low back, despite friend not feeling pain, obviously in a state of pain. not sure how to continue as only achieving management of condition, not progressing"
So, me being me, I took a feel at friend's area around hiatus hernia (just below breastbone) and it was solid. Hurt a lot, just like having a knifeblade pushed in and I couldn't get between the ribs in one place.
So, went down to feet to try reflexology:
R foot - diaphragm reflex ok on outside but agony from middle to inside (matching pain on chest area). Solar plexus reflex a bit tender, nothing else.
L foot - diaphragm reflex not particularly painful except right on inside edge. BUT - solar plexus, whoo! Friend nearly jumped off table, felt like red hot poker going through her foot. (massive energy release from blocked point) Held it until the intensity went off and then re-checked R foot diaphragm reflex - MUCH less painful. Rechecked chest area - looser, could feel between ribs.
HURRAH! Friend in tears. Release was very emotional (solar plexus is big seat of emotions) - and as a result of this, her shoulders felt a lot looser as well. RESULT!
Never underestimate the power of bodywork.
