DIAPHRAGM REFLEX AREA

Flex the foot back with one hand to create skin tension. Use the thumb of your
other hand to work under the metatarsal heads, across from tthe lateral aspect to
the medial aspect of the foot. Use slow steps abd repeat this movement eight
times.

ESOPHAGUS REFLEX AREA

Flex the foot with one hand to create skin tension. Place the thumb of your other
hand at the diaphragm line in between zones one and two. Work up in between
the metatarsals from the diaphragm line to the eye/ear general area. Continue in
this manner six times.

PANCREAS REFLEX POINT

This reflex point is only found on the right foot. Place your thumb on the third toe
and trace a line down to below the diaphragm line. Push up into joint and make
small circles for ten seconds. Working this point can help to neutralize the
adverse affects of stomach acid.

STOMACH REFLEX AREA

You will find this reflex area just under the ball of the foot with one hand, and
place your other thumb just below the thyroid reflex area. Gently work up
laterally to the solar plexus reflex, stopping there to stimulate it with circles for
four seconds. Repeat this movement eight times, using slow circles as you walk.
LUNG REFLEX AREA
Flex the foot back with one hand to create skin tension. Use the thumb of your
other hand to work up from the diaphragm line to the eye/ear general area. You
should be working in between the metatarsals. Repeat this process five times,
making sure that you have worked in between all the metatarsals.

THORACIC VERTEBRAE REFLEX AREA

Support the foot and take 12 steps from the base of the joint of the toe to work
the thoracic vertebrae. You should end upon a bone called navicular, which feels
like a knuckle and is halfway between the bladder point and the ankle. Each step
represents a specific vertebra and should be slow, with light to medium pressure.
Repeat the movement three times to access spinal nerve roots.

Hiautus hernia
This is an abnominal protrusion of part of the stomach, which passes up through
the wall of the diaphragm and causes pain and discomfort. The diaphragm is the
muscular sheet that separates the lungs and ches from the abnomen. Hiatus
hernia affects us more as we get older. Doctors are not sure what causes it, but
people are more likely to get it if they are aged over 50., smokers, overweight, or
pregnant. A hiatus hernia often causes no symptoms, but may cause pain and
heartburn (a feeling of warmth or burning in the chest). It is usually a serious
conditions and often needs to treatment. Any symptoms can usually be treated
with drugs or (if severe) an operation. It is advisable to eat small, frequent meals.

REFLEX AREAS/POINTS TO WORK

 Diaphragm
 Hiatus hernia
 Stomach
 Pituitary
 Adrenals
 Thoracic vertebrae

DIAPHRAGM REFLEX AREA

Flex the foot back with one hand to create skin tension. Use the thumb of your
other hand to work under the metatarsal heads, across from tthe lateral aspect to
the medial aspect of the foot. Use slow steps abd repeat this movement eight
times.

HIATUS HERNIA REFLEX POINT

Flex the foot back with one hand, and place the thumb of your other hand on the
hiatus hernia point, which you can find along the diaphragm line and in between
zones one and two. Stay on this point, making circles for 12 seconds.

STOMACH REFLEX AREA

You will find this reflex area just under the ball of the foot. Support with one
hand, and place your other thumb just below the thyroid reflex area. Gently work
up laterally to the solar plexus reflex, stopping there to stimulate it with circles for
four seconds. Repeat this movement eight times.

PITUITARY REFLEX POINT

Support the big toe with the fingers of one hand ,and use your other thumb to
make a cross, to find the center of the big toe. Place your thumb into the center,
push in and make circles for 15 seconds.

ADRENAL REFLEX POINTS

You can find adrenal reflexes in zone one, three steps down from the ball of the foot. Place
your two thumbs together and gently push into the adrenal reflexes, making small circles. Work
in this manner for 15 seconds.
THORACIC VERTEBRAE REFLEX AREA
Support the foot and take 12 steps from the base of the joint of the toe to work
the thoracic vertebrae. You should end upon a bone called navicular, which feels
like a knuckle and is halfway between the bladder point and the ankle. Each step
represents a specific vertebra and should be slow, with light to medium pressure.
Repeat the movement three times.

Osteoporosis
This condition causes the bones to weaken, making broken bones more likely.
Osteoporosis is sometimes called the “silent diseases” because most people who
are affected are unaware that their bones are thinning until they break one.
Bones affected by osteoporosis are less dense than normal and are porous. The
bones that are more at risk are the ribs, wrist, spine, and hips, which are more
likely to break as a result of minor bump or fall, or even without injury (for
example, a sneeze may break a rib). You are more likely to get osteoporosis if you
are aged over 60 years, and the risk continues to rise as you get older.
This condition is around four times more common in women than in men
and is most common in women who have been through menopause, because
their production of estrogen falls dramatically (and estrogen helps retain calcium
in the bones). Long-term immobility, anorexia, inflammatory bowel disease, and a
family history can all increase the risk of developing osteoporosis.

REFLEX AREA/POINTS TO WORK

 Thyroid
 Pituitary
 Parathyroid
 Kidneys/adrenals
 Hip
 Entire spine
Bone mineral density can be reduced to 35 percent in osteoporosis which may
result in fractures as you get older.

THYROID REFLEX AREA

Use the thumb of your other hand to work the ball of the foot, from the
diaphragm line all the way up to the neckline. Repeat this movement slowly four
times over the area forone minute. This reflex area helps to control the levels of
calcium in the blood.

PITUITARY REFLEX POINT

Support the big toe with the fingers of one hand ,and use your other thumb to
make a cross, to find the center of the big toe. Place your thumb into the center,
push in and make circles for 15 seconds.

PARATHYROID REFLEX POINT

You can find this point in between the big toe and the second toe. Use your index
finger and thumb to pinch the section of skin between the first and second toes.
Hold the pressure and gently make circles for 15 seconds. This reflex point helps
to control the levels of calcium in the blood, which can regulate muscle and nerve
functioin density and nerve function as well as easing with disorders relating to
the parathyroid glands.

KIDNEY/ADRENAL REFLEX POINTS

You can find adrenal reflexes in zone one, three steps down from the ball of the foot. Place
your two thumbs together and gently push into the kidney/adrenal reflexes, making small
circles. Work in this manner for 15 seconds.
HIP REFLEX POINT
Place your thumb approximately two steps down from the ankle bone and take
one step toward the fifth toe. Push in make very big circles to help stimulate the
hip reflex point. Work this point gently for 15 seconds.

ENTIRE SPINE
Work on the medial aspect of the foot. Support the foot with one hand, and use
your other thumb to make seven small steps in between the joints of the big toe,
remembering that each step represents a specific vertebra. Walk toward the foot.
Then take 12 gentle steps from the base of the joint of the big toe to work the
thoracic vertebrae. You should end up on a bone called navicular, which feels like
a knuckle and is halfway in between the bladder point and the ankle. Walk around
the navicular bone, which represents lumbar one, taking five steps up to the dip
in front of the ankle bone, which represents lumbar five. Repeat this movement
three times.

Carpal tunnel syndrome

This sydrome can affect one or both hands. It is fairly common condition that
occurs when there is too much pressure on a nerve in the wrist. The median
nerve carries sensory messages from the thumb and some fingers, and also
conducts movement of the hand. Sometimes carpal tunnel syndrome can be
triggered by your job, but it may be prevented by stopping or reducing the activity
that stresses your fingers, hand, or wrist, or by changing the way in which
activities are done. It tends to be worse by strenuous wrist movements.
 REFLEX AREA/POINTS TO WORK
 Shoulders
 Wrist
 Elbow
 Thyroid
 Kidneys/adrenals
 Cervical vertebrae
 Thoracic vertebrae

SHOULDER REFLEX POINT

you will find this reflex on the dorsal aspect of the foot, in between the fourth and
fifth metatarsals. The simplest way to find it is to place your index finger and
thumb at the base of the fourth and fifth toes. Slowly rock down for four steps,
following the edge of the foot in a pinching movement. When you hit this
sensitive reflex, stop and push in, gently making small circles for 15 seconds.

WRIST REFLEX POINT

Use your thumb to walk one step down the lateral aspect of the foot from the
fifth toe. Push in to rock the wrist reflex point, making circles for 15 seconds.

ELBOW REFLEX POINT

Use your thumb to take one large step from the wrist reflex point to the elbow
reflex point. Push in to work this point, making circles for 15 seconds.

THYROID REFLEX AREA

Use one hand to pull the toes back, so that you will be able to find any crystals
more easily. Use the thumb of your other hand to work the ball of the foot, from
the diaphragm line all the way up to the neckline. Repeat this movement slowly
four times over the area, dispersing crystals as you find them.
KIDNEY/ADRENAL REFLEX POINTS
You can find adrenal reflexes in zone one, three steps down from the ball of the foot. Place
your two thumbs together and gently push into the kidney/adrenal reflexes, making small
circles. Work in this manner for 15 seconds.

CERVICAL VERTEBRAE REFLEX AREA

This reflex area lies on the medial aspect of the big toe and in between the joints
(but you do not work on the joints because of many different factors that could
affect them). Support the big toe with one hand. Use the thumb of the other hand
to make seven small steps, remembering that each step represents a specific
vertebra. Walk toward the foot. Repeat the movement five times.

THORACIC VERTEBRAE REFLEX AREA

Support the foot and take 12 steps from the base of the joint of the toe to work
the thoracic vertebrae. You should end upon a bone called navicular, which feels
like a knuckle and is halfway between the bladder point and the ankle. Each step
represents a specific vertebra and should be slow, with light to medium pressure.
Repeat the movement three times to access spinal nerve roots.
