This problem is often asymptomatic but if feel pain between your shoulder blades, nausea, vomiting, bloating, indigestion and gas, it may help to relieve the pain by applying pressure on the gall bladder point. Always visit your doctor right away especially if you experience a steady severe pain in the upper abdomen that lasts for a considerable amount of time. There are some illnesses that will require that the practitioner works on the feet. And there are concerns too that will require for the person to work on the hands. If the practitioner starts working on the feet, then the person will be asked to lie down fully clothe and the shoes and socks removed. And on those same studies that were conducted by the surgeon, he found out that the placing of pressure on these zones will have an effect in relieving and in curing the pain. Now this has become the basis for the modern reflexology that is known right now, and during that time this was known as the 'Zone Therapy'. In a nutshell, the foot map would read like this: the toes would represent the head, the chest and heart represented by the soles of the feet, liver and pancreas in the arch of the feet and the lower back represented by the ball of the foot. For a more defined explanation on the feet, the tips of the toes represent the brain and the head. And what the therapist normally does in order to make that happen is to wash the feet and the hands first, and to apply firm pressure on the 'zones' on the feet and those hands. Now this is the most common thinking about a reflexology session. But for many, they are still clueless as to what happens at the end of the session. For example there is a set of patients that will tell of the feeling of lightness or that feeling of warmth every time they are under the therapy sessions. Or the more imaginative patients, they would often report that feeling of being open- as if there is energy movement. And that they can sense that the energy is flowing and moving from one of their organ to the next!
