Thanks, Leonie, for your thoughts regarding hand and foot
reflexology for my patient with the amputated left great toe and
first metatarsal. Like you, I believe both will be of great benefit
to him.

However, since I have very little real experience with hand
reflexology (other than on myself and some of my friends whom I've
helped get rid of headaches), and many of you in this group have
been doing this for quite some time, I'm in need of some sound
application methods that are more effective than my best guesses.

My instinct leads me to believe there are much better methods of
applying reflexology to the hands than what I'm using. Essentially,
I've been applying the method I've used for foot reflexology and
adapting it to the hands. I don't think what I'm doing is wrong,
per se, but since the hands are more compacted and in many cases
very tight through the palm and meaty section below the thumb, I
need confirmation as to whether or not I'm doing this correctly and
effectively.

So, if any of you have knowledge regarding hand reflexology
techniques or know of other sites and books that would give me a
better understanding of the techniques used in applying reflexology
to the hands, I'd really appreciate your input.

Thanks,

Jim
