So we're going to start on this outer lateral aspect of the foot. They sciatic nerve reflex
will come down here. I'm just going to show you drawing the whole line first. Pass through
here, it'll continue on, on the heel of the foot. And then it'll actually wrap around
from the heel of the foot. It'll actually then course up and then all the way back up
here. So you can see it's actually, the reflexes are going all the way around and then back
up again.
Someone experiencing pain will actually often experience a shooting down pain down the outer
leg. Sometimes even in the inner leg. So you're going to want to use them walking. With them
walking you're just using this joint going down and back up a little bit. You're going
to go in with constant pressure. Just lift up a little bit and then back in again when
you're doing the thumb walking.
So we'll start here and we're going to do it in one sweep. And we'll want to do that
with both feet. So start here and you're just going to thumb walk the sciatic nerve reflex.
It can be very intense if somebody either has a problem in that area or even someone
that has tightness in their hips.
So you can see now we're coming down here. We're about to wrap around to the heel. So
you go through the heel reflex. You're going to pass through now on the inner side. And
from the inner side you can use finger walking. And I'll show you on the other foot too so
you can see it from that angle. But I'm just continuing and finishing up there.
Now we'll do it on the other foot. So on this side we'll be here. So you could actually
start this way too. Either side, it doesn't matter. You come down through here. It could
be really tender so check in with your person. And if there is an area of tension just kind
of lighten up your pressure. You could even stop there for a moment and just hold and
then move on.
And I always like to, especially when doing a protocol for a certain area of the body,
while we just did the sciatic nerve reflex, I'll also want to give attention to the lymphatic
groin or Fallopian tube reflex for her across here using finger walking techniques. Do one
at a time or both at a time. Sometimes it's a little bit easier if you come from the medial
aspect inside and then come out. I'm using my middle finger here. And of course supporting
the foot with my other hand and my thumb.
I'll always give a little extra attention to the lower back and here on both sides.
And then I'll end with a little bit of angle traction. When ending any protocol it's nice
to end with that solar plexus hold. That's coming up through here right below the ball
of the foot, about midway through, your thumbs press in. Right. Center there, and then you
just lean forward a bit. And that'll be your protocol for relief for sciatica using reflexology.
