Hello I’ve had 4 treatments of myofascial release for my neuropathy in both feet. It has helped the pain in my right leg and hip BUT not my feet. Having a reflexology session today to see if that helps.

@geronimo1, Good evening. Just to check it out, I talked with my MFR therapist today about your feet not responding to MFR. She had a few suggestions.

1. You may have layers of fascia in your feet and it will take time to remove all of the restrictions and get everything fluid and moving again. Ask your therapist. 2. Make sure that the therapist is an Expert level and John Barnes trained. 3. She situates herself at the end of the table and places my feet on her shoulders while moving the fascia. 4. There is a foot massager that you place your feet on while sitting at a desk that I use and she finds very helpful. 5. Legs up the wall is a gentle yoga posture that helps move the fluid materials back down your leg with all of the valves open. 6. Once you have feeling in your feet again, the MFR therapist should give them some attention every week to keep the restrictions from coming back.

And from my yoga, mindfulness leader........ Take a meditation walk on grass or along a trail. Walk slowly and say to yourself Touch, Touch, Touch with every step. It is important to connect with the earth.

I hope some of these suggestions are helpful. It is only because of MFR that I am able to continue driving. It also helps your balance if you can feel your feet to the ground.

Have comfort and feel at ease today. Chris
