There are many different versions of the reflexology chart. This one was designed by Christine Lynne Stormer-Fryer

Check it out and see how all areas of the body are mapped out and have a reflex point on the feet.

By stimulating a specific reflex point (with light/moderate tolerable pressure) you can relieve pain/tension/congestion in the corresponding area in the body.

🔈 RELATIONSHIP OF SCIATIC NERVE TO PIRIFORMIS

(A) The sciatic nerve usually emerges from the greater sciatic foramen inferior to the piriformis.
(B) In 12.2% of 640 limbs studied by Dr. J. C. B. Grant, the sciatic nerve divided before exiting the greater sciatic foramen; the common fibular division (yellow) passed through the piriformis.
(C) In 0.5% of cases, the common fibular division passed superior to the muscles where it is especially vulnerable to injury during intragluteal injections.

HEADACHE BEHIND THE EYE, CAUSES AND HOW TO GET RID OF IT

There can be many causes resulting in headache behind the eye which may range from cluster headaches to migraines to even cranial nerve palsies. Headache behind the eye is usually sharp, throbbing, or explosive pain behind the eye.

Some of the common causes of headache behind the eye are:

TENSION HEADACHE

This is perhaps one of the most common causes for headache behind the eye. An individual with tension headaches will have pain in band like fashion behind the eye and it is often associated with increased stress and extreme fatigue.

MIGRAINE DISORDER

This is also one of the most common causes for headache behind the eye. Pain caused due to a migraine is mostly unilateral and is intense and throbbing in character. The individual may have phonophobia and photophobia and would prefer to lie down in a dark quiet room and take a medication till the headache behind eye resolves.

CLUSTER HEADACHE

Cluster headache is a type of headache disorder which results in excruciating headache behind the eye. This type of headache is seen more in males and people who have a family history of cluster headaches. Such headaches may stay around for a while and may come and go in cycles causing headache behind the eye.

SINUSITIS

Inflammation of the sinuses is yet another cause for headache behind the eye. There are multiple sinus cavities around the eye region and thus inflammation in any one of these sinus cavities may result in headache behind the eye.

CRANIAL NERVE PALSY

There are multiple cranial nerves that emanate from the brain and provide vision to an individual. Whenever there is an inflammation of the cranial nerves providing vision or if there is injury to these muscles it results in cranial nerve palsy causing headache behind the eye. Additionally, the individual may have symptoms of double vision and drooping of eyelid. Diabetes is one of the most common causes of cranial nerve palsies causing headache behind the eye.

HOW TO GET RID OF HEADACHE BEHIND THE EYE?

REGULAR EXERCISE

Regular exercises boost the production of endorphins which is a natural pain reliever of the body and hence it is always recommended to exercises regularly so as to get rid of headache behind the eye.

SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN

This type of treatment is for those people who have cluster headaches as a cause of headache behind the eye. Supplemental oxygen is extremely effective in alleviating cluster headaches and helps in getting rid of headache behind the eye.

OTHER REMEDIES

Apart from the specific treatments mentioned above, there are other alternative treatments available like acupuncture, massage therapy, and chiropractic therapy which have been shown to be very effective in treating headache behind the eye.

Reflexology works on the principle that the feet are a reflection or mirror of the body; reflex points on the feet correspond to specific areas, structures and systems of the body. Your reflexologist will use pressure techniques and massage to stimulate these reflex points to bring about restoration...
