TAKING SOME TIME OUT TO RECHARGE.......
Since Christmas I've had a distinct lack of energy which has meant I've spent a lot of time resting on my sofa, thankfully I enjoy reading so I have read a LOT of books.
I've been working reduced hours, just 4 days a month since last May but I feel in order to recharge my own battery I need to look after myself for a bit - so I've decided to take 6 months off work to really rest and recuperate.
I absolutely love being a reflexologist and I will miss working on my client's feet and I feel so grateful for everyone's support - it means a lot to me.

I've closed my booking system for now but will review how I feel in October.

RESEARCH: REFLEXOLOGY & PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY

Summary: A study of 33 women with neuropathic nerve pain related to Type 2 Diabetes provided with reflexology as compared to 32 who received normal treatment, showed a significant statistical change in pain and sensory function as compared to the control.

Reference; Neşe A, Akarsu E, Küçükkaya MS. The Effect of Foot Reflexology Massage on Neuropathic Pain in Women With Type 2 Diabetes: A Randomized Controlled Trial. Pain Manag Nurs. 2025 Nov 27:S1524-9042(25)00320-0. doi: 10.1016/j.pmn.2025.11.002. Epub ahead of print. PMID: 41314919.
Abstract:
Background: Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is a significant cause of chronic pain in patients with type 2 diabetes. Although pharmacological treatments are available, complementary therapies such as reflexology massage may offer additional symptomatic relief. However, evidence on the efficacy of reflexology massage in this context remains limited, particularly among women with type 2 diabetes.
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of foot reflexology massage on neuropathic pain in women with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: This study was conducted between April 2023 and March 2024. The study was conducted as a randomized controlled trial and included 65 women diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and neuropathic pain, randomized into intervention (n = 33) and control groups (n = 32) using a computerized randomization program managed by an independent researcher. The intervention group received routine treatment plus foot reflexology massage administered by trained nurses, while the control group received routine treatment only. Outcomes were assessed using validated instruments for neuropathic pain and sensory function: Douleur Neuropathique 4 Questions (DN4), a 10-item questionnaire identifying neuropathic pain; Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs (LANSS), differentiating neuropathic from nociceptive pain; Visual Analog Scale (VAS), measuring pain intensity on a 0-10 scale; Monofilament test (SWM), evaluating peripheral touch sensation; and Neurothesiometer, assessing vibration perception thresholds. Effect sizes (Cohen's d) and 95% confidence intervals were calculated.
Results: Preintervention measurement characteristics and pain scores did not differ significantly between groups (p > .05). Postintervention, the intervention group demonstrated significant reductions in DNQ4 (p = .001, d = 3.55), LANSS (p = .001, d = 2.34), and VAS scores (p = .001, d = 2.26) compared to the control group. No adverse events related to the intervention were reported.
Conclusion: Foot reflexology massage administered by trained nurses effectively reduces neuropathic pain in women with type 2 diabetes. As a low-cost and accessible therapy, it can serve as a valuable adjunct to routine care and is recommended to be incorporated and maintained in nursing practices for the management of neuropathic pain in individuals with diabetes.
