Reflexology Treatments

I have been going to Miguel Gallegos- a Certified Reflexologist for some time now. I learned about him from my sister Lorraine. I went because I have on-going back problems and Arthritis. I also have High Blood Pressure too. One day it went out of control and I wound up at the ER and they did the works on me- testing out what caused it. I had to have my meds increased. They sent the information back to my doctor and I was to see him the next week. He did a followup and said- among other things that I had a blockage and needed to be checked out with the Heart Specialists.
Before I went there I thought I should have a treatment with Miguel and told him about the blockage. He found it and worked it out. It was the size of a pea.
Then I went to my appointment with the Heart Doctor. There I had a Sonogram, 2 MRI's, and a treadmill test. They all came back OK- no blockage. Kind of surprised the Doctor. I didn't tell the Heart Doctors about going to the reflexologist, as I didn't know if they would believe it. After the blockage was removed (dissolved) I felt so much better- my shortness of breath is a lot better too.
I was telling someone about this and she was wondering if he could do anything for Restless Leg Syndrome. I then remembered I had that also sometime back and it is gone too. I didn't even tell Miguel about it. This is a nerve problem also and all of our nerve endings are at the bottom of our feet. Check out this chart.
