Could reflexology help someone who has lived with insufficient venous return for over 20 years?
2017 Academy grad and advanced registered nurse practitioner (ARNP), Roberta Cirocco, decided to test whether a combination of hand and foot reflexology could positively affect a 68-year-old woman with diagnosed lymphedema who has been living with venous insufficiency for 20 years.

As an LMT, RCR, LLp and CSTp I find this highly believable. While in reflexology school, we were told there are no lymph nodes in the foot. Having taking some lymphedema courses I begged to differ and actually did a case study on lymph movement through the feet and hands as my course project.
