Reflexology and Lymphedema

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. You can read the results here.

    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.
