The Tragedy of Parkinson’s Disease

Reaching outParkinson’s disease is tragic. It’s challenging to live with – on levels I can’t even imagine – and heartbreaking for loved ones to witness. The incredible success that actor Michael J. Fox has had in managing his symptoms is due in no small part to his financial ability to resource the absolute best treatments available world wide. Sadly, that option is not available to most.

Erica Blinkhorn, a graduate of the Academy’s 2015 certification program, decided to see if a combination of hand and foot reflexology might help an 81 year-old woman with her chronic symptoms. You can read Erica’s exact protocol and the results of her research here. The study revealed a surprising outcome with a non-related health complaint as well.

    This is really good. I start reflexology school in February, am already an LMT and have clients with Parkinsons.

      I’m glad you found this helpful Kelly. It’s very rewarding to bring comfort to people who are suffering through our intentional touch. Thanks for joining the ranks of touch therapists.
