Modality Question

[Guest guest]

Hi,I was wanting to see if anyone could give me some insight to a

certain modality of therapy I have had done. Unfortunately I have

moved away and lost contact with my therapist. When I was living in

Texas, I went to a LMT every week, and actually about six times a

month.She introduced a modality to me that worked absolute wonders

for me in the way of stress relief, though it worked too for

allergies and once when I hurt my knee.

 

I do not have a name for the modality and it may be

something my former therapist developed on her own.

I would lay face down on the table with just my shoes

and socks removed. She would do a very light strokng

on the soles of the feet. It was not a relaxing

sensation but more of a stimulation. It was very

methodical though. She said she got the idea from a

man named Kelloge who used toothpicks to stroke the

feet. She used her fingertips, very short nails, and a

few other things she had on hand. She told me the

purpose was two-fold: to trigger reflex points and

stimulate the nerves, but also to induce

laughter...which it did. I know it sounds odd, but it

totally took my stres away as well as left me in a

euphoric state and high energy for two or three days.

It was simply amazing! I've had full body massage and

reflexology, but they did nothing like this! Is this

something anyone has ever heard of?

Thanks!
