Many of us as reflexologists have suffered from aching fingers after a busy week. Thankfully I don't suffer so much now as I've learnt to look after my hands and do stretches every day to warm them up before I start work and stretch them out at the end of the day.
However I only started to do this after moving from part time reflexology work to full time - it was then that I would lie in bed at night with throbbing fingers wondering if I'd done the right thing in going full time - was I going to have to give up because of RSI?
Gradually after a number of weeks, and regular stretching exercises my hands and fingers became accustomed to their new work load and the pain disappeared but I was reminded of it when I saw this article in the Guardian and thought it may be useful for others!

Hi Elspeth, sorry I've not been on for a while as I've been busy with my reflexology work and trying to finish the I love reflexology website. I specialise in maternity reflexology and absolutely love working with my pregnant ladies. I'm sure your patients will find it invaluable that you can combine both experiences!
