Reflexology
A source of great interest in more recent years. Introduced to her by a friend and she fell in love with the treatment and its benefits.
According to wiki, Reflexology is the practice involving the application of pressure to specific points on the feet, ears, and hands. This is done using thumb, finger, and massage techniques without the use of oil or lotion. It is based on a system of zones and reflex areas that purportedly reflect an image of the body on the feet and hands, with the premise that such work on the feet and hands causes a physical change to the related areas of the body.
Marlene was a true believer from the very start as it offered relief in various parts of the body but also made her relax and able to fall asleep instantly.
She was also fortunate to have someone visit her in Hospice and perform the practice on her a couple of times a week. I will forever be grateful for this volunteer to have offered her services to Marlene during this time.
