My 1st Foot Reflexology
Just came home from supper with my uncle and auntie.
Today's Cheryl's birthday, but o well, it's just a little girl's birthday. Heehee. Went over to Aunt Alice's place for Shawn's tuition. Then after dinner, my dear Uncle Allan wanted to go for foot reflexology. Ha.. and guess what, my uncle and aunt brought me along. So exciting... Foot reflexology.. Have always seen those celebs doing foot reflexology on tv and screaming at the top of their lungs. Wondered if I would scream too..
We went to IMM to have the reflexology. Cos it's my 1st time doing foot reflexology, aunt alice arranged a female masseur for me. They said it wont hurt so much. And uncle and aunt had male masseurs cos they got more strength.
O well it din really hurt so much. Not really pain. Only my big toes and the side of my ankles. I used to think that the louder and more u scream during the reflexology, the more unhealthy u are. But I was wrong according to the masseur. The healthy u are, the more u will scream.. But I still dun believe it. According to the foot chart, the acupuncture point on the big toes and ankles are related to the head, temporal area and knees. Since I felt acute pain at those points, I really think that the more pain u feel, the more problem with concern to the related points.
When aunt kept asking me "pain anot?" No leh... Me got quite high pain tolerance level. I was still bragging that I wont be screaming at the top of my lungs cos it's not pain. But I simply had to eat back my words. Aunt's masseur wanted to disturb and tease me so he grabbed my ankle. Still acting tough so I kept saying "NOT PAIN." I asked for it, cos then he grabbed even harder and harder until I really wanted to scream and beg for mercy. Whahaha...
After which, I had the back massage. The masseur just sat on me and massaged. My neck and shoulders are so stiff. So pain. I was in so much pain that my mouth was opened so wide that I stretched all my mouth muscles to form a CAPITAL "O". I was too pain to scream out loud. Hahaha...
Not too bad an experience. But just couldn't help to compare this experience with spa. Reflexology is more of a pain relieve thing through acute pain pressure while spa is more of an enjoyment and relaxation through gentle rub and touch massage. Heh... I think I would prefer spa to reflexology. More comfortable and make me smell nicer. Ha..cos after the reflexology, I smelt like medicated oil.
