Physio 10

I had my 10th treatment on Sunday and this time my therapist focused on my feet and legs.

The reason why? I had gone to two events in a row and had walked long distances for the venues and pretty much tensed up my legs more than usual...

Yes, I screamed this time since apparently my feet and legs were so stiff and bloated!! I had no idea that the top of the feet could hurt so much!! She used some of the aroma essence oil I like (winter green and peppermint) to massage and loosen the muscles.

Then we moved up to the shins and calves and did they ever hurt!! But she said that she was happy because now she was finally reaching the inner most level of muscles that are closest to the bones. She couldn't reach them at all when I first started to go for treatments. At that time, my skin wouldn't move freely against my muscles!! Very big improvement for me!! But that's why it hurt like a -itch this time. She was going into areas undiscovered yet (lol)!!

She then worked on my thighs as well and loosened the muscles there too so that my lymph vessels would flow better and the bloating would decrease. I have a problem of both not being about to absorb enough water and once I do, I can't flush it out of my body properly. Sucks...

Finally, she worked on my skull again since I had told her that I had been experiencing several headaches. This is due to both strained muscles and dehydration. Yes, like I said, I can't absorb enough water even though I can retain it quite well(?!).

After all the loosening, I was very lethargic and couldn't keep my eyes open.
Basically, my Parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS or PNS) is finally working properly.
This is a part of the Autonomic nervous system which is responsible for "resting", " feeding and digesting" and "breeding". Of course all living creatures have this nervous system but in some humans, it can be weaker than others such as in my case.  But with the proper treatment and stimulation as well as dietary regulation, it can become stronger.
As a result, I am now able to rest, eat and digest better. Sorry, no breeding yet... (lol!)
So, after this treatment, I fell into a deep sleep for about half an hour on her treatment bed. But I woke up so refreshed it was such an interesting experience!!

I hope the mini exercises I do at home (instructed by my physiotherapist), the enzymes, and a healthier diet will help my body condition improve more!!
