 Many
people who suffer from fibromyalgia already have regular reflexology
and find it beneficial, so are familiar with the concept behind
Reflosocks, and indeed wear their Reflosocks between reflexology
treatments .A reflexology treatment will cost anywhere between £20 -
£35, so Reflosocks (at only £16.00 /pair; discounts available when
you purchase more than one pair) are an economical way to
benefit from the healing and pain relieving powers of reflexology
between sessions.
The following are quotes from fibromyalgia
sufferers who have benefitted from wearing Reflosocks :
‘Not only to they take the pain away or lessen it, which
is a benefit in itself, but if I am feeling tense (which
makes the pain worse anyway)-they help me to relax and
feel very mellow.’
‘ They do seem to help and are most comfortable; I don’t
want to take them off.’
‘ They relieved the pain and were comfortable’
‘There is some pain relief in my neck and shoulders – I
can knit more, which I enjoy’
‘Thank you so much for the socks. They have definitely
made a difference’
‘When walking with Reflosocks on I can feel pressure
points picking up painful areas under foot, which is
most relaxing.’
‘An easy way to try reflexology’
‘They help- relief at last!’
‘Its’ a convenient and easy way to help oneself’
‘They improved my mobility and circulation whilst at
work’
