People always ask how Heal to toe started so I thought I would share with everyone.
Most people go for a treatment or read an article to wet their appetite in training in therapies, I like to be a little more dramatic.
Back in 1990 I had a new born and a toddler to contend with. Rushing around as normal I slipped in the kitchen.
Unbeknown to be I had fractured my C2 and C3. I had also broken off parts of the C3 and C4 vertebrae.
I walked around with a neck injury that could have killed me for ten months before actually getting a diagnosis.
Luckily my upper body went in to spasm to protect the neck.
I went to a Chiropractor that insisted on x-rays . My neck was still too acute to manipulate.
He had previously trained in Reflexology and felt that would be the safest option in treating me.
I remember looking at him while thinking, the blokes an idiot he can't possibly treat my neck by touching my feet!
However, for the first time in months I was pain free and had full movement for a couple of hours.
Ongoing Reflexology treatments gave me a pain free fully mobile neck and spine.
Still not convinced I learnt Reflexology to prove it wrong. I studied every type of Reflexology practised on everyone. I looked for evidence based research and found very little back then.
I couldn't believe it., I started to get really good results and people kept coming back for more.
I finally realised what an amazing therapy it was.
It was so amazing that I opened a clinic and studied for a certificate in education to pass on the knowledge I had learnt.
This was the birth of Heal to Toe
