my knees are talking to me

Hello Kristi,

I am a reflexologist, and I know the area on the foot that you can work on for your creaky knee. I myself have had a noisy knee that pops at times, and once I give myself reflexology, the problem ceases.

Get some lotion on your hands and really warm up your feet with a good massage before you begin. Then, look at the outer edges of your feet. There is a bump in the middle that is hard. Take your thumb and slowly work your way around those bumps. You may find crunchy thingies being popped as you massage. Give some good pressure. Then, work your way down along the edge with your thumb, until you reach the very bottom outer edge of your foot. This is mainly where the knee is located, but I have found that the little knobby bumpy thingy is necessary to work on as well. Once you get to the hard flat area at the bottom outer edge, work your way with your thumb in a circle. You may feel pain here, but it will go away the more you massage it.

The little crunchy things are calcium deposits, and so when you massage them, they get released into your bloodstream. You will need to drink a lot of water to flush them out.

Also, massage your actual knees as well, around the edges, with lotion.

If this is confusing, you can also just make a reflexology appointment.

Emotionally, the knees have to do with being "flexible" in your life.

Hope this helps!

Love n Light,
Tawni
