A man once came to my office on his 6 week sabbatical after prostate surgery. He had heard about Reflexololgy and the health benefits. Only in his early 40’s he was concerned that after his recovery he would not be able to satisfy his wife, he was plagued by those far reaching consequences. All his personal research did not leave him with a very positive feeling about their sexual future. Included was the personal testimony of his barber who had the same operation some 18 months before and still had not had an erection. On his 10th session he came to my office with a 40 ouncer of Crown Royal as a gift. He placed it on the table with the words I will never forget - "I thank you, my wife thanks you, and my urologist wants to see you."
I did have an appointment with the head of urology in Montreal at the Montreal General and we spent 2 hrs talking about Reflexology and it’s benefits. He was also impressed by the calming effects to the urinary system, one that does not respond well to medication, namely renal colic.
