Acupressure & Reflextherapy in the Treatment of Medical Conditions: Clinical Applications in the Treatment of Disease

By John R. Cross and John R. Cross

The important topics of stress related and emotional conditions are given a whole chapter, thus emphasising their importance in this modern world. The author shows how many emotional symptoms stem from physical or chemical imbalance and suggests that acupressure and reflextherapy are genuine alternatives to drug therapy. As with his first book, the author does not dismiss conventional methods of treatment where they are indicated. This is a most valuable text for any practicing manual therapist who wishes to extend the range of their skills.
