The Reflexology Manual: An Easy-to-Use Illustrated Guide to the Healing Zones of the Hands and Feet

By Pauline Wills

An ancient therapy used in China, Egypt, and India, reflexology provides effective, holistic treatment for both common and more serious disorders. According to reflexology, the hands and feet are microcosms of the body, containing points or zones that relate to individual glands, nerves, muscles, and organs. Reflexology harnesses the body's healing energy by stimulating specific pressure points on the hands and feet, alleviating the energy blocks that can cause pain or disability and restoring optimum health. In The Reflexology Manual , the practical text guides the reader in mastering these self-help techniques, and color photographs illustrate a full reflexology treatment step by step. Full-color illustrations throughout. Detailed diagrams of pressure-point zones on the hands and feet. Clear explanations of how to work with the energy meridians. Ideal for beginners as well as experienced students of reflexology.

Excellent Textbook

I highly recommend this textbook on reflexology. The illustrations and written text explains in detail the technique involved in reflexology. excellent book.

Lots of color photos

I bought this book for my wife, but was a little unsure of what I was going to get, because the description is a little lacking.It turned out to be pretty good, though. There's 144 pages with a semiglossy finish.The thing I like best about it is that virtually every page is filled with large or multiple, full-color photographs or color diagrams.Massage techniques are numbered sequences.It seems very thorough, and although I don't plan to read it, my wife was very pleased with it (she was also relieved that I didn't get The Idiot's Guide to Reflexology, which seemed like another good beginner book).
