The Complete Illustrated Guide to Reflexology: Therapeutic Foot Massage for Health and Well-beingThis volume introduces the art and science of reflexology, describing the typical treatments, and including many practical examples and case studies. Reflexology is an alternative medicine involving the physical act of applying pressure to the feet, hands, or ears with specific thumb, finger, and hand techniques without the use of oil or lotion. It is based on what reflexologists claim to be a system of zones and reflex areas that they say reflect an image of the body on the feet and hands, with the premise that such work effects a physical change to the body. |
