Format:Paperback
Having read many books on reflexology i have found that this book is a complete all round manual for the beginner and professional alike.The book takes you through initial techniques of a simple nature and on to total foot mapping with interesting articles on patient illness and through to complete diagnosis and cure.
I especially liked the section on setting up your own business, complete with legal, moral and ethical issues concerning reflexology.
An all round book--Highly recommended.
