Review
Regis Philbin co-host of "Live with Regis & Kathie Lee" Laura Norman's reflexology spared me from a kidney stone operation and saved my life. What she does is the second best thing in the world.
Product Description
In "Feet First, " America's foremost reflexology spokesperson on radio and TV -- and in publications from "The New York Times" to Cosmopolitan -- explains how to relieve physical problems -- from headaches and insomnia to high blood pressure and weight loss -- with this easily accessible and popular holistic technique. Showing how everyone can use reflexology to reduce stress, revitalize energy, strengthen the immune system, stimulate creativity, and enhance relationships, Norman also includes:
* descriptions of the reflex points, the six basic techniques, and easy-to-learn specialized and master routines.
* 32 foot-relaxation techniques, most of them unique to Norman's program
* specific chapters and techniques for stress, sports injuries, addiction problems, the terminally ill, women, and couples
* visualizations, affirmations, and children's games to use with the routines
* a chart of ailments and reflexology aids for them
"Feet First" is the only reflexology guide designed for everyday situations and people -- from office workers on a lunch break to families caring for an aged relative. This special kind of "touch therapy" strengthens the bonds between those who use it together.

I could hardly read this book fast enough; I wanted to learn the techniques yesterday! Reflexology appears to be a completely natural and beautiful way to share health with loved ones, friends and clients. I now use this book as a gift for newly-weds and new parents. In a time when people are "afraid of touch", reflexology could be taught to young children to satisfy our fundamental "need of touch".

This book is very complete and covers a lot of material in an easy to read format. It has a section with ailments and which part of the foot you need to focus on so you are constantly using the book for reference. Great pictures and diagrams. I recommend it to beginners because it is easy to read and understand and for the experienced person you need a good reference book. We have enjoyed this book in our family.

A step by step guide on how to perform reflexology.
15 Aug 2000
Format:Paperback
This book is wonderfully written. I purchased this book for my introduction class to reflexology.. This book was basically a step to step guide on who to perform a full hour or longer foot massage I really enjoyed this book I learned a lot of useful step about the feet and what each area of the foot repersented in chinese/ western foot mapping. I would recommend this book for anyone ( especially a beginner) that want to learn how to massage the feet.I give this book a eleven on a scale of one to ten!

Good for the Sole
7 Nov 2001
Format:Paperback
FEET FIRST is the ultimate book on reflexology, since Laura Norman is the ultimate reflexologist and she shares her techniques in this book. Reflexology is a philosophy which links every part of the body with a corresponding area on the foot, and soothes those body parts by a specialized method of foot massage. Everything one needs to know in order to master this ancient form of therapy is included in FEET FIRST. If one cannot get to Laura, using her method is the next best thing, because a Laura Norman reflexology session is like no one else's treatment. Afterwards, your toes will feel like singing!
