5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for both study and practice, 21 Jul 2004
This is an excellent book for anyone wanting to find out about reflexology. Detailed information on case studies covering a wide range of conditions gives both student and practitioner a view into exactly what reflexology can do. This will be the book I continue to reach for long after I have completed my studies as it is a valuable resource for all aspects of reflexology.

5.0 out of 5 stars Necessary for Reflexology ITEC Course Work, 25 Jul 2003
This is a Great Book for anyone wanting to know more about Reflexology either as a Student or a Professional. It covers many aspects and skills and is the best informative book that I have read in a long time. If you are taking an ITEC Course then this is a must as it will probably add more to your knowledge than the course can offer. This book also offers help on case study work and is a complete book on the whole subject of Reflexology.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Revision and Guidance Book
