Reviews

An excellent book for the licensed medical primary care provider. I am very aware that there are many well thought out points of view on where reflexes on the feet are located. Hanne Marquardt has done possibly the best job I have ever seen of showing where she thinks such reflexes are located. --Bill Flocco, Founder/Director, American Academy of Reflexology; Past President, International Council of ReflexologistsAt last, a book written for the serious student...The professional tone of the book makes this work a great resource and textbook, both for entry-level and life-long students of reflexology. This is THE book for the professional!...I will strongly recommend this book to educators who ask me what texts are the best in the field to use. In addition to the theory portion, Marquardt's extensive experience gives invaluable and practical examples of how reflexology can complement traditional medicine. Whether one wants to practice in the medical model or stress reduction/wellness model, this book is a must.--Christine Issel, author of Reflexology: Art, Science & HistoryA lot of reflexology books cover the same ground. This book is an exception and is suited to the avid reflexology reader. [Reflexotherapy of the Feet provokes] thoughts about technique approaches, issues relating to professionalism, and perspectives on approaching reflex zone therapy...In a decade where reflexology is going mainstream, this book is the leader. It is a major contribution to our knowledge.--Kevin Kunz, Founder/Director the Reflexology Research Program, Editor, Reflexions, teacher, and authorI would recommend this book for all those interested in embarking or furthering their knowledge in reflex therapy. It is inspiring, sensitive and wise. --Physiotherapy Journal
