Product Details

Foot reflexology is now widely used to relieve symptoms of many disorders. Hanne Marquardt is a pioneer in teaching and practicing foot reflexology in Germany - many of today's practicing foot reflexologists were trained at her well-established teaching institution. This book, based on the best-selling fourth German edition, has been constantly reviewed and updated by the author, incorporating new findings and strategies as they evolved.

In many hand-drawn illustrations of the microsystem of the feet, the book introduces the principles and the practice of foot reflexology. It covers

- the complete topography of zones

- general treatment examples

- specific applications and strategies on treatment combinations

The book profits from the author's personal style and lengthy teaching experience.

"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 Reflexologists

"At 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 & History

"A 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 author

"I 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
