Reflexology harnesses the body's healing energy by stimulating specific pressure points on the hands and feet, alleviating the energy blocks that can cause pain or disability and restoring optimum health. In The Reflexology Manual, the practical text guides the reader in mastering these self-help techniques, and color photographs illustrate a full reflexology treatment step by step. Full-color illustrations throughout. Detailed diagrams of pressure-point zones on the hands and feet. Clear explanations of how to work with the energy meridians. Ideal for beginners as well as experienced students of reflexology.

Download or read book Practical Manual Of Plantar Reflexology written by Maria Enelsi Gomez Gutierrez and published by Youcanprint. This book was released on 2023-05-12 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feet are a masterpiece of structural engineering, beautifully designed, in perfect coordination with many muscles. In a very small space they include 26 bones, 33 joints, 114 ligaments, 20 muscles and an intricate network of nerves and blood vessels. Wonderful structures that fully reflect our State of Health. The fact that the "Foot Plant", like eyes and skin, communicates directly with the Central Nervous System (it is a basic element of the Postural System) makes us realize the complex system of relationships that occurs within the most disparate parts of the Body. Here's how targeted Reflexology Massage can help our body to get rid of toxins accumulated in some parts of it. The Reflexology Massage is based on "Pressures" in specific parts of the Foot which result to have correspondences with each organ of the Body and thereby determining Reactivation States and improvement of the related physiological functions. Plantar reflexology acts on the whole organism, stimulating all the positive forces, influencing the various organs and corporeal systems: Circulatory, Nervous, Digestive and so on, normalizing and balancing its functioning. Starting from my experience as a Massotherapist and Bioenergetist I can say that my clients, family members and friends have found well-being and an improvement in health from their feet massage. From the very first moment I met this Practice many years ago, I remember having always wanted to have a nice Foot Massage done every evening. The results have always been of well-being and a sense of rest. This is one of the things that led me to want to share this experience with you, because our Feet are our base, the "Base of our Life".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to apply the precise treatment techniques of Total Reflexology, which combines craniosacral therapy and foot reflexology, to the hands • Explains the special relationship between the hand and the brain, making hand reflexology ideal for treatment of neurological, mental, and emotional disorders • Details how to use the occipital zones of craniosacral therapy to pinpoint which zones and points on the hands to treat • Includes full-color detailed maps of the pressure points and zones of the hands One of the most defining physical characteristics of humanity, the hands contain reflex zones and pressure points related to the systems and organs of the body just like the feet. The reflex zones and points of the hands present the most effective means of treating psychological and neurological disorders due to their sophisticated relationship with the brain. Applying her ground-breaking combination of reflexology and craniosacral therapy to the hands, Dr. Martine Faure-Alderson explains how to use hand reflexology to treat the brain and each of the body’s systems, from the digestive system to the human energetic system. She provides precise full-color mapped hand diagrams illustrating the exact placement of the points according to the bones of the hands, the result of more than 40 years of research and clinical practice. She explains how to use the occipital zones of craniosacral therapy to pinpoint which zones and points on the hands to treat. Examining the psychological level of brain-hand interactions, the author reveals how neurological dysfunctions and mental disorders respond more readily to hand reflexology than to other forms of therapies. She explains how many physical ailments have a psychological component and how reflexology automatically triggers the release of endorphins by working directly on the autonomic nervous system. The author explores the role of nutritional supplements, including Omega 3s, as a support to reflexology therapy and shows how finely tuned reflexology stimulates the body’s self-healing abilities and cellular regeneration, making this an indispensable resource for holistic health practitioners and for home self-care.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What distinguishes the ZU method from other interpretations of Foot Reflexology is the indepth, analytical study of the identification of reflex points on the foot, otherwise known as I.S.R.A., or Identification of Sensitive Reflex Areas. All the points described have been localized in relation to the bones and by aiming at the epicentre of the pain in each sensitive area. A foot can be long, wide, short, large or thin; pathologically, it can be flat, hollow, equine, varus, valgus or twisted. This type of reading objectifies the reflex points.

Download or read book Clinical Reflexology written by Denise Tiran and published by Elsevier Health Sciences. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clinical Reflexology takes the practitioner on a journey of examination, critical review and debate prior to making recommendations for best practice in reflexology. The phenomenal rise in interest by health professionals in Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM), and in particular touch therapies, has led to a need for texts that relate and integrate theory and practice to health care settings. Clinical Reflexology does this, expanding and exploring concepts introduced in the first edition. Many CAM books have been written for therapists working in private practice but many of these practitioners are also now working in healthcare settings. This book allows both groups to facilitate the greater integration of clinical reflexology in clinical practice. The book is divided into two sections. The first deals with key themes, including an up-to-date review of the research evidence and appropriate methodology, safe and supported practice and integration issues. All these themes are explored and discussed utilizing the available literature, analysis of models and concepts and are related specifically to health care practice. The second section focuses on the clinical application of reflexology and how it can be best adapted to the context. The contributors are committed pioneers in their field with a track record of integrating reflexology within clinical settings. Many are teachers, coordinators of therapy services and supervisors.

Book excerpt: Foot Reading is a book that dives into the wonderful world of foot assessment head-on, unlike any other. Incorporating the physical and mental/emotional meanings of the reflexes on the feet is the sole purpose of this text. This resource isn’t just reflexology made easy. Instead of showing the same version of a foot reflexology chart present in hundreds of other foot reading books, Sam Belyea describes in detail what the various foot pathologies such as dryness, bunions, swelling, and inflammation reveal about a person’s internal and external circumstance with stunningly accurate detail. Because of the powerful information contained throughout these pages, it is recommended that any holistic-minded person or practitioner read it thoroughly and digest its concepts. You will embark with the basics of mapping the Horizontal Zones and Vertical Zones of Influence onto the feet, then advance to using the four elements (earth, air, fire, and water) to further clarify any markers present and finally emerging onto the hidden treasure of this book: how to provide a foot-reading consultation. With a combination of reflexology theory, elemental assessment, and coaching protocol, the reader will enjoy sitting down with friends, family, or clientele to share the insights present within the feet. But the journey does not stop there. Sam has also added a final section, teaching the reader to overlay foot-reading principles onto the hands, face, and ears as well, giving an extensive skill set to assess all four extremities with ease. Without a doubt, you are holding a revolutionary tome that will change the way you look at feet forever. Use this wisdom responsibly and carefully. Once you have learned to read feet, there is little a person can hide from your discerning eyes.
