Feet First: Feet First

I have this book in my massage bookbag so I have it with me on each call. I keep it for my clients who like to hear affirmations and also as a quick reference to conditions I haven't worked on before. The quick index with pictures to each condition is the best feature of the book; it has the primary and secondary reflexes per condition and the affirmation in the last column.

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!

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!

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.
