Description: This beautifully produced reflexology manual emphasizes the importance of the caring exchange of touching, especially in families where physical affection is not a usual interaction. Gillanders, a practicing reflexologist and teacher in the field, describes the 5,000-year-old therapy as releasing blocked energy by applying pressure to reflex points on the feet or hands, thereby restoring harmony to bodily functions. The manual provides detailed maps of the hands and feet of babies, children, and adults, followed by basic reflexology principles and instructions for a short foot-relaxation session and complete foot and hand treatments.
