Summary

Author Tina Chantrey teaches everything you need to know about reflexology to get your life in balance and alleviate common health problems.

Beautiful illustrations and an 18 × 24–inch wall chart of key information combined with easy-to-follow instruction make this the perfect go-to reference.

Combining multiple areas of bodywork, reflexology involves applying pressure to the hands and feet to produce beneficial changes in the body. The underlying principle behind reflexology is that there are “reflex points” on the feet and hands that are connected to organs and body parts by energy. When pressure is applied to these areas, energy blockages are removed and better health results. Learn reflexology to relieve:

• Back pain
• Previous injuries
• Insomnia
• Headaches and migraines
• Digestive disorders
• Arthritis
• Hormone imbalances

The In Focus series applies a modern approach to teaching the classic body, mind, and spirit subjects. Authored by experts in their respective fields, these beginner's guides feature smartly designed visual material that clearly illustrates key topics within each subject. As a bonus, each book includes reference cards or a poster, held in an envelope inside the back cover, that give you a quick, go-to guide containing the most important information on the subject.
