More About the Author

I have been a physical therapist for 40 years and an acupuncturist for 35 - also trained in homoeopathy, cranio-sacral therapy, reflexology and all types of bodywork. I have taught all over the world, especially the chakra system of healing and acupressure.

I have written 6 books, also produced 2 clinical posters. My latest two books are 'The Concise book of Acupoints' and 'Reflected Energy Pathways'. The latter book shows over 70 areas of the body where the whole is reflected - ideal for the reflexologist or physical therapist wanting to use the body's reflexes- this book is available from me.

My first two books on 'Acupressure - Clinical Applications in Musculo-Skeletal Conditions' and 'Acupressure and Reflextherapy in Medical Conditions' have been reprinted for the amazing price of $35.00 each (plus shipping from the UK). Also I now accept credit/debit cards as well as Paypal. Please visit my web site and get a quote

5.0 out of 5 stars Acupressure: Clinical Applications in Musculo-Skeletal Condi, April 3, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Acupressure: Clinical Applications in Musculo-Skeletal Conditions (Paperback)

Excellent presentation of Acupressure and the practical applications associated with Acupressure. Emphasis placed on how the art relates to Western medicine. Information is presented in a clear, concise, easy-to-understand manner that covers everything from the basics to advanced techniques used by the "masters". Highly useful and recommended as a resource for those involved in the allied health professions or the lay-person with an interest in Acupressure.

This review is from: Acupressure: Clinical Applications in Musculo-Skeletal Conditions (Paperback)

This book is one of the most excellent texts of it's kind. While providing sound and applicable information for the professional, it also is infinately readable for self help. Dr. Cross is amazingly generous with his information. His writing style in interesting and clear. As someone who has studied a wide range of alternative medical practices, I really appreciate Dr. Cross's ability to boil down huge amounts of information into very practical and usable applications. All of his books are a must for someone seriously interested in bringing the maximum to their health care practice.
