This book is absolutely the very best, and most scientifically thoughtful reflexology text I have ever read, or even browsed through. I wish that this book were used as text for the 18 hour course I completed at a nearby massage school; it is that good.

Mr. Byers draws on his years of close, personal work with his Aunt Eunice Ingham (a practicing nurse), her notes,her correspondance; as well as, his own experience as a practicing reflexologist, scientist, teacher, and lecturer as matterial this dynamic text. What makes this such an awsome book is that he not only covers time-proven, accurate methods of foot reflexology, but also anatomy & physiology which is such crucial knowledge for anyone interested in holistic medicine. I have not seen such adequate coverage of anatomy in any other volume, as it appears here. In addition, Mr. Byers takes an uncubersome scienticic approach, coupled with an easy reading, easy comprehending writting style, with plenty of clear illustrations which makes it a perfect for practitioner and layman alike. He leaves nothing to the immagination. Though I have one copy already, I intend to purchase another for a backup -something I've never done with any other book. It is that good!!!!!!!

Please, please, please buy this book, you won't be sorry!!!

This is THE book to buy on reflexology! There are a lot of other books and methods out there but this book is the original. Dwight Byers has perfected the art of reflexology, first developed by his aunt, Eunice Ingham. Not only is the information in the book presented in a clear, concise manner but it is the most accurate information on reflexology available. If you want to do reflexology either professionally or just on family and friends, this book contains what you need to be the best at what you do.

i have read many articles and books reflecting on reflexology...but this is for myself, one of the best references in which i have been thoroughly pleased with. the descriptions and the photos really illustrate and bring light to this wonderful therapy....i highly recommend this book...i think you will not be disappointed...its rich in details and very concise.

This is an excellent resource for those setting out to study reflexology. The text is easily understood,the pictures self-explanatory and a full size colour reflexology chart is included. It's a book that I will keep and refer to constantly.

This is a great read for both the beginner and experienced. I am a licensed massage therapist who has been practicing for two years. I love doing foot reflexology and find this book very detailed and informative. This will give anyone more confidence in what they are doing.

Foot reflexology is not massage, although it is complementary to massage and often performed by massage therapists. This book was written by Eunice Ingham's nephew in loving, respectful memory of his aunt who developed "The Ingham method" of Foot Reflexology. In the back of this book is a large full-color foldout foot chart showing the zones, guidelines and reflexes of the feet. The text makes sense of what might, at first, seem "a little out there" to those who do not understand reflexology. Once it explains how the feet have correlating reflex points to the various organs of the body, the book orients the reader to the various systems and organs of the body, gives clear direction to the areas of the feet and their relation to the body, and details how to perform the various techniques of foot reflexology. The book also demonstrates several relaxation techniques that feel wonderful on their own as well as serving to relax the client for treatment. There is no mystery or spiritual magic to this (other than the simple healing magic of touch), just completely reasonable medical explanations and clear descriptions with great photographs and drawings to further clarify. We used this book in a classroom setting, and I experienced surprising results after just one practice session with a classmate. You really need a willing partner on whom to practice, since you cannot hold your feet and perform complete reflexology on yourself (although you can modify some of the techniques for self-treatment). If you are interested in learning foot reflexology, this is an excellent guide. I will review it often as I practice to improve; and it does take practice.

This is a great book. Very well written. Easy to understand. Full of information and descriptions. Great for the beginning reflexologist as well as those more practiced. I love the chart at the back that lists different problems clients may have and the specific areas to work to help them.

A must have for anyone interested in Reflexology! The perfect companion to Eunice D. Ingham's "Stories the Feet Can Tell Thru Reflexology".

This is a wonderful book especially for anyone just getting into reflexology. It came highly recommended to me by a reputable source.

This book was really cheap, I didn't expect it to be in such great shape. I realized later that it was missing a pull-out map in the back of the book. Not a big deal, but the map would have been very helpful. Overall I was satisfied with the purchase.
