Book Description

November 15, 1988
In Feet First, America's foremost reflexology spokesperson on radio and TV -- and in publications from The New York Times to Cosmopolitan -- explains how to relieve physical problems -- from headaches and insomnia to high blood pressure and weight loss -- with this easily accessible and popular holistic technique. Showing how everyone can use reflexology to reduce stress, revitalize energy, strengthen the immune system, stimulate creativity, and enhance relationships, Norman also includes:

* descriptions of the reflex points, the six basic techniques, and easy-to-learn specialized and master routines.

* 32 foot-relaxation techniques, most of them unique to Norman's program

* specific chapters and techniques for stress, sports injuries, addiction problems, the terminally ill, women, and couples

* visualizations, affirmations, and children's games to use with the routines

* a chart of ailments and reflexology aids for them

Feet First is the only reflexology guide designed for everyday situations and people -- from office workers on a lunch break to families caring for an aged relative. This special kind of "touch therapy" strengthens the bonds between those who use it together.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Bernie Siegel, M.D. author of Love, Medicine & Miracles A total healing experience for the whole person. If you can't have the experience of Laura Norman's healing touch, as I have, the next best thing is to learn the techniques in this book and apply them to yourself, your family, and friends. It will alter your life in a profound way.

Regis Philbin co-host of Live with Regis & Kathie Lee Laura Norman's reflexology spared me from a kidney stone operation and saved my life. What she does is the second best thing in the world.

Lucinda Lidell author of The Book of Massage Suffused with Laura Norman's enthusiasm, warmth, and great wealth of experience, Feet First brings the techniques of foot reflexology into the home, showing us how to target our touch to reduce stress and alleviate an extensive range of health problems. I would recommend this fine book to all who welcome the chance to learn how to use their hands as a catalyst for healing.

Carlotta Carlson Jacobson beauty editor, Harper's Bazaar Reflexology is one of the best ways I know to relax, revitalize, and rejuvenate your body and mind. Laura Norman's techniques will make the difference in how you look and feel.

Format:Paperback
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!

Format:Paperback
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.

Good for the Sole November 6, 2001
Format:Paperback
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!

The content itself is excellent. However the book is very difficult to read due to it being in red. It is very hard on the eyes and difficult to see.
