4.0 out of 5 stars A reliable book for beginners and skilful practitioners too, November 10, 2002

By	Valeria Pasta (Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo Brazil) - See all my reviews

This is a very good revised edition of Kunz and Kunz's first work. It has a very charming is shape and exceptional editing but its flexible cover should be better.
Kunz and Kunz are among the few researchers about Reflexology in the world,
therefore they have a respectable work. They expose the concept, the theory and the objectives of Reflexology in a correct way. Their high level technique is perfectly presented and demonstrated in details by good illustrations and clear descriptions. As much as possible, not boring.
The book has good charts and summaries about the developing of a session, cues to reading the foot and disorders and its corresponding reflex areas. The foot and hand Reflexology charts, though not in color, are accurate and detailed.
I have been Reflexologyst for twenty years and I really recommend it to beginners and also to skillful practitioners as a complete and trustable reference.

3.0 out of 5 stars Beginners Reference, April 24, 2004

By	Dew - See all my reviews

A guide to stimulating reflexes in the feet to bring about relaxation in corresponding parts of the body. It describes the application of fundamental reflexology techniques. This book is suitable for beginners to practitioners. I do think that the diagrams could have been better.

2.0 out of 5 stars It was ok-ish, April 30, 2009

By	Jessica Schroeder "midwife in the making" (utah, usa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The book was informative, however, the illustrations and technique instructions were not very clear. I think this book would be much better if there was a dvd showing the techniques as opposed to just describing them.
