"Clinical Reflexology" takes the practitioner on a journey of
examination, critical review and debate prior to making
recommendations for best practice in reflexology. ? The phenomenal
rise in interest by health professionals in Complementary and
Alternative Medicine (CAM), and in particular touch therapies, has
led to a need for texts that relate and integrate theory and
practice to health care settings. Clinical Reflexology does this,
expanding and exploring concepts introduced in the first edition.
Many CAM books have been written for therapists working in private
practice but many of these practitioners are also now working in
healthcare settings. This book allows both groups to facilitate the
greater integration of clinical reflexology in clinical
practice.
The book is divided into two sections. The first deals with key
themes, including an up-to-date review of the research evidence and
appropriate methodology, safe and supported practice and
integration issues. All these themes are explored and discussed
utilizing the available literature, analysis of models and concepts
and are related specifically to health care practice. The second
section focuses on the clinical application of reflexology and how
it can be best adapted to the context. The contributors are
committed pioneers in their field with a track record of
integrating reflexology within clinical settings. Many are
teachers, coordinators of therapy services and supervisors.
