Hi
I was jsut wondering if anyone can recommmend and good reflexology sites or books, i am studying ITEC reflex and obviously working out of tucker's effort, but it give the reflexes you need to work for certain conditons and then associated reflexes to work but there is absolutely no explanation as to why you should do it, which i am finding very hard to learn, as there is no obvious logic behind it, .
any ideas would really br apprieciated

RE: reflex logic?
hi MM,
the ITEC reflex uses louise tucker and although its not a popular book, i actually thought it was quite clear and easy to follow.
your question on direct and associated reflex points... i think this is where your A & P knowledge comes in. Are you doing it concurrently or have you already done it? if you already hold an A & P diploma, the associated reflexes should be fairly self explanatory... for example:
headaches, migraine - direct ishead & neck
associated face, sinuses, eyes, neck, cervical spine (these are fairly obvious, yes?), solar plexus (for relaxing), stomach, small and large colon (digestion is very upsey by headaches/ migraines), liver, gall bladder (all part of digestion), pituitary, thyroid, adrenals, ovaries (migraines in particular can be triggered by an endocrine imbalance).
its all quite logical if your A & P is ok... if you are ever not sure of something like this, ask your tutor. they are there to answer fundamental questions like this and i bet you are not the only one in class wanting to know!

Hi
A really good book is Francesca Goulds Aromatherapy for Holistic Therapists she also does Massage, Indian Head Massage and Anatomy and Physiology books.
Hope it helps

RE: reflex logic?
I find the Laura Norman book very helpful for explaining why certain reflexes should be worked.
RE: reflex logic?
I am in the same boat I am afraid. I just said I would let you know you are not the only person out there who finds that book really frustrating. Thank God I don't have the exam for another month though. Just done my ITEC Indian Head exam and now concentrating on CIBTAC....ooh I love exams!!!!
Best of luck with finding that anyway.
