Foreword written by author and reflexotherapist Terje Horpestad
This book contains new knowledge in reflexotherapy. Through 20 years of everyday practice, I have been able to develop this new reflex zone system. The zone system is detailed and always connected to anatomy and physiology. This textbook is written to students and also to therapists who want to develop further competency. Hopefully, this book will become a source of inspiration and a reference book in reflexotherapy for therapists.
The pathology at the back of book give an account of diseases with simple explan- ations. The diseases are arranged in symptomatic zones, primary and secondary background zones and five element theory. You will also find a survey of internal organs and their functions. For example what do the adrenal glands do? How does pancreas regulate the blood sugar level ?
Keep in mind that this book is only meant to inspire you on the way becoming a reflexotherapist. Reflexotherapy is a longtime study and you are not professional just by reading this book. Hopefully, this book could make the journey through the microsystem of the foot an adventure. To treat other people with reflexotherapy is your responsibility. Good luck!
At last I would like to thank my dear wife, heilpraktiker Heidi Horpestad, for translating this book into English.
