Reflexology & Massage The Hand DVD

Reflexology & Massage The Hand DVD. Learn the healing art of hand reflexology and comprehensive hand and forearm massage from expert massage therapist, Meade Steadman. Meade provides hands-on instruction, demonstrating the strokes and techniques on both the right and left hands and on different models: young and old, male and female. For the reflexology section, Meade discusses the body's physiology, indications, contraindications (particularly geriatric concerns), background history, and how the anatomy of the hand maps to each gland, organ and part of the body. Meade's demonstrations show how to warm up the hands, work the whole body for balance, and focus on specific areas of concern. (approx. 2 Hrs.)
