Imre Somogyi
Whilst working as a journalist and a television producer Imre Somogyi became interested in natural healing. He studied, amongst other therapies, homeopathy, herbalism and polarity massage. During this time he developed a theory that toes are mirrors and that the shape and position of your toes show who you are. After his initial discovery he was astonished to learn that there had never been anything published on the subject. He began his own research and, twenty years later, he set himself a test. He would examine 40 pairs of feet and if his analysis was less than 90 percent accurate he would turn a deaf ear to all those who demanded that he wrote a book.

Dr. Maybelle Segal
Reflexology, or compression foot massage, is "a natural art of healing, a drugless way of stimulating the internal organs, thereby increasing the circulation and restoring bodily functions to normal." So says Maybelle Segal, a practitioner of this ancient art, one which was used as long ago in China as acupuncture. Revived in our country in 1913 by Dr. William Fitzgerald, reflexology has gained new adherents in recent times, many as a result of renewed interest in all natural preventative health measures.
But reflexology has also gained much attention because of the efforts Maybelle Segal has made to publicize this method. She had demonstrated compression foot massage on television and has won many converts to this healing art. And now she has written this basic book on the subject, intended for both the patient and the potential practitioner. It is an easy-to-read volume filled with helpful diagrams and photographs and written with a very personal touch.
