Do you have any publications that talk more about
the different stress cues like this one?

did two books on reading stress cues. The Complete Guide to Foot Reflexology - When we
revised it we added a section on stress cues. And our original publication on
treading stress cues is MyReflexologist Says Feet Don't Lie.
This is a smaller book which really
was blasted, sadly on Amazon.com. (Somebody trashed it for being too small.)
Both are illustrated with sample
feet.What I like about reading
stress cues is that it helps you to understand the individual. It tells you
where the stress lies and allows you to much more quickly select areas for
emphasis. Stress cues also gives you a stress history I think is better than a
medical history for understanding the individual and their response to stress.(I
actually prefer to look at medical history after I work on the
individual.)Being able to read
stress cues gives your clients confidence in your skills. It also gives you a
better sense of how long it will take to achieve results. And it helps you plan
for getting results. Reading stress
cues is a skill worth developing. The future for me is studying large
populations like Alzheimer's patients.
We think we have a stress cue
connected to Alzheimer's. Statistically it is possible to see if you are in fact
correct in the stress cue you have
selected.But simple memory loss I
believe is also detectable. Our
photo shoot for Reflexology: Health at Your Fingertips in 2003 was in London. As
you can see from this book and the DK books that follow we use an absolutely
brilliant photographer. I had
worked my way through the entire crew working on feet except our photographer
who was constantly busy. I asked
her if I could work on her feet. She declined as she was as usual setting
something up. But then she asked
what I thought of her feet. (The photographer shoots barefooted as she wraps
herself around the camera. Her feet help steady the tripod. She and the camera
are one.)"Well how is your memory?'
I asked. She was taken back and
said,"You know I forget where I left the kids. How did you
know?"Do you know how I was able to
tell that there was something going on with her memory without actually touching
her feet? Remember this is a highly intelligent woman.

Tip: I love doing classes on
reading cues as you see a wide collection of feet. I also keep a digital camera
handy. Then you can project it on screen for the crowd. And you have a record of
the unusual feet you will see. And I will tell you there are usually unusual
stress cues in any crowd.
