Comments from Attendees
Dr. Jesus Manzaranes, M.D.
The Manzanares Method of Science-Based Reflexology
"Taking Dr. Manzanares' basic workshop was an experience I embraced as an experienced RN. I started to incorporate his techniques as an adjunct to what I have practiced and taught for years and found validating feedback from clients. What a progressive and wonderful opportunity for those of us in the U.S."

"For the first time since the early 1900s, when Drs. FitzGerald and Riley presented the concept of the Reflexology Map Of The Human Body on the feet, Dr. Manzanares, through biopsies, has begun to document that the tissue variations found in tender reflexes is organic in nature, meaning an increased supply of nerve endings, in contrast to the now out dated concept that the tenderness is cause by inorganic substances, crystals, in the reflex area. This is just one of many scientifically based insights to be gained during classes with Dr. Manzanares."

"I have been using the foot mapping information and have consistently found that it makes a difference in finding the deposits in the feet, especially the lumbar reflexes. "

"I feel a bolstered sense of confidence now in speaking about reflexology armed with the knowledge of Dr. Manzanares medical and scientific studies. It was an honor to be learning side by side with some of the best and knowledgeable practitioners in our field."
Cindy Bernstein

"We need more of what Dr. Manzanares has to teach - new perspectives that bring a renewed approach to this important work. I appreciate the more scientfiic and physiological aspects of reflexology."

"It was amazing to participate in the hands-on sessions sitting beside Dr. Manzanares."
Julie Thompson
Reflexologist (California)
"Dr. Manzanares has pioneered research that validates many of the long-held theories in reflexology: that the central nervous system is the mechanism for reflexology impulses; that tender reflex points referrred to as deposits have a scientific and anatomical basis and that reflexology can be effective in a medical practice. Dr. Manzanares' research provides far-reaching opportunities in reflexology education and for consumers seeking reflexology as a valid complementary form of healthcare."
