I also wish to bring to your attention something that has to do with bias in research.
In the past I had the great opportunity to do training in Athens with Lorimer Mosely, during a break on the second day I brought to him a copy of a similar research as the above which you can read and download here http://www.reflexologiainfantil.org/.../relacions...
What is interesting is the immediate answer Lorimer gave me which was actually more of a question which you can read on the picture. It seems that many things play a role in a research and maybe the researchers in Toulouse should take this into consideration?
For us as I have said in Orthopedic Reflexology training it is of benefit for the client to have a reflexology map handy during the treatment or to take with them home. It will possibly have an effect a positive one for our treatments. Be alert! …not just any map, but the more aesthetically safe, attractive and beautiful the better.
Take care everyone!
