VERTICAL REFLEX THERAPY (VRT) - THE FACTS

 

“VRT adds hugely to the success of conventional reflexology.

All reflexologists should be taught it.” Edinburgh course feedback.

 
What is VRT?

Vertical Reflex Therapy is a remarkable reflexology discovery where the dorsal hand or foot reflexes are briefly treated while weight-bearing. Lynne Booth's best selling book, Vertical Reflexology and also Vertical Reflexology for Hands are available from bookshops and Booth VRT direct.

 

What are the benefits?

The therapeutic response from VRT is often quicker, especially with orthopedic problems. Advanced VRT techniques can often help intransigent conditions. VRT can also be used as a brief first-aid treatment or as part of a comprehensive 25 minute treatment for hospices, the workplace, schools, sports centres, etc.

 

How does it fit into my conventional practice?

Simply reduce your classical treatment to allow time to apply VRT for up to 5 minutes at the beginning and/or end of treatments. VRT complements all forms of reflexology and enhances, rather than replaces, your other techniques and skills.

 

Are the courses accredited and how will I find a VRT practitioner?

Over 5000 reflexologists have attended authorized VRT courses in the UK and internationally. The courses are accredited by the Complementary Therapists’ Association (IGPP) and Booth VRT can provide a VRT practitioner list for particular geographical areas. Certificates of Attendance are issued.

 

Who runs VRT courses and where are they held?

Booth VRT authorized tutors run one day courses which are held regularly in many areas in the UK and overseas. We are also invited by reflexology schools and colleges, international reflexology federations, local support groups and national training bodies to run in-house courses. 

 

Is there research to back up your claims?

In 1997 a small medically approved VRT study on geriatric pain and mobility problems resulted in a 60% maintained improvement in 7 weeks. A survey of reflexology/VRT in the workplace in 2002 resulted in 80% plus recorded improvement when daily self-help VRT on the hands was implemented. Other research includes studies on anxiety and pain.

 

What is VRT Nail-working?

The systems of the body are mapped out on the nails. By finely working nail-on-nail on the feet and hands, deeper reflexes on the plantar and dorsum can be stimulated and powerful results can be achieved by connecting nail and dorsal reflexes.
