Vertical & Precision Reflexology

[vinay_6543]

Do any of you use this system? I bought the book months ago and haven't had a chance to more than have a quick flick through it, but it claims that you get fantastic results and I wondered if any of you use it and find that this is true?

Hi Candie,

I was just browsing through bits of the forum I do not usually reach and came across this posting of yours.

My wife and I read the book on VRT and then went on the basic course, and then the advanced course and my wife then did the Endocrine system course.

We have found that, in some instances, there can be some quite remarkable improvements in people with back and shoulder pain. We tend to give them about 5 minutes of basic VRT perhaps followed by a very short synergistic VRT (about 30 seconds on each foot) before giving them a full Reflexology treatment.

Our clients seem to like it because they keep coming back for more.

I hope this helps you.

I can only echo what Paul says.

Did the course a few months ago and I've found the synergistic bit is incredible. Had a bad back during the class and they tried it on me, I could feel lots of little pops through my back and scarily the pain subsided that night, it'd hurt badly all day!

Have tried it on a number of my case studies who have also commented about it. One who has terrible upper back / neck / shoulder pains and another who has had a bad chest. It does seem to work.

I tend to put the VRT component at either the beginning or the end if I find something specific which I think might help.

this sounds very interesting, could someone please tell me more? or what book you recommend to read? as my mum sufferes from very bad, back,shoulder and arm pain and would like to try anything that helps. also im intersted as i have scoliosis in my back and would like to find out more. sounds like you have very good results from it!

Is this the Lynne Booth book? I have it sitting waiting for me to open it up - it's nearly as good as having a big box of chocs! I bought the Jan Williamson Precision Reflexology book at the same time and have devoured that, fascinating stuff. I would love to do the course, I believe Sarah Reflex has done it and rated it very highly.

think I'll start reading Vertical REflexology tonight since no wild night out is planned

Only just saw these postings, thanks very much for the feedback which pretty much confirms what is said in the book, which is nice! I got the Precision book yesterday and have been reading that also and intend to start adding a bit into my treatments, so will see what happens!

 

[duartoord]

Hi Candie, I will be very interested to see what happens if you try out the forebrain to sacrum link on p 35 Prec. Ref.). I had someone who finds it very hard to relax and unwind stop chatting in mid sentence last Monday.

i got precision reflex and vertical reflex the other week (as we all did!). havent looked at the vert reflex yet but i have started using some of the precision stuff and very much enjoy the subtle energy work.

i need to make myself a chart for easy reference. i have been trying out the 3 way link of thyroid, pituitary and adrenal. verrrrrrry interesting.

 

[Marzhelmus]

I am going to try this out this week definately and will let you know the results. I am really keen because that is exactly what it said in the book isn' it?[X(]

Hi Siobhan

I use the forebrain/sacrum link att he start of almost every treatment and the results can be amazing! I've had many clients say "What are you doing???!!" as they suddenly feel very floaty and peaceful!

[BarJunaeie]

yes... when i was doing my first 3 way link, i didnt say and my regular client suddenly said, whats that you are doing and commented on how good it felt. another said she felt very hot (oh we had been doing a group reiki and i stuck it in at the end) but then felt it subside, as the pulsing linked actually.

 

[Clowdy]

I had a go on myself in the bath yesterday (ha ha don't laugh).

It took me a bit of time to get the right points but suddenly I felt this big pulse in my big toe (I was doing the thyroid/pituitary I think[&:] need to check book!) Anyway, there was definately something going on and my toe was 'clicking' away of it's own accord just above the joint in a kinda twitchy way.[8D] But when I looked closely you couldn't see it move at all so it was all happening inside.

It was helpful because now I know I will have to have a little fumble before I get on the points and should know when I am.

I've obviously gotta get this book!

Hi

I think the booksellers must be really pleased with this forum as we've all been buying these books after reading about them on here.

I did an evening cpd on precision reflexology, tutor showed it to us, (bought the book too) and I thought I would try the C1 to L5 link to help client relax, instant result. Stopped talking and fell asleep for rest of treatment. I need this on me at bedtime. Doesn't seem so effective on hands.

I've been using Vertical reflexology before usual treatment, so not sure yet if it is effective on its own. Will have to practice this on family. Its easier to use on yourself tho'.

It's amazing to find out what people get up to in the bath! As an aside, if any of you do Reiki try it at bathtime, it's great. I must try VR out on myself, would you advise with or without bubble bath Candie?

 

[_______]

Your call Siobhan! Personally I am a 'without' person.

I did the forebrain/sacrum link today on client. She always goes to sleep anyway, but bloomin 'eck she went out like a light the minute the treatment began. Ooooo the power.[8D]

I have done Reiki in the bath, oh yes.

Yeah, who needs one of those bath spa thingies anyway? Reiki is free

 

[Boomer Rat]

I have bought the Precision Reflex book and I am incorporating some links. A case study of mine said that this was brilliant as it made her feel very calm and relaxed during treatment. I am still in the throes of learning and for all you experienced reflexologists out there, please can you tell me how you identify Lumbar 5?

 

[omarvader]

Hi

You drop straight down from the ankle bone to L5 on the spine reflex.

I've been playing around with this and have found that when you are actually are on the right point you can 'feel' it. I am therefore going by feel until I get it right. I have felt all the things mentioned in the book, which is very encouraging...a connection between the two points, heat, etc. I also found it very useful when working on the neck reflexes. If I find that if there is a big 'click' in the joint of the big toe then I hold the neck and jaw reflexes and when I go back the 'click' has gone, which convinces me that there is something in it.
