 PAIN AND MOBILITY MASTERCLASS with LYNNE BOOTH

The feed-back from the recent Pain and Mobility Masterclass with Lynne Booth was extremely positive and the day passed quickly with new techniques following in quick succession during the many practical sessions. It was important to examine the definitions of pain and how to help the client cope, often by means of self-help VRT or hand reflexology. The four reflexologists who attended enjoyed learning new specialized techniques and spent time on the very effective new VRT Pelvic Balancing and VRT Signalling   techniques recently developed by Lynne, that can be used on the reclining or weight-bearing feet (or hands). Pelvic Balancing involves precise working of  the heel to balance the body through the pelvis, lower lumbar spine and abdominal reflexes.   

VRT Signalling was developed from Lynne’s work with professional footballers, who often experience one-sided injuries and conditions, we experimented by locating precise  reflex points while using  alternating pressures to connect  to Zonal Triggers and nail-reflexes.  Results over a period of time suggest that healing is accelerated as the inured sided appears to mimic the healthy side of the body.  Other therapies such as kinesiology, Emotional Freedom techniques (EFT) and particularly Nerve reflexology were also briefly shared on Lynne’s course. Working   on individual fingers for limb joint pain can bring almost instant relief in some cases.

This exclusive Pain & Mobility Master Class for a maximum of four people, run by Lynne Booth, the originator of Vertical Reflex Therapy (VRT), is available for all reflexologists who have attended an authorised VRT course.  There is a maximum of four attendees only, to ensure a high level of personalised instruction where specialist skills will be learned and practised throughout the day.  Most therapists deal on a daily basis with conditions where pain in many forms and mobility issues are presented.  The course will cover a wide range and combination of techniques from all VRT courses plus other reflexology skills that Lynne Booth has learned or developed over the years.  There are practical and theoretical sessions throughout the day. Techniques from the full VRT repertoire are used and taught.

SUB-FERTILITY MASTERCLASS with CHRISTINE ROSCOE

The first Sub-Fertility Masterclass was held on Friday Feb 23 2007 in Bristol and was a huge success! Four people came together with tutor Chris Roscoe and the programme included looking at the Endocrine and Reproductive Systems, the causes, tests and treatments for sub-fertility. We also discussed the emotional aspects of infertility and the 4 month Pre-Conception Plan for couples which looks at their lifestyles and aims to boost their general and fertility health. Our role as Reflexologists in giving support and information to clients was examined as it can be so vital. We can provide the humane and compassionate side of treatment which can counterbalance the more physical and mechanical medical treatment.

There was plenty of practical work too. The very powerful VRT Endocrine routine was learned and also the technique of balancing the Chakras on the feet. The day was very holistic in its approach and so there were aspects from other therapies practised, such as Precision Reflexology links to the Endocrine and Reproductive points. We also looked at how magnet therapy, crystal healing, colour therapy and visualization can all help to empower the client and aid success.

We enjoyed a sociable and tasty lunch together (Chris is a keen cook) and the whole day was lively and stimulating. Roll on April 20 and the next Sub-Fertility Masterclass!

Overview: Working in two pairs, with one highly experienced tutor in these popular masterclasses enabled plenty of one-to-one instruction as well as dialogue, questions and discussion that would be impossible in larger groups. The classes combine the best of structured theoretical and practical work in a relaxed but very productive setting. The whole spectrum of the VRT repertoire was available regardless of what courses the participants had previously attended. Participants also benefited from the wealth of reflexology knowledge that Chris and Lynne have developed over the years. Copious handouts and an excellent lunch, that were included in the price, gave the attendees a different and very special day of tuition. More are planned in the future.
