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 Lynnes 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 Lynnes 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.
