VRT – Vertical Reflex Therapy Booth method
VRT is a new and advanced technique which can be used in conjunction with traditional reflexology or as a short effective treatment on its own. Traditional reflexology is normally practiced with the client lying down in a relaxed position, whereas VRT concentrates on working on the feet whilst in a weight bearing position gaining additional benefits and effectiveness from working on the deeper reflexes. VRT approaches the plantar reflexes via the dorsal area. The theory of the effectiveness of VRT is that the body in this vertical position is more alert with the heart pumping oxygenated blood to the organs thus increasing vitality. VRT is useful in the treatment of a range of problems including orthopaedic ailments, asthma, and irritable bowel syndrome. During the second day the group was introduced to the concept of Synergistic Reflexology which is simultaneously working two corresponding reflexes one in the hand and one in the foot. This can produce more instant and effective results. Helen Anderson

Lynne Booth is a qualified reflexologist with many years experience. In 1998 she was awarded an honorary fellowship in Advanced Reflexology Techniques for services to reflexology. She has spent many years developing this therapy whilst working with the elderly and chronically sick. She regularly lectures on VRT in Britain and around the world. 
They were two very intensive days of training, where we were taught some of the history of Precision Reflexology and lots of practical work in which we acquired a new reflexology tool that could be defined as intuitive, powerful, creative, and giving the reflexologist freedom of action. With the linking technique a light pressure is used because we are working with the subtle energy allowing the body achieve balance, if you use too much pressure the link is not defined and the energy doesn´t flow, instead we hold the links as if it were a feather. The focus is on a feeling of relaxation, it allows for creativity, with Precision Reflexology we are working with the true nature of the person and their own energy is used to bring balance, the client directs the treatment not the therapist.
