Vertical Reflexology Technique (VRT) is a unique method of weight-bearing reflexology which is briefly applied to the dorsal feet and hands. It is adaptable for the standing, seated and reclining client. This multi award-winning method can support all systems of the body and appears to precisely target and stimulate the energetic reflex response. It was discovered and developed by Lynne Booth in the early 1990’s and her accredited classes have been taught by Lynne and her VRT tutors to over 10,000 reflexologists internationally.
