THE VACUFLEX SYSTEM

The Vacuflex system combines a vacuum boot therapy, together with a vacuum cup treatment which addresses the acupuncture meridians. This dynamic treatment gives you the combined benefit of a full reflexology treatment, plus the stimulation of all the major meridians in one half-hour session. The specially constructed felt boots used for the vacume boot therapy apply a gradual and carefully controlled pressure to the feet and ankles. When the boots are removed the reflexologist is able to observe the patients physical condition at that time, therefore providing information that can assist in identifying blockages in the bodies systems.

REFLEXOLOGY/MERIDIAN THERAPY & VACUFLEX

Reflexology is a complementary therapy which is used to help heal the whole person and not just the existing symptoms. It is primarily practised on the feet but can also be performed on the hands and other areas of the body.

Reflexology is thought to have its origins in ancient China and Egypt but was only introduced into the modern day Western world by Dr William Fitzgerald at the beginning of the 20th century. He applied ten zones or energy channels to the surface of the body which were considered to be paths along which a person's vital energy or 'energy force' flowed. The zones ended at the hands and feet and so the application of pressure on these zones could relieve pain elsewhere in the body. This 'zone therapy' was further developed by Eunice Ingham in 1930 into what is today known as reflexology.

Years of research and practical application in reflexology have shown that the body's anatomy is exactly reflected in the soles of the foot. Imagine a person standing in front of you with the sole of a foot superimposed behind them, each organ in their body will be reflected in the foot, for example the head area is represented by the toes, and the pelvic organs by the heel.

The energy flow in the body, that penetrates every cell, follows certain paths connecting various organs and glands with various pressure points in the hands or feet. Pain or tenderness in these points can indicate a blockage in the energy flow and a possible illness in the related area in the body. By massaging the reflex point with the fingers and thumb it is possible to clear the energy channel, stimulate the flow of energy and thus heal any damage in the affected area.
