It’s June which means it’s nearly Fathers’ Day

On Sunday, 19th June it will be Fathers’ Day so now is a good time to get organised and plan something special to treat your Dad. Rather than stick to the usual ‘safe’ presents of chocolate, alcohol and gadgets (or is that just my Dad?) how about getting something totally different that he’d never expect in a month of Fathers’ Days. Yes, I’m talking about reflexology vouchers.
Reflexology is not just for women, men love it too. The male reflexology clients I have treated have come for a variety of reasons:
- back pain
- plantar fasciitis
- insomnia
- asthma
- high blood pressure
- but above all, because they are stressed out and need to relax.
All the male clients I have seen have found their reflexology treatments very relaxing and they have enjoyed stepping out of their busy lives to take some time for themselves.
If you would like to order reflexology vouchers for your Dad you can do so online and I will post the vouchers either to you or directly to your father. All vouchers are on printed card with matching white envelopes.
Terms & Conditions
- Before buying my vouchers please look at my opening hours to make sure they will fit in with the voucher recipient’s free time!
- Vouchers will be valid until 19th September 2011.

I had an interesting phone call from someone yesterday offering to send me a CD of some relaxing music he has composed himself. Apparently the music will be of his piano playing with a strings background.
Anyway, he asked if he could send me a free copy to try and if I don’t like it I’ll have to post it back to him otherwise I can buy the CD from him for £10. I thought it was worth a try so I’m looking forward to receiving my copy in the post this week.
I’m looking forward to hearing it and finding out what my clients think too. I’ll report back on my blog next week.
Comments OffWhat is vertical reflexology?

Vertical reflexology is reflexology while you’re in a weight-bearing position; for example, standing up for VRT on your feet, or pressing your hands onto a hard surface for VRT on your hands.
In my opinion it’s not as relaxing as conventional reflexology because of needing to be vertical to receive it, however it’s great to use in situations such as:
- you’re out and about and there’s no reclining chair to use
- for some reason it’s uncomfortable for you recline. For example, you might be heavily pregnant and unable to lie back as it makes you feel light-headed or perhaps you’re suffering with sciatica and find it more comfortable to be upright
- you’re short on time. A full vertical reflexology treatment can take only 20 minutes because the reflexologist is only working on the tops and the sides of the feet
- you are suffering from a chronic condition and would like VRT incorporated into your conventional reflexology treatment for an extra boost
I’ve been asked many questions about vertical reflexology. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions:
If a vertical reflexology treatment is shorter than conventional reflexology and you’re not working the soles of the feet then surely a vertical reflexology treatment is not as good as a full reflexology treatment?
It’s true that the reflexologist isn’t working the soles of the feet, however the therapist is using the weight of the body to help work the reflex points and the reflexes on the soles of the feet can be accessed on the tops and sides of the feet instead.
Is vertical reflexology as effective as conventional reflexology?
Many therapists believe vertical reflexology to be more effective. The thinking behind this is that when you are putting weight on your feet or hands the nerves are more sensitive than they would be in a relaxed, non-weight bearing situation; therefore the response from stimulating the reflexes may be carried more quickly by the already sensitised nervous system. There is a more detailed description of this on Lynne Booth’s (the founder of VRT) website.
Could I have vertical reflexology as well as conventional reflexology?
Yes. You could have 5 minutes of VRT before or after a slightly shortened conventional reflexology treatment. Which way round you do this is up to you and your reflexologist. You may prefer to have VRT at the start so you can then lie back and enjoy the rest of your treatment or you may prefer to have it at the end as your reflexologist may choose to put extra VRT emphasis on imbalanced reflexes they have found during the conventional treatment that perhaps neither of you were aware of at the start.
If you would like to give VRT a try, please contact me to book a vertical reflex therapy treatment or ask for VRT to be incorporated into your next treatment.
