Through the sophistication of modern technology, but without losing the human touch factor, the Vacuflex Concepts maximizes the body’s own healing potential, by combining, in one treatment, two of the world’s most ancient and powerful natural methods of holistic practice, Reflexology and Acupuncture.

The Vacuflex Concepts combines a vacuum boot therapy, together with a vacuum cup treatment of 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 apply a gradual and carefully controlled pressure, which is monitored on a gauge.

The Vacuflex method has proven far more comfortable for those people who have a low pain threshold or who have intensely sensitive reflexes due to severe congestion in the body. During the treatment with the Vacuflex boots the client may feel a “strong” pressure in some of the reflexes and a “prickly” sensation in others, as opposed to the sharp pain often experienced during a manual treatment.

Possibly the most remarkable feature of the Vacuflex Concepts is the discoloration appearing on the plantar and dorsal regions of the feet when the boots are removed. This is caused by the pressure of the boots and highlights areas of reflex and meridian congestion. The colors remain for approximately 30 seconds during which time the reflexologist can “read” and “interpret” what is reflected.

This visual impression is of the utmost importance in firstly, tracing the disease pathways, as it will reflect energy conditions as they are at that present moment in time. Secondly, it will monitor the changes in the color patterns as elimination takes place with each treatment. The colors that appear are blue, red, yellow and white.

The next stage of the treatment involves stimulating acupuncture points along the meridians on the arms and lower legs. This stimulation is applied using suction pads operated by the same vacuum system as the boots.

Over the years therapists have used this system for sports injuries such as a sprained ankle. Treatments can be administered as often as once or even twice a day, over a period of 3 - 7 days and improvements are great, even reducing a severely swollen foot to the extent that a shoe can be worn again within a week.

Clients who have suffered a stroke are treated with the Vacuflex Concepts with very pleasing results. Back problems are also very effectively treated with the Vacuflex Concepts, as is the case with a wide range of additional related and non-related complaints experienced by the patient. It is a pleasant and gentle therapy, which is suitable for the most sensitive patients.

Please note that use of the machine is not mandatory in this course. It is an optional method of treatment and prior training in traditional finger pressure reflexology is a prerequisite for anyone wishing to use the Vacuflex Concepts.
