Vita Flex means “vitality through the reflexes” and is an easy way to apply essential oils through the bottoms of the feet. It is a very important technique that can facilitate the relief of pain and suffering quickly, as well as improve physical and emotional well-being.
It helps identify different structural and health needs of the body and together with the Raindrop Technique increases the opportunity for healing and rejuvenation. Vita Flex is a specialized form of hand and foot massage that is exceptionally effective in delivering the benefits of essential oils throughout the body. It is said to have originated in Tibet thousands of years ago and was perfected in the 1960s by Stanley Burroughs long before acupuncture was popular in Western medicine.
Vita Flex is based on a complete network of reflex points that stimulate all the internal body systems. When the fingertips connect to specific reflex points with essential oils using the special Vita Flex application, an electrical charge is released that sends energy through the neuroelectric pathways.
This electrical charge follows the pathways of the nervous system to the point of breakage in the electrical circuit, usually related to an energy block caused by toxins, damaged tissues, or loss of oxygen.
More than 1,500 Vita Flex points are located throughout the body in comparison to only 365 acupuncture points used in reflexology. Vita Flex is similar to but different from reflexology. As it is used today, reflexology has a tendency to ground out the electrical charge from constant compression and rotation pressure, which causes cell separation and loss of oxygen to subdermal tissues, causing further injury.
In contrast to the steady stimulation of reflexology, Vita Flex uses a rolling and releasing motion that involves placing the fingers flat on the skin, rolling up onto the fingertips, and continuing over onto the fingernails, using medium pressure, and then sliding the hand forward about ½ inch, continually repeating this rolling and releasing technique until the specific Vita Flex area is covered. This rolling motion is repeated over the area three times.
Vita Flex corrects weakened or injured areas through the electrical reflex points, preventing further injury and stress and allowing for quicker, more efficient healing. Combining the electrical frequency of the oils and that of the person receiving the application creates rapid and phenomenal results.
This ancient technique has brought healing of a greater dimension to our modern world with its complete, scientific, workable system of controls that releases the unlimited healing power within the human body.

Vita Flex on the Hands
The hands also have specific reflex points that correspond to different organs and systems of the body. Although the hands are smaller and perhaps not as comfortable to work on, if you are in a hurry or are unable to get to the feet, there are still definite benefits in using the Vita Flex technique on the hands.
