It would be difficult for any Firebender besides Aang and Zuko during the course of ATLA, and maybe afterwards to preform some kind of heat therapy. Firebending during Sozin's conquest was shown to the Fire Kingdom and the rest of the world to be fueled by fury, anger, and lust. How can one possibly harness such emotions to preform such a feat? We'll have to see in LoK if the true meaning of its art is taught to and accepted by Firebenders.

Also, about the possibility of vacuums in Airbending, using them in combat would be against Air Nomad teachings because ripping out the air from one's lungs and exposing a living being to a vacuum (which can cause ebullism, suffocation, and all sorts of nasty things) would contradict the defensive nature of the art they always presented and preached. But, maybe Tenzin won't show Airbending like that to his children and/or Korra. This is just speculation, and I am assuming that these laws of nature apply to the Avatar Universe when they may not, but this is getting me a little more hyped for the possibilities of sub-bending techniques and new methods of teaching particular arts that could be explored. Sorry if this was a little too long :)
