Reflexology Pressure Technique BenchmarksTable
Key parameters and target values for quality assurance.
| Parameter | Target | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Pressure | Comfortable | No sharp pain |
| Duration | 15-60 min | Adjust to goal |
| Frequency | 1-3× weekly | Allow recovery |
Thumb-Walk Slowly
Use steady thumb-walking cadence — rushing reduces precision and increases practitioner strain.
Client Feedback
Check in every few minutes — comfortable pressure should never feel sharp or burning.
Contraindications
Avoid reflexology on areas with open wounds, fractures, or active infections.
Safety Notes
- Apply firm but never painful pressure — pain indicates too much force.
- Avoid reflexology on areas with open wounds, fractures, or active infections.
