  • 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.
