Video Transcript

"In this clip I'm going to be talking about the upper half of the foot. Here in the ball it seems like we put a lot of pressure so I'm going to be going in with my thumbs very softly, I'm not going to be overdoing it, I'm just going to be going around and around the big ball of the foot. Now I'm going to go over it and I'm going to be pressing and even with my fingers very lightly I'm just going to go around the ball of the foot, very lightly. Now you can use tools for this. There are a lot of tools that are sold in stores. There are the ones made of wood with the two balls at the end that you can purchase. It saves your fingers a lot too. Now I am just going to keep going around the ball of the foot especially where the bunions might be coming out. I am double pressing with my thumb to avoid over-usage and it's like I'm not carving on it but I'm just rubbing on it all the way around, all the way around."
