"Hello my name is Rebecca Herrick I'm at Everything Peaceful in Wilmington, North Carolina to talk about foot reflexology techniques. There are a few techniques. Two of the most common ones are called finger walking and thumb walking. And basically that's just moving your finger in an inch worm type of pattern and you start at the, wherever you want to focus on in that part of the reflexology treatment, and using pretty good amount of pressure you're just inching your way up by moving that first joint of your finger or your thumb. So that would be thumb walking. Finger walking you can see a little bit differently just by again adding that pressure and inching along the different areas of the foot that you're focusing on. Always in reflexology you want to focus on feeling for those little crystals and breaking them up using your techniques to do that, really getting deep into the foot. You can do something called the C stroke which is where you have your finger and your thumb in the shape of a C and that way you're working on both sides of the foot at once. Those are a few techniques for foot reflexology."
