Reflexology Tip- Traction


It counteracts the compression of the foot that happens each time you take a footstep.

Traction is a simple way to relieve stress. It is good for relaxing the foot overall. It counteracts the compression of the foot that happens each time you take a footstep.

And although simple it takes a little focus on technique to do it right. I have a lot of wives tell me that their husbands don't do it the way I do it. All I can figure out is that they are just pulling their legs.

Hold the foot firmly with one hand wrapped around the ankle and the other hand wrapped around the forefoot. Pull it towards you gently and gradually. Hold for 10-15 seconds.

Learning tip- "While you move the ball of the foot towards you with the working handpull tha ankle with the holding hand."
