    Great tip on how not to strain your thumb as a practitioner. Also nice to see different version of this great practice that I am passionate about. I would say your version of the demonstration was most likely the earlier version known as "Zone Therapy", where you are working your way up in each individual zones.
    PS: If anyone in Vancouver would like to be demo model reach out to me.

    Important to note that that is a reflexology style as he said defiantly not the traditional way. We raise the foot with a bolster it makes it easier to access the foot and takes the strain off plus you can see the foot better. Lot of opinions of wether it works or not but I do think that it's a great way to massage a foot and covers a lot more area in detail than just a regular foot effleurage

    Thanks for this. I have my first reflexology client tomorrow, and, I have to admit, I rolled my eyes through this entire unit of my massage school’s curriculum. I mean-seriously, if different parts of your foot corresponded to different parts of your body, wouldn’t you have to be extra careful about avoiding the “genital” area of the foot (which, mysteriously, doesn’t show up on any of the maps). Anyway, this is a good, practical way of delivering a reflexology treatment without all the mumbo-jumbo.
