Relaxation Techniques for Ball of Foot | Reflexology

[Music] there are two things we can do with the balls of the feet uh you could do what we call a lung press uh which is a relaxation technique and you can also do metatarsal movers which is another relaxation technique so with a lung press you're going to want to make a fist and you're going to actually be using this the these sides of your of your fingers this is what's going to be making contact with the ball of their feet you'll take the thumb of your left hand and you're just going to put it through there through that uh Fist and then your other fingers are going to be what secure the dorsam or the top of that foot so we're going to go ahead and we're going to place our our fist on the ball of the foot and we're just going to secure it with the fingers and from there we have a very like solid base and you're just going to in a wave like like motion you're just going to push forward in a press and you're going to pull back and as you pull back this hand will go a little bit more up in order to accommodate that um that kind of ripple effect so again we press forward we come up we kind of lift and then we do a wave of their foot towards us so you do this a couple times you could also uh reverse it and go in a reverse wave and do both of the feet for the lung press you could also do the metatarsal movers uh which is also a relaxation technique you're um securing the metatarsal heads with your thumbs uh you are just right beside one another and then you have your fingers on the dorsal aspect of the foot which is the top of the foot and from there you're just kind of going back and forth so you're going towards them and then towards yourself and the towards yourself is just a release so that's a metatarsal mover and you do it bilaterally you do it in both feet
