It was followed by a massage of the reflexive spot for pain reduction which is a curving area between the ankle and the heel. It is called the uterine area. It received a 10-min massage in each foot (20 mins all together). Once contractions began, the massage would also begin and once the contractions were over, the message was over too.

Once contractions began, the massage would also begin and once the contractions were over, the message was over too.
