General reflexology will perform using a worm-like movement of the thumb and index finger on reflexive areas. Specialized reflexology will then perform by pressing the major reflexive points of the soles (solar plexus, pituitary gland, spinal cord,vertebral column, pelvis, and limbs) with the thumb and index finger. The toes and other reflexive areas of the soles, as well as the back of the feet will also massage.Pressing the thumb on the solar plexus signal the end of the intervention.
