USING BOTH HER THUMBS THEN BOTH HER WRISTS, SHE PRESSURES SEVERAL SYMMETRICAL POINTS UP MY CALF, AND ENDS UP WITH THE NOW USUAL PUNCHES ON THE TREATED AREA The therapist reiterates the exact same process with my left foot, and I see she works in perfect symmetry: she does EXACTLY what she did with the first foot, for the exact amount of time with the exact same pressure. After she’s done with the foot sole, she moves to the upper part of my foot, massaging her way via the outside and inside parts of my foot, pressuring a few points on her way up. She starts at the centre of my ankle, and as I’m waiting for her to start going down, she takes her hands off, puts a towel on my foot and leg. Using both her thumbs then both her wrists, she pressures several symmetrical points up my calf, and ends up with the now usual punches on the treated area.

My treatment ends with a foot stretching: Holding my ankle, she grasps the toes and stretches both my feet. Not only am I completely relaxed, but you want to know what the fun part is? The flu-like symptoms were gone half an hour later – the toes are linked to my sinuses! Plus my headache was melting away during the massage and my muscle stiffness disappeared a few hours after the treatment!
