Leg Massage Tutorial 4/4

This part was so hard to translate, but I hope I did allright though. Let me know if there are grammar or other mistakes or if you need help figuring this part out.


Foot

1.   Hand-over-handeffleurage on top of the foot (crosswise on tissue)
   -   You have to perform a crosswise effleurage.
   -   Don’t use two hands simultaneously, but alternately
   -   3x3
   -   After the 9th finish by returning with a gentle touch and two hands at the same time.

2.   Effleurage ankle
   -   Use only your middle and ring finger for this.
   -   Then stroke underneath the ankle with them.
   -   Go back with a gentle touch, the indexfinger needs to go above the ankle, the other fingers underneath.

3.   Frictions 1x
    -   Use your middle and ring finger.
    -   You have to perform frictions on 3 places on the soft part just below the ankle.
    -   Return with a gentle touch.

4.   Hand-over-handeffleurage on top of the foot (crosswise on tissue)
   -   See 1.

5.   Rotations foot (bottom/sole, not on top of the foot)
   -   Pick the foot up with 2 hands.
   -   Your thumbs should be on the bottom/sool of the foot
   -   Make a rotational movement (circles) with the thumb
   -   It has to be performed in the direction toe to heel.

6.   Brush foot (sole)
   -   Form a fist with the hand that’s on the inside.
   -   Your other hand should be on top of the foot for support.
   -   With both hands at the same time stroke from toes to the heal in one movement.
   -   Don’t apply pressure with the upper hand only the one on the bottom of the foot.

7.   Modelling foot
   -   "Breaking metatarsals' (not literally of course)
   -   The movement looks a bit like intermittent pressure: take up the foot with the fingers (pinky, index, middle, ring finger) and you put your thumbs together on top of the foot, only you shouldn’t exercise pressure for 8 seconds
   -   You let your thumbs glide off to the side of the foot. drains thumbs down (to the side)
   -   You have to do this at three places: behind toes, right foot and ankle on

8.   Loosening of the ankle
   -   Pick up the ankle with the hand that’s on the outside
   -   Grasp the foot with the hand that’s on the inside, hold it between your fingers (they should be on top of the foot) and thumb (on the sole)
   -   If you have trouble with the way you should keep your hands then think of a crosswise effleurage, only now your hand (the one on the outside) should be upside down supporting the ankle.
   -   You have to let the foot make circles, three times towards the inside, three times towards to the outside.  The order doesn’t matter.
