A reflexology chart was used as a source
of reference. The lit tubes fitted within
the parameters of the chart and were raised
out above the sole so that the wearer could
apply pressure in that region of the foot.
This was achieved by increasing the height
of the plastic battery and light insert
and giving the raised area a texture so
that the act of walking would be "healing".
The heel is placed around the small intestinal
area of the foot. The ball of the foot point
is near the solar plexus area - an important
point as it is a 'grounding' reflex and
is excellent to stimulate for relaxation.
