FAQ
Who should avoid?
Open wounds, severe athlete’s foot, acute infections, or recent ankle sprains—wait until fully healed. If you have circulatory issues, consult your doctor.
How much pressure is right?
Start at 2–3/5 and increase if comfortable. Numbness or sharp pain is a signal to reduce pressure.
