About Light Thigh Taps

Light Thigh Taps moves relaxed hands along the tops and sides of the legs. The practical task is gentle, comfortable contact while maintaining a steady seated position.

What to focus on

Keep the taps light and the hands relaxed.
Stay within areas you can reach comfortably from the chair.

Make the movement smaller

Tap only the tops of the thighs, or omit any area that feels tender or uncomfortable.

A mistake to watch for

Striking hard or leaning far forward to reach lower areas. Use softer contact closer to the seat.

Practice time and pacing

The app assigns 30 seconds to Light Thigh Taps. Use that as a time block, with pauses whenever you need them. Move at the demonstration’s controlled pace; the timer is not a repetition target. Watch the full movement once before following along.

Set a firm chair on a nonslip surface and leave room for the arm and leg movements shown. A chair without wheels keeps the setup steady.
