"The only thing worse than 'Floor is Lava' is probably 'Floor is LEGO Brick'. LEGO bricks are famously torturous to step on. The studs, the sharp corners, the unforgiving plastic, all of these combine into creating something that feels like modern day torture. Step on a lego brick with enough body-weight and that thing practically digs into your tissue, causing probably one of the most painful experiences according to the internet. However, what if there was a 'right' way of stepping on LEGO bricks?"
"No, I'm not talking about some mind-over-body nonsense where you overcome your ability to feel pain. LEGO builder eat.sleep.build.repeat. designed a foot reflexology mat using just LEGO bricks, tapping into ancient eastern healing techniques to create a stimulating mat that helps you boost blood flow to your legs and to even other parts of the body. Made from just 820 bricks, this piece, titled 'How to Step on a LEGO Brick?' is a rather fun and informative hat-tip to old culture,"
LEGO studs, sharp corners and hard plastic cause intense pain when stepped on, but a designer created a foot reflexology mat from 820 LEGO bricks to repurpose that sensation. The mat uses color-coded zones mapped to different body parts and includes a coded legend identifying each zone. The concept applies ancient eastern reflexology techniques, claiming that pressure applied to specific foot points can boost blood flow, aid recovery and influence other body areas. The piece is titled 'How to Step on a LEGO Brick?' and pairs playful design with a wellness-oriented concept, not medical advice.
