A Sadhu Board is a handcrafted wooden board fitted with evenly arranged metal nails. Standing on it stimulates the reflex zones of the feet, promoting clarity, resilience, and deeper self-awareness. It combines principles of ancient nail standing practices, acupressure, and somatic coaching.
Yes—when used correctly and with awareness. The practice is not meant to cause injury. You may experience discomfort, tingling, or a warm rush of energy as your body adapts. This is part of the process. Bruising or small marks can happen, especially at the beginning, but open wounds or significant bleeding are not normal.
Avoid nail standing if you have:
Severe or uncontrolled heart conditions
Circulatory issues (including varicose veins, thrombosis, or peripheral artery disease)
Neuropathy or loss of sensation in the feet (e.g. advanced diabetes)
Open cuts, wounds, skin infections, or recent foot surgery
Osteoporosis or other severe bone fragility conditions
Pregnancy (without professional guidance)
Children and elderly individuals should only use a board under professional supervision. Always consult a doctor if you are unsure.
Place the board on a flat, stable surface.
Stand barefoot with support nearby (a wall, chair, or partner).
Begin with a few seconds, focusing on steady breathing.
Step off slowly, pausing before walking away.
Over time, gradually increase duration.
Beginners: 10–60 seconds at a time, a few sessions each week.
Intermediate: 2–5 minutes at a time, several sessions spread throughout the week.
Advanced: 10 minutes or more, every day.
The key is consistency—short, regular practice is more effective than occasional long sessions. Start small and increase gradually.
Tingling or “pins and needles” sensation
Initial discomfort that shifts into warmth or calm
Emotional release or increased focus
Better sleep, reduced stress, and improved energy over time
You become more self-aware. Is that a side effect? maybe!
However, if the instrument is misused: Mild bruising or soreness can happen, especially in the beginning. If you experience swelling, bleeding, or persistent numbness, stop and consult a healthcare provider.
Wipe nails with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use.
For deeper cleaning, use a disinfectant wipe or alcohol solution.
Avoid soaking the wood. Store in a dry place.
Check nails regularly to ensure stability and safety.
Beginner boards: wider nail spacing, slightly blunter tips—easier entry into the practice.
Advanced boards: narrower spacing, sharper points—intensifies focus and physical challenge.
Custom boards: we can adjust nail length, material, or wood type for your specific goals.
With proper care, a board will last many years. The nails are steel and fixed securely. Occasional retightening may be needed. Wooden bases may naturally age but remain functional.
