Yes, but that’s a super quick job, and they generally stay open so you are continually grounded. Once you get the hang of putting your mind in these points, you can check them in a split second of mindfulness.
That works, If you feel they’re not opening or blocked/restricted, you can also use swordfingers from the top of your foot aiming through that point to gently sort of flush it, by intending energy to flow from the tips of your fingers through.
The only thing I would say, is not to stress about it, tension in the muscles restricts energy flow. A good ‘trick’ if you’re a bit tense is to simply smile - activate the parasympathetic system and relaxes you, also raises your vibrations 
Press your foot with a fingertip - the points are always the more tender spots, you can energetically feel it’s right, just trust yourself.
