Stepping Techniques

So, I'm just wondering, do stepping techniques (Shunpo, Sonido, etc.) require the use of reiryoku on the users part, and if so, can said reiryoku be absorbed via absorption technique therefore cancelling the stepping technique? I should note, I am not speaking about sealing their stepping mastery as I know that isn't allowed, but more so hindering or rather stopping their ability to use high speed movement. They would still have access to their natural physical speed and such.
