Foot Massage
Energize Your Feet Today!
There are many foot massage lovers out there knowing about
the essential fundamental rules can help to give general tension
relieving foot rubs. Undeniably, a good foot massage is sure
to make the feet feel relaxed and comfortable.
First of all, you need to keep two or three towels handy
and adequate amount of lotions and creams.
For feet with rough calluses and hard skin, a rich cream
would be ideal and works better than a hand lotion or oil,
though they will all work, to different degrees. Some prefer
to use creams scented with eucalyptus or mint, both of which
work wonders for refreshing tired feet. Another popular choice
is tea tree oil, or if you wish to make your own concoction,
mix a few drops of essential oil with unscented creams.
Secondly, it is very important to make sure that the feet
is absolutely clean before massage, so, so soak the feet with
a cup of Epsom salt that has been dissolved in a gallon of
warm water because it will help to de-stress you give a foot
massage. Additionally, you need to make sure that your toes
and feet are completely dried, even between the toes of the
feet.
When you massage the feet, always start on one foot at a
time and always start massaging the cream with care into the
whole foot, starting from top and right down to the bottom
and finally to the toes and ankles.
After that, work deeper by applying strokes around the feet
slowly work one’s way up to the ankles and then on to
the soles of the feet.
Assert more pressure and continue by going over the sole
again, taking care to apply more pressure on points that may
be experiencing chronic pain. When you are massaging the toes,
use gentle and circular motions and stretch the feet a bit
on your way of rubbing them.
Use adequate cream and rub the feet gently, then, you can
finish off the foot massage by repeating the all-over massage
that was done at the beginning.
Make sure that the soles of the feet are dried completely
when the foot massage is completed to accidental slipping
and once the massage is over, the feet will once again, feel
fresh and soft.
