7. Ball of Foot Massage
The ball of foot massage targets the area under significant pressure when standing or walking. Begin by pressing the padded area directly behind your toes with firm thumbs. Work in small, deep circles, paying attention to any particularly tender spots. This area often becomes tense from wearing uncomfortable shoes or high heels. Spend time working across the entire width of the foot, from the base of your big toe to your little toe. This technique helps relieve pressure points that can cause discomfort while walking and prevents conditions like metatarsalgia. It also improves flexibility in the forefoot joints.
