4. Targeting Specific Pressure Points
Understanding and targeting specific pressure points can transform a basic foot massage into a therapeutic intervention. Many pressure points on the foot correspond to various organs and systems. For stress relief, locate and stimulate the solar plexus point in the center of the foot. For spinal alignment, focus on the inner edge point, and for heart and chest benefits, target the ball of the foot. Each point requires different levels of pressure and techniques for optimal effectiveness. Spend extra time on points that feel more sensitive, as these often indicate areas that need attention. Work through these points systematically, starting at the toes and moving down to the heel. Keep track of which points provide the most relief for specific concerns, such as headaches, digestive issues, or sleep difficulties.
