4. Therapeutic Massage Techniques
A good foot massage not only relieves tension but also promotes relaxation, benefiting your entire body. Start by applying a generous amount of lotion or massage oil to your feet. Using your thumbs, make small, firm circles along the arch of your foot, moving from heel to toe. Focus on pressure points in the ball of the foot and heel. Use your knuckles to apply deeper pressure to particularly stiff areas, and gently pull and rotate each toe. This massage technique improves circulation, reduces muscle tension, and can even help alleviate headaches and stress. Spend at least 5 to 10 minutes on each foot, paying extra attention to any areas that feel especially tight or sore.
