4. Winter Protection Massage Strategy
Winter demands intensive care to protect feet from harsh conditions. Start with a warming massage oil infused with black pepper or rosemary essential oils to improve circulation in cold feet. Use firm pressure and friction movements to generate heat, focusing on the toes where circulation is often weakest. Apply deep tissue techniques around the arch and heel to alleviate stiffness caused by cold weather. Pay extra attention to the balls of the feet, where winter boots may create pressure points, using your knuckles to apply firm circular strokes. Finish by massaging a thick protective cream containing shea butter and coconut oil into the skin to create a barrier against winter's harsh elements.
