Introduction
A foot massage at the end of a long hard day is just magical.
As soon as you take your shoes off, even if you lightly massage your feet, you will know what I am talking about.
Our feet perhaps don’t get the attention they deserve even after working so hard for us.
Many reliable resources advocate the benefits of a foot massage, and many ancient practices like acupressure tell us exactly why a foot massage is excellent.
Our feet have 42 muscles, 26 bones, 33 joints, 250,000 sweat glands, and at least 50 ligaments and tendons, including 15,000 nerve endings.
There are many ways to get a foot massage done at home.
- You can do it yourself
- You can hire an expert masseuse
- You can buy an electronic foot massager machine
This blog post will address points number 1 and 2 mentioned above.
I will tell you how to do a foot massage yourself at home, and I will also list the best foot massager machines in India to choose the most suitable method for you.
Benefits of a Foot Massage
There are many benefits of a foot massage; let us look at them one by one.
- The most important benefit of a foot massage is that it makes you feel good. I have often found that a light, short foot massage always lifts my spirits.
- A 10-minute foot massage helps improve the blood circulation in our feet. Tight, pointed, and high-heeled shoes hinder blood circulation in feet, so a good foot massage at the end of the day will improve circulation in your feet.
- A foot massage relaxes and reduces anxiety.
- Promotes better sleep
- Helps alleviate swelling (edema): Your feet routinely swell up, especially during the last trimester if you are pregnant. A light manual massage helps reduce swelling and pain.
- A good foot massage helps stimulate muscles, lessens stiffness, and reduces pain in the ankles.
Let us now look at the two methods of getting a foot massage. First, let us discuss a do-it-yourself foot massage at home.
Do-it-yourself foot massage
- Get some hot water in a plastic tub
- Soak your feet in the warm water for a couple of minutes
- Sit in a comfortable chair and put your left foot on your right leg
- Put some oil or a lotion on your hand and gently rub it into your left foot include toes, arch, and heel.
- Press the knuckles of your right hand into your left foot. Knead it like you would knead bread.
- Stretch your toes apart; this relaxes the muscles
- Repeat on the other foot.
- Clean your feet with a dry towel
You will feel relaxed after a foot massage, and your feet will stay warm longer.
Now that we have covered the do-it-yourself foot massage let us check out India’s best foot massager machine.
