Massage Techniques
- Wrap your hands around your feet with thumbs on the soles and fingers on the top of your foot. Start by making circular motions with your thumbs and cover the entire area of the heel, soles, ball, and toes.- Next, use your thumbs to make long, deep strokes on the soles of your feet, moving upward from the heel to the ball. If you feel some soreness in one area, spend extra time there to soften it up.
- Don’t forget your toes! Spend a good 30 seconds or more on each toe. One at a time, rub and massage your toe all the way from the base to the tip. Use small circular motions and then long strokes from base to tip, and don’t forget in-between the toes, too. Once each toe has been massaged, give them each a gentle upward tug to loosen up the joint.
- Once you’re done with your toes, focus on the foot as a whole again. Wrap both hands around your foot, like you would hold a glass of water (but with two hands). Place your thumbs on the soles again. Trace your thumbs outward, from the center of the sole to the sides, along the width of the foot. Continue doing this massage technique over the whole area of the foot. Your thumbs will be massaging the soles and sides of your feet, while your other fingers will cover the top area of the foot. This one feels great!
- Do the twist: Take your foot in your hands and gently rotate it at the ankle – first to the right and then to the left. Then twist your foot gently from side to side to loosen up the ankle even more.
- Finally, massage the entire foot again, like you did when you first rubbed the lotion or oil into it.
