Foot Massage – self treatment

Fun With Self  Foot Massage


Feet! For some, they’re a love-hate affair. Love to use them and often abuse them; hate paying the price after a day spent in inappropriate but fashionable footwear. Give your feet a break with this four-step foot massage. You can do it with a partner or try the massage on your own.

  • Stroke the sole of your foot in a straight line from the heel to the base of your toes. Use your thumb or the heel of your hand. Use a motion that goes back and forth across the foot.
  • Massage the area between your toes using your fingers and your thumb. Wiggle and wriggle the toes and pull each one gently. Then move to the four metatarsal bones that run along the top and middle of the foot. Moving from the base of your toes to just above your ankle, slowly massage one area at a time.
  • Using your thumb, press a spot on your sole and make small, circular movements. Repeat until you’ve covered the entire sole of your foot.
  • Still working the sole, use your pointer and middle fingers to make crosswise movements, back and forth, from the heel to the ball of your foot.

Or better yet, book yourself in for a massage with a professional! Add a paraffin dip after your treatment to soothe aching feet and it will seal in moisture in this dry, cold weather. Or try our “Pampered Soles” treatment, which is a foot and lower leg scrub, followed by a massage with a rich, hydrating cream and finished wit paraffin dip. Divine!
