How to massage your own feet!

The following covers how to give yourself a foot massage to keep your feet and toes feeling wonderful.

• The first step in giving yourself a massage is to soak your feet for 15 minutes in warm water and Epsom salts to relax your muscles and warm them up before you massage them. This is an important step as massaging cold muscles can cause muscle strain and discomfort.
• Dry your feet up and then prop one foot on top of your other leg with the sole turned in towards you
• Spread a nice moisturising cream or massage oil onto your foot. With your thumbs massage in a deep circulation motion starting just behind your toes and working towards your heel. Do small areas at a time.
• Then turn your foot over and massage the top of your foot with the same slow, circular motion.
• Now it time to turn your attention to your little tooties. Give each toe a slow, gentle tug and then wiggle it gently from side to side.
• Repeat process with other foot
• Please note if you have an area in your foot that aches and is sore it is properly being cause by a muscle knot so  before you massage the area, press down firmly on the area with your thumbs and hold for several seconds and then release.

• Pinch gently along the outside of the sole of your foot.
• Lightly slap the soles of your feet or pound gently with a lost feet and then rub your foot with a sweeping motion
