As I was Feeling a bit tense I thought some tips on how to give yourself a foot massage might be useful and beneficial. Give it a try to help yourself relax and unwind.
Easy Foot Massage
A great way to start a foot massage is to soak your feet in a bowl of warm, scented water.
Fill a large bowl with warm water and add a couple of drops of your favourite essential oil (lavender and peppermint are excellent). Put your feet in and luxuriate for as long as you like before starting the foot massage.
Use the photos provided to help you learn how to perform self massage.
1: Rest the sole of your right foot on your left knee and sandwich your foot between your hands, with your fingers
facing forwards. Rub your hands backwards and forwards along your foot
to warm the whole area.
2: Support the heel of your right foot with your left hand and clasp the toes with your right hand. Energetically
squeeze, extend, and flex your toes to increase their flexibility.
3: Still supporting your right foot with your left hand, massage your toes with your right hand by squeezing, twisting, and rolling each one in turn with your fingers.
4: Place one thumb on top of the other, using your fingers to support your foot, and make deep, circular thumb pressures over the sole of your foot. Stroke the area. Repeat the whole sequence (steps 1-4) on your left foot
