Foot Massage: Alleviate Hurts More Effectively

Indeed, you may ask, why do I need a foot massage

. All of us, all day long standing, running, lifting, walking - our poor feet. They support us all day, clad in heavy shoes and socks, restricting circulation, keeping air from our feet. Why not feel the human touch of a foot massage. Not just sitting in a chair where we insert a quarter for our feet to be shaken around, but someone genuinely qualified in making us feel better. I highly recommend giving the gift of foot massage, either to yourself or a loved one!

Chinese records dating back 5,000 years document the use of foot massage. The ancient Hindus, Persians and Egyptians, as well as the Japanese, Romans and Egyptians applied forms of massage for many ailments; and even Hippocrates wrote papers recommending the use of rubbing and friction for joint and circulatory problems.

In our modern world, we are used to running to our pharmacist for relief, and to our traditional M.D. for a cure. However, there are also many massage therapists exist in the United States. Not only have we borrowed from different cultures, but we have created some of our own. One form of massage is foot massage.

As with all forms of massage, there are a variety of foot massage techniques. Thai Foot Massage or reflexology is one form. Reflexology originates from an ancient Chinese system and is based on the notion that there are nerve endings in the soles of the feet that correspond to all of the organs of the body such as the liver, kidney or spleen. The gentle and repeated massage of these pressure points stimulates and detoxifies the internal organs and improves circulation to the problem area.

Stress relief is the major benefit experienced by everyone who has a foot massage. There are even some studies that prove that stress levels can be decreased, and the overall health of the body and mind can increase. Numerous medical studies show that decreased stress levels improve the overall health of the body and mind, mentally and physically as well. It is always better to have a massage therapist do it, but if this is impossible, it possible to purchase a foot massage unit designed for use in the home! Why not try it?
