Details - Foot Massage
A massage can really help you relax, especially after a long day of work and stress. But did you know a massage has many benefits other than making us feel a bit more relaxed and relieving some of the pain?
Many immediate and longterm benefits of foot massages are supported by scientific evidence. Two to three sessions per week of reflexology are often enough to experience some of the following benefits:
Improving circulation
Humans are becoming more and more unaccustomed to a sedentary lifestyle which results in our foot muscles getting hardly any exercise. Furthermore circulation is often negatively impacted by tight and uncomfortable shoes. A 10–20 minute massage session before going to bed can greatly improve circulation in the lower extremities, which is especially important for people with diabetes.
Helps prevent foot and ankle injuries
Massaging the feet can help with joint pain and recovering after an injury,especially if it is combined with foot and ankle strengthening exercises. Massages also reduce muscle soreness and a short session three to five times a week can help to minimize your risk of injury.
