Relax Your Feet With Reflexology

Foot massage is actually a field of treatment and massage called Reflexology / Reflexology. Reflexology is a diagnosis and treatment system originating from Chinese medicine, which is based on the point references of the meridians passing through certain parts of the body on the soles of your feet. In other words, certain points on your feet make various organs work better. The massage applied to these points will relax not only your feet but also every part of your body to a certain extent.

Does Foot Massage Work?

Of course, Reflexology is an experimental type of treatment based on alternative medicine and its past is based on China. In other words, there is no guarantee that foot massage will be completely good for aches and pains. However, considering that the soles of your feet are the part with the most nerve endings in your body, it would be inappropriate to underestimate foot massage.

How to Do Foot Massage?

It's normal to feel aches or pains in your feet after a long standing shift. As we wrote before, the most nerve cells are found in your feet, and this causes your feet to ache and ache due to the pressure on your feet all day long. Since the load on the feet will tighten the foot veins, there is not enough blood circulation in your feet. When all these factors are added to an airless environment, your feet will not be comfortable. Specially designed orthopedic - anatomical Clogs like Dr Mery come into play at this point. While the special soles relax the soles of your feet, the breathable closed part in the front prevents your feet from being stuffy. As a Dr Mery Clogs owner, you can take the first step for your foot comfort. The second step is simple foot massage techniques that you can apply when the soles of your feet start to ache and ache. You can follow the steps below for a relaxing foot massage.

Issues to Consider

When massaging your feet, be careful not to overstretch your muscles if you are over 65 years old. Gently apply the techniques we will describe below and remember that these are just massage techniques.

Top of Feet

To relax your feet, start the foot massage from the top of your feet. Rub the top of your foot by pressing it lightly. This will increase blood circulation in your feet, warm your feet and relax your muscles. Relaxing the muscles means reducing the muscle tension in your feet and relaxing your feet. You can also do the same scrubbing on your ankles and toes. Apply the scrub to each part of your foot that hurts, until your muscles are relaxed.

Rotation of the Ankles

Other parts as well as the soles of your feet need massage. Especially the ankles are one of the important points of the foot that carry the weight. This part of your foot also needs massage and relaxation. Grab your ankles with your hands and turn them slightly to the right/left. This movement will also reduce the tension in the muscles and allow your ankles to relax. Sabo Slippers Models, which you can find Dr Mery, Orion and many other types on Sabomar.com, are orthopedically produced to reduce the pressure on your ankles.

Toes Are Also Important

The toes are one of the most sensitive parts of your foot, after the sole. The first thing you need to do to relax your toes is to gently pull them up. Then gently rub the top of your toes. Finally, squeeze your toes and release. All these movements will warm and relax the muscles in your toes, one of the most sensitive parts of your feet.

Foot Arches

The arch of the foot is the part between the end of the toes and the heel. This part is usually slightly higher than the ground. So it encounters tension. Apply gentle pressure to relax the muscles in this area. When you do this, the muscles that have been stressed all day will relax and relax as we mentioned above. The arch of the foot is one of the parts that are subjected to tension in a foot. In order not to overstress this part, slippers suitable for the anatomical structure of your feet are generally used. Many anatomical slippers from Dr Mery and Orion Brand will make this part of your foot comfortable. Sabo Wooden Clogs and Dr Mery Wooden Clogs models will also make your foot arches comfortable. Bacterial disorders in the feet are usually caused by the toes and the parts between them not breathing. Clogs models such as Dr Mery Sabo Clogs and Berkemann Sabo Clogs have a closed front part that breathes, so they prevent your feet from sweating and suffocating. This means saying goodbye to foot skin diseases.
