When working on someones feet, you must have their knee and foot supported at all times whilst working on their feet.
1: BEGIN WITH CLEAN FEET. A Foot Cleanser in warm water is a wonderful way to de-stress before you begin the foot massage. Dry thoroughly, paying attention to between the toes.
2: COMPLETELY MASSAGE ONE FOOT at a time, then do the other. Begin by massaging the Foot Balm Cream or one of our Foot Massage Oils Refresh Foot Massage Oil or Calming Foot Massage Oil rubbing gently into the whole foot, top and bottom, toes to ankle. End this portion with strokes going from your toes to your ankles. Always stroke towards the heart.
3: WORK A LITTLE MORE DEEPLY for these next few strokes. Put both hands around the feet with your fingers on the bottom and your thumbs on the top. Move your thumbs between the tendons (those cords you feel on the top) smoothly and firmly from the ankle toward the toes. Make long strokes rather than short, jerky ones. Work with enough pressure so it's not ticklish, but not so deep it feels like a gouge. Firm strokes will work the aresa of problem much beter.
4: WORK ON THE SOLES of the feet. Using your thumbs, make circular motions that cover the entire surface of the bottom of the foot, moving from the base of your toes toward your heel. Keep the pressure of the circles steady and even. Use a bit more firmness on the heels, the skin here is tougher.
5: CONTINUE with a little firmer pressure, going back over the entire sole. Give a few extra strokes to any area where there is chronic pain--the ball of the foot, or the arch, or perhaps around the ankles. Do not dig deeply; this is supposed to be relaxing!
5: MASSAGE YOUR TOES with gentle, circular motions, using a bit of a stretch. Then rotate them. Take all the toes together by holding them with your thumb underneath and all your fingers on top then gently rotate them three times one direction, then three times reversed. Next rotate very gently each one individually.
7: FINISH the massage with an all-over gentle massage you in the begin with. Keep the pressure of your strokes moving from the toes toward the ankle and around this area. 8: Lastly SHAKE THE ENERGY loose from your own hands. This Releases built up eneagy.
9: Whipe the excess cream or oil from the feet with a towl to prevent the feet sliping when walking.
