Benefit
We can say about this type of massage that it is slightly different in impact from other types of massage. Most massage techniques work directly on the muscles. By performing this procedure, in addition to the effect on the muscles, there is a beneficial effect on the entire body. This is explained by the fact that in the area of the feet there are a large number of biologically active points, which in turn are responsible for the condition of the body as a whole.

Let's give an example: in the area of the feet there are many active points connected directly to the spine. Therefore, by stimulating certain points, you can get rid of back pain, as well as completely solve problems with the spine. In the same way, problems with vision, hearing, and digestion can be solved.
How to massage your feet
Each of us wants to bring pleasant emotions to our loved ones and loved ones. That is why we will now perform the procedure for our loved one. This technique will be useful as self-massage. To do this, you need to create a feeling of comfort during the procedure: place a pillow or a soft blanket rolled up under the knee. This will reduce the risk of any unpleasant sensations during the sensation.
It doesn’t matter at all whether you have perfected the technique or are just learning this art - the patient should feel comfortable. To do this, you need to create the appropriate atmosphere: first of all, take care of a comfortable body temperature.

- Having warmed up the shin thoroughly, move on to the upper part of the leg.

Perform soft circular movements over the entire surface of the leg, using the buttock area.
