Foot massage has been around for many years as it is used to improve health and relax the body. In recent years, techniques from various disciplines have been used in foot massage, such as shiatsu and reflexology. Foot massage can be used as a pain relief method while simultaneously relieving stress and helping to speed up injury recovery.

Foot massages are usually done entirely with the therapist's hands. As technology evolves, so do massage treatments. Thus, some very useful massage tools have been added to the treatment, such as the massage gun, which offers more effective activation of the leg muscles.

How does it work

There are a variety of techniques used during foot massage. Techniques used in foot massage include:

Frictions can be used during foot massage. Friction is performed using the fingers or thumbs and is when pressure is applied along the muscle fibers.

Frictions help break down the collagen fibers that have accumulated in the muscles. Muscle temperature rises during a foot massage, it helps to relax the muscles and break down the collagen fibers. The breakdown of collagen fibers increases the flexibility of a muscle to reduce constriction.

The skin is rolled by collecting and scrolling the skin between the fingers and thumbs.

It aims to reduce the restriction created by the fascia to reduce muscle tightness and pain.

Trigger pointing is used during foot massage. In the technique of Trigger pointing, special pressure is exerted to soften and break the muscle nodes.

The trigger points are in the middle of a muscle fiber and can cause pain if left untreated. The pressure exerted on an area can vary.

A person will start to feel numbness in the area and when this happens, pressure is released.

Increased blood flow to the area increases when pressure is no longer exerted, as the body believes it has been damaged.

Increasing blood flow allows the increase of oxygen and nutrients in the muscles to reduce fatigue and pain.
