Foot massage

In our days, mostly to improve the overall health, people resort to back massage or any separate zone of the spine, and foot massage is usually not used either in a complex of procedures or as a separate type of massage. Most likely, a lot of people haven’t even tried this massage.

Experts in this area argue that a person’s well-being and overall health in general, depend more on the state of health of the legs. There are about 15000 nerve endings in our feet, which are directly connected to various organs and the spine. Therefore, massaging the legs (fingers and feet) will help get rid of many health problems, as well as prevent their occurrence in the future.

Everyone every day faces a number of tests affecting health: work, study, travel, business trips, shopping, etc. Some people lead a sedentary lifestyle, others on the contrary, try to move as much as possible, “Not get stuck in one place”. All people have one thing in common, in each case our legs are involved. It is very important to give a moderate load to the legs, but it is equally important to give our legs “unloading”, that is prevention of well-being (in some cases, as a method of treatment) can be a foot massage.

Massaging the feet stimulates the lymphatic system, improves blood circulation, reduces tension in the muscles not only in the feet, but of the whole organism in general.
