Our feet do a lot for us. They carry us all day, bear the brunt of our morning jog, and endure countless evenings in uncomfortable shoes. Our sedentary lifestyles, lack of exercise and uncomfortable shoes often disrupt circulation. We often feel cold or numb feet, or tingling in our fingers for no good reason. These are all signs of poor circulation in the legs - something that can be significantly improved with regular foot massage. 

High blood pressure or hypertension is a serious medical condition that increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney failure. Life changes like eating the right foods can lower your blood pressure levels significantly. Regular foot massage can give the same effect. A foot massage will relieve joint pain and help the body recover from injuries, as well as reduce soreness in the muscles. Massaging the feet helps prevent injuries to the foot and ankle.

If you suffer from frequent headaches, a foot massage will help just fine. Danish scientists examined the response of 220 patients after six months of reflexology. After just three months, 81% of patients claimed that a foot massage either significantly helped or completely relieved headache problems and 19% of those who had previously taken medications were able to stop using them!

A foot massage before bed can help you relax and let go of a busy day.
