It is not always necessary to go to a massage center for a good massage. You can stay at home and relax your muscles by getting a self massage done. As the name suggests you can do it yourself.
Many massage and wellness centers offer workshops on massages and partner massages. It may be worthwhile going for a workshop to get some familiarity with this
technique.
Foot massage is very soothing. After you try the following steps on one foot, switch feet and repeat.
1. Sit on a chair and place one foot on the other thigh. You can rub some massage oil or lotion on your foot if you want. With your thumbs apply pressure on the sole of your foot. Repeat this five times.
2. Massage each toe by holding it firmly and moving it from side to side. Extend each toe gently out and away from the ball of your foot. Then apply pressure to the areas between your toes.
3. Hold your toes in one hand and bend them backward holding them there for five to ten seconds. Then bend them in the reverse direction and hold for five to ten seconds. Repeat this three times.
4. Press and roll your thumbs between the bones of your feet.
