So how does foot massage help with pain?

If we look back at the ways that foot massage effects people, we see both physical effects and psychological effects.

It provides social care, an increase in endorphins, and decreased stress levels.

So it makes sense that when these things are effected, pain becomes easier to deal with.

A study looking at how the perception of pain was affected by foot massage showed marked decreases in postoperative pain – so much so that the use of opioids in patients who received massage decreased when compared to the control groups

This effect is most likely due to the ability of massage to treat several aspects of pain.

What Is Reflexology?

In the simplest terms, reflexology is a highly specialized type of foot and hand massage.

Sometimes called “zone therapy”, it involves applying deliberate pressure to specific points in the hands and feet. This is based on the idea that different areas of these limbs have different relationships to other parts of the body.

Improves blood circulation:

Due to a sedentary lifestyle, we don’t use the feet muscles properly and wear tight footwear, all this hampers the circulation of feet. A 10 minutes of foot massage daily, helps in transporting oxygen to the body’s cells, which is essential for overall health.

Fights depression:

Foot massage and reflexology helps in fighting depression. Certain points on the feet are helpful in alleviating depression symptoms. Massaging these points or applying pressure to them for a few minutes 2 or 3 times a day can help relieve symptoms of depression.

Helps in relaxation:

After a tiring and stressful day, a foot massage is a soothing and relaxing way to relax. Massage and reflexology of 5 to 10 minutes before going to bed can improve feelings of general well-being.

Promotes better sleep:

The best time to do foot massage is before going to bed. A soothing and relaxing foot massage improves the blood circulation. This helps in getting a peaceful sleep.

Relieves body pains:

This is the best part of reflexology. If done carefully, it treats pains and aches such as headaches, migraines, neck pain, lower and upper backaches.
