Gently press and massage between the tendons on the back of the foot. Don't forget the area between each toe. Massage the soft area on the ball of the foot below the big toe and also the soft area below the other toes.
Press and massage the tips of each toe. Then work on the first joint of each toe by pressing on the bottom and top with the first finger and thumb and gently pull forward for a few seconds. Then massage along the sides of each toe.
Massage the whole bottom of the foot, especially along the arch and sides. The heels require extra care.
Four Easy Steps for the Perfect Foot Massage
Step 1: The bottom of the foot
Ah, the sole: the best place to start with, for many foot lovers. Sit facing your partner's feet. After warming a little lotion in your hands, place your thumbs on the heel of one foot. Apply thumb pressure to the underside of the foot, starting at the bottom and gliding your thumbs toward the toes.
Step 2: The heel
Lubricate and massage the entire heel (including the sides) with your thumbs. Use gentle pressure as heels are often tender.
Step 3: The top of the foot
After lubricating the area, place four fingers in one of the grooves between the bones on the top of the foot. Gently massage downward, toward the ankle. Do this between all the midfoot bones.
Step 4: "Milking" the foot
Position both hands on one foot, with your fingers underneath and your thumbs on top. One hand at a time, apply pressure and stroke the foot by sliding your hands toward the toes.
A simple cleansing foot bath
Throw a small handful of natural sea salt into a bowl of warm water and stir until the granules have dissolved. Sea salt is known to be a natural cleansing agent, drawing the body's toxins out of the skin and relaxing the tissues. It is also rich in minerals. Once you have prepared the bowl of warm water and added to it your chosen ingredients, place it before your partner and ask her to soak her bare feet for five minutes. Suggest that she flexes and stretches her toes and feet in the water to exercise the tendons and muscles and release tensions. You will probably hear her sigh with relief as her feet begin to relax.
