Massage is justifiably considered one of the oldest practices of healing the body, one of the most effective and effective ways to have a beneficial effect on the internal organs and systems of the body by rubbing and pressing reflex zones and biologically active points on the human skin. There are many techniques and traditional massage practices, as well as ancient methods that have been inherited from parents to children for many generations.

Benefits of therapeutic foot massage

The entire human body on the surface of the skin has thousands of nerve endings and biological sensitive zones, the stimulation of which can significantly affect both the entire body as a whole and its individual parts, organs and systems. Therapeutic foot massage - this is a very effective practice of influencing not only the legs themselves, but also the condition and tone of the whole organism. It is important to know exactly how and on which zones and areas of the legs to act. For every goal there is a practice.

Without exaggeration, the legs are one of the most loaded parts of the body; in terms of the degree of load, the legs can only be compared with the back. Throughout the active day, a person puts a load on his legs, and it does not matter whether he is sitting, standing or walking, in any case, the legs are responsible for many functions and practically do not rest during the working day. If a person has a sedentary job, then stagnation of blood circulation and fluid metabolism occurs in the legs, while sitting, some blood vessels are pinched, which can cause the legs to swell and hurt. A strong load on the muscles of the legs during walking and constant movement leads to a strong tension in the calf muscles, which also reduces the level of blood supply to the extremities. As a result, such symptoms may appear - severe pain, muscle hypertonicity, swelling and a feeling of great fatigue in the legs.

Benefits of therapeutic foot massage

The benefits of foot massage consist of several important factors affecting the body:

• 1. Improvement of blood circulation. It is very important to note that impaired blood supply to the limbs is a very dangerous sign, since the access of blood to the tissues guarantees the influx of oxygen and nutrients so necessary for all cells of the body and the removal of waste products and toxins. Therapeutic foot massage, first of all, improves blood circulation in the legs and contributes to the rapid restoration of oxygen balance in the tissues and cells of the legs.
• 2. Strengthening the skin. Massage of the legs and feet has a beneficial effect on the skin, contributing to the mechanical cleaning of the surface of the skin from dead cells, tones the epidermis layer and frees and opens the pores, allowing them to fully function.
• 3. Relaxation of the leg muscles. Overworked and tense leg muscles very often cause discomfort and pain to a tired person. Therapeutic foot massage effectively relaxes the muscular system, improves blood supply to the muscles, enriches the cells with oxygen and nutrition. After a professional massage, a person literally does not feel his legs, they become light, the feeling of heaviness and fatigue disappears. Moreover, the effect of such a massage can last for several days.
• 4. Improving the condition of the veins. There is a playful expression among doctors that varicose veins are mankind's payment for walking upright. Indeed, a constant load on the veins of the legs often leads to varicose veins, this can manifest itself in different ways - someone has areas with a pronounced capillary network, someone close to the skin shows through and protrudes large veins. In addition to the negative aesthetic effect, varicose veins are dangerous due to circulatory disorders in the legs, blood stasis, pain and a tendency to expand. Therapeutic foot massage has several ways of influencing the veins and is part of a comprehensive anti-varicose therapy.
• 5. Calming effect on the nervous system. Relaxing foot massage can relieve nervous tension and stress. Modern life, in addition to high physical exertion, has a dangerous tendency to stressful situations, which has an extremely negative effect on almost all body systems, especially the cardiovascular system and the gastrointestinal tract suffer from stress. It's no secret that most heart diseases are associated with emotional experiences, and stomach ulcers also often occur against the background of constant stress and nervous shocks. Therapeutic massage is one of the most effective ways to influence the nervous system. A course of massage can significantly improve the nervous and mental state of a person.
• 6. Improving the outflow of lymph. The lymphatic system of the body bears a lot of functional loads, with the outflow of lymph from organs and systems, harmful toxic substances are removed, cells are freed from decay and metabolic products. Through massage, lymph flow is stimulated, which leads to an increase in immunity and a protective barrier of the body.
• 7. Improving the mobility of joints and ligaments. The joints of the legs are one of the most vulnerable parts of the limbs, especially against the background of age-related changes and constant stress. Therapeutic foot massage, which includes massage of the articular and ligamentous apparatus, can significantly improve joint mobility, eliminates wrinkling of the joint capsules that occurs after injuries or heavy loads, relieves swelling and prevents the risk of microtrauma.
• 8. Favorable effect on internal organs. A knowledgeable and experienced massage therapist knows how to influence the reflex zones of the legs, which are interconnected with the internal systems of the body. Stimulation of these zones improves the condition and blood supply of certain internal organs, improves their functional abilities and regenerative capabilities.

Summing up, we can say that there are a lot of positive and healing factors that guarantee you therapeutic foot massage . It will be useful both as an independent separate procedure aimed at relaxing and relieving tension in the legs, and as part of a complex therapy for various diseases of organs and functional systems of the body.

In addition to all the above advantages and benefits of professional foot massage, there is another favorable moment - the pleasure of this procedure. A professional massage therapist not only has the knowledge and skills to stimulate metabolic and circulatory processes in the legs, but is able to deliver true pleasure to his client.

Every day, our feet endure a colossal load and need special care. legs- the best way to relieve fatigue, but not only. It is also an effective treatment and prophylactic procedure that fights edema, varicose veins, flat feet (they will not be drafted into the army in 2018 with flat feet) and joint diseases.

Types of foot massage and their benefits

The usual self-massage of the legs, done after a hard day, helps to quickly bring tired limbs back to normal. Thanks to stroking, rubbing and kneading, lymph flow is activated, blood circulation improves, and muscles relax. As a result, swelling, heaviness, discomfort disappear, strength and working capacity are restored.

It has been scientifically proven that massage has a beneficial effect on the skin, muscles, bone and ligament apparatus, nervous system - not only locally, but also systemically. A mass of receptors associated with various tissues and organs is concentrated on the surface of the feet. Ancient Chinese healers even developed a special map with the projection of internal organs and functions on the soles of the feet. In total, about 72,000 nerve endings are concentrated on the feet, the impact on which causes reflex reactions in the corresponding areas of the body.

Specialists practicing acupuncture methods continue to use the old maps of bioactive zones, massaging those points that are responsible for the work of diseased organs. In parallel, reflexology stimulates the immune system, calms the nervous system, strengthens the cardiovascular system, and normalizes hormonal levels. However, it is difficult to do acupressure on your own without special knowledge and skills. So, the Chinese procedure according to all the rules lasts 2.5 hours and covers 62 reflex zones of the legs.

At home, such a massage can be done in a simplified version, using the principles of Chinese, Indian or Thai medicine. It is enough to master the basic movements and remember the right points.

In addition to relaxing and restorative foot massage, there is also a therapeutic one. We are talking about the treatment of musculoskeletal pathologies: joint diseases, injuries, flat feet, valgus. These problems require a professional approach, and it is better to entrust the procedures to an experienced specialist.

To summarize, foot massage:

• stimulates lymph and blood flow;
• relieves puffiness;
• tones muscles, skin and blood vessels;
• eliminates tension, pain, spasms;
• calms, improves mood;
• normalizes sleep and appetite;
• prevents stress;
• activates the immune system;
• trains cardiovascular activity;
• gives strength, restores performance;
• rejuvenates the body.

Whether to treat diseases of internal organs with foot massage is a matter of trust in alternative methods. As an adjuvant in addition to official medicine - why not. The main thing is to find a competent specialist who has the necessary knowledge and unshakably adheres to the principle of “do no harm”.

Foot massage for relaxation and prevention can and should be done by everyone (in the absence of contraindications), both independent and professional. It is recommended for nervous overstrain, stress, overwork, work "on your feet", intense physical exertion, sedentary lifestyle to avoid stagnation and swelling.

To correct orthopedic disorders and diseases of the joints, a special massage is done. Main indications:

• flat feet;
• arthritis;
• arthrosis;
• valgus foot;
• rehabilitation after injury;
• pain in the legs.

Regular procedures performed by the hands of an experienced massage therapist help to eliminate pathological disorders in the legs:

• normalize blood circulation and lymph flow;
• training supporting muscles;
• develop a ligamentous-articular apparatus;
• restore mobility;
• correct the position of the bones.

Foot massage has a beneficial effect on the entire musculoskeletal system. Healthy muscular and orthopedic apparatus of the foot contributes to the correct posture, reduces the risk of osteochondrosis, pinching.

Foot massage contraindications

Like any medical procedure, massage has contraindications:

• damaged skin;
• dermatological diseases out of remission;
• acute infections;
• chronic diseases in the acute stage;
• hyperthermia;
• high pressure;
• severe varicose veins;
• thrombophlebitis;
• bleeding;
• menstruation;
• tumor neoplasms;
• mental disorders.

There are special movements and massage lines for kneading the legs. If you ignore them, apply excessive force, you can damage the joints and ligaments. The motor mechanism of the feet can withstand heavy loads, but at the same time it is quite fragile: it consists of many small bones, tendons and joints, due to which it provides shock absorption.

With the wrong massage technique, there is a risk of pinching, displacing, tearing one of the structural elements of the foot. This can result in a dislocation, a fracture, a crack. The injury does not necessarily manifest itself as pain and swelling, but in the future it can lead to leg deformity, the appearance of salt growths on damaged bones.

To avoid such troubles, independent procedures are performed with light movements without effort, and complex techniques are performed by a competent specialist.

How to do foot massage

Self-massage is a simple and affordable technique for relaxing the legs. It is better to do it in the evening, after a warming bath. Feet are dried by vigorous rubbing with a towel, then with hands.

To begin, take a sitting position with outstretched limbs. Bend the leg at the knee and place it on the thigh of the other leg. Lubricate your hands with lotion or oil. Do massage according to the following scheme:

1. Knead your shin. Rub the calf muscles in the direction from the bottom up, massage the front part with stroking circular movements.
2. Take care of your ankle. Rub the surface of the ankle in a clockwise direction.
3. Smooth out the Achilles tendon. With your thumb and forefinger, stroke the tendon area from the heel to the ankle.
4. Warm up your foot. Start stroking from the top of the fingertips to the ankle. After 5 - 6 movements, repeat the same with the sole.
5. Relax your muscles and joints. Fix the heel with your palm, grab your fingers with your free hand and gently rotate the foot, first clockwise, then counterclockwise, 5 times back and forth.
6. Extend your fingers. Grab the arch of the foot with your hand, press the thumb of the second hand to the base of the big toe and try to gently pull it up. Then rotate your finger to the right and left, bend and unbend. Move on to the rest of the fingers.
7. Treat the interdigital space. Lock the heel, insert the fingers of the free hand between the toes and make several sliding movements.
8. Stretch the lift. Hold the heel with one hand, with the other, press the base of the palm on the middle part of the foot, moving to the sides.

Massaging the sole, in addition to the fingers, use the edge of the palm, knuckles. Treat the ankles and legs with all the methods of classical massage along the lines of lymph outflow. Put your foot in heat and proceed to the second. When you are done, do not rush to get up - lie down calmly or immediately go to bed.

To apply the principles of reflexology at home, it is enough to know which parts of the body are responsible for different zones of the foot:

• head, neck - fingers;
• hands, chest - the area between the fingers and the center;
• legs, abdominal cavity - heel and middle of the foot.

Pay special attention to these points if you feel unwell in the corresponding organs.

Features of reflex foot massage

Turned massage is the second most popular foot massage technique after the classical one. In order not to harm your health, you should apply for such a procedure to a certified reflexologist, avoiding dubious centers of oriental medicine.

Before starting the session, the specialist conducts diagnostics, determines the active zones that will be involved in the massage, and the duration of the course. Acupressure, depending on the brevity and strength, can have a relaxing and tonic effect. Soothing procedures are scheduled for the evening, exciting - for the first half of the day. Unlike classical massage, reflex massage is not recommended for infants and the elderly.

Therapeutic foot massage

Leg diseases cause constant discomfort: heaviness, pain, fatigue, calluses and corns. But the main thing is that they violate posture, cause spinal pathologies and displacement of internal organs. Massage is the basis of conservative therapy for flat feet and x-shaped deformity (valgus foot) in children and adults.

Flat feet are corrected by two main methods:

1. Relaxing foot massage from knee to foot and back. The calf muscles, the Achilles tendon, the ankle, the arch of the foot are carefully rubbed, then in the opposite order.
2. Step-by-step processing of the lower leg, foot, and last but not least, the foot. The entire area is preheated with rubbing movements.

For adult patients, the lower back is additionally kneaded, for children - the entire back. Competent massage can stop the development of pathology, and in children - restore the normal anatomy of the foot.

With hallux valgus, a more intense effect is used, aimed at increasing the tone and strengthening the muscles, ligamentous apparatus. Rubbing, thorough kneading, pinching, vigorous patting of the legs from the heels to the popliteal fossa, back of the thigh, buttocks, sacro-lumbar region and soles helps to restore the correct position of the feet.

With arthrosis, classic foot massage performs an auxiliary function:

• activates blood circulation;
• improves tissue trophism;
• enhances mobility;
• relieves pain;
• prevents muscle hypertrophy.

Before using medical and reflexotherapy techniques, be sure to consult a doctor, and entrust the procedures themselves to the hands of experienced massage therapists who have undergone special training.

Today we will start discussing Him we can do too alone, at home.

Foot massage - the benefits of acupressure on organs

What are the benefits of foot massage? Besides that foot massage very pleasant and has a rather powerful relaxing effect, it also relieves fatigue, improves sleep, activates the immune system, affecting the entire body as a whole.

As we already know, on the limbs, more precisely on the soles of the feet, biologically active points , pressing, pressing, rubbing which can indirectly affect almost any internal organ.

Even without any medical education, a person is able, simply by feeling his feet, to find painful points ... These are points of discomfort, and even quite severe pain signal us that there is a problem with some body. After consulting the table, which will be at the end of the article, with the prescribed projections of biologically active points, we can:

1. Pay attention to this organ, it may not hurt yet, the projection points on the feet react much earlier.

2. Start massaging painful points on the soles of the feet, reflexively affecting the diseased organ and helping it to become more active.

How to do foot massage

The foot massage procedure does not take very much time, but if you do it yourself, it may take about half an hour. Since the main relaxing foot massage effect I recommend doing it before bed.

start dot foot massage at home followed by warming them up with warm water. Then vigorously rub the soles to redness.

Let's prepare the cream. Anyone, even a child. Although, in practice, I can say that, in order for the foot massage to be more effective, it is worth taking some warming up cream, for example with mustard, with pepper, massage tonic.

Starting a foot massage with general vigorous rubbing movements of the entire foot.

After 1-2 minutes, go to toes. We give each toe a minute, rubbing in a circular motion, bending in one direction and the other. In people over 30 years of age, pain is possible with active flexion of the fingers. When some joints, muscles and tendons almost do not work, they, when trying to load them, give painful sensations. So that gradual impact and again gradual.

As you can see from the table, The pads of the fingers and the bases of the toes have reflexogenic zones. related to the organs located in the head (eyes, ears, teeth, nose, sinuses and the brain itself), therefore, paying a lot of attention to the fingers, we activate our thought processes and improve our protection against colds.

In principle, since childhood we know that we wet (froze) our feet, wait for a cold ... This knowledge is based on the fact that with colds we soar the legs with mustard, wrap them up, put on warm woolen socks. And if suddenly we decide to temper ourselves, then we courageously walk barefoot.

By the number of fingers they distinguish five energy channels that fan out across the foot. With pressure, strong passage with vibrating movements from the middle of the foot to the base of the fingers, a gradual restoration of the energy balance in the body occurs. With good development of the points of these lines, the flow of energy through these channels improves and expands.

You can do a foot massage to yourself, you can do it to a friend, partner, so to speak, mutually.

It is extremely useful to massage the legs of children before going to bed, even for babies, it soothes, relaxes and promotes better sleep. And if the baby has flat feet or, God forbid, valgus deformity of the foot, it is necessary to master the massage technique.

Your friends, especially pregnant women, will also thank you, their legs swell and hurt in the evening, and you can help them improve blood circulation, relieve fatigue and stress by your actions.

Often asked how to do a foot massage?

But after all, in fact, there can be no wrong effect, various techniques only help to more accurately influence biologically active points, but even if you don’t know something else, and not all massage techniques have been mastered by you, don’t stop in indecision !

Start small, your intuition is able to provide you with a service in this matter, and the soreness of some points on the soles of your feet will definitely help.

Active points on the feet - correspondence to the organs

And in the next the table shows the projections of these important points on the soles of the feet (click on the picture to enlarge)

Even a short impact of one or two minutes on the painful point of the foot can activate the organ corresponding to it, start its recovery.

Reflexogenic foot massage gives rise to self-healing mechanisms, of course, if the situation is neglected, then this method will not be able to completely cure a serious disease, but in its infancy, when there are still no symptoms of the disease, and the point on the foot already hurts, saying that stagnant processes are taking place and pathology develops.

Foot massage - video

For those who better perceive the information in the video, an example of a foot massage:

As for me, I will return to foot massage more than once in my articles, because not every organ available for independent action is so rich in reflexogenic points.

A foot massage will help you relax after a hard day and rejuvenate.

How to do this procedure correctly will help you learn useful recommendations from experts.

With the correct execution of movements, you can quickly relieve tension and have a beneficial effect on muscles and organs, since they are directly related to points on the feet.

Having mastered the technique of massage movements, you can perform the procedure at any time.

Nuances of foot massage

Foot massage is indicated for many diseases. It is recommended to perform it for problems with blood circulation, diseases of the limbs, systematic headaches and disorders of the digestive system.

The beneficial effect of massage is associated with improved blood circulation of the skin and their nutrition. To get the maximum effect, you need to know: how to properly massage the foot and apply suitable techniques.

Massage should be performed in such a way that it does not cause pain. For the lower limbs, the following types of movements are used:

• Point pressure with fingers.
• Stroking with pressure.
• Rubbing movements in the form of a spiral.
• Touches with deep rubbing.
• Slapping movements.
• Calm strokes at the beginning or end of the procedure.

Advice! It is convenient to do massaging of the feet on a rug with rubber thorns, on which shoes are cleaned at the entrance to the dwelling. You can purchase a wooden roller with spikes or a Kuznetsov applicator.

Useful properties of massage

Foot massage differs from massage of the back and other parts of the body in that this procedure not only stimulates the muscles, but also has a positive effect on the entire body. The reason for this is the huge number of reflex points on the surface of the foot, which are responsible for various organs and systems of the body.

The benefits of this procedure are as follows:

• Improves blood supply to the legs. Constantly freezing toes, even in warm weather, will tell you about poor blood flow.
• Muscles are toned. The procedure is effective for flat feet and increased loads on the legs.
• Massage allows you to relieve tension in the legs, which prevents the occurrence of nervous breakdowns.

Advice! All areas of the sole and foot are sensitive. With hypothermia of the legs, a runny nose or a cold may appear. Feet should be kept warm, but in warm weather it is useful to walk on sand, pebbles and dew.

• Feeling constantly tired.
• Frequent headaches.
• Insomnia.
• Appetite disturbance.
• Problems with metabolism.

Such problems are not considered diseases, but they cause great inconvenience. If you perform a foot massage, it will affect the quality of blood flow, the activation of internal organs and the rise in mood.

Foot massage: how to do it right?

The procedure should be performed in a calm environment. This helps relieve muscle tension.

The main movements are made by the upper phalanx or thumb pad. The pressing force is determined individually. It depends on the health of the patient.

Performing massage yourself, you must follow the following rules:

• The reflexogenic zone should be massaged slowly, with the study of each millimeter of the foot.
• When you press on some points, there are especially painful sensations. This indicates problems with the body for which this site is responsible. It is necessary to influence the painful area especially carefully.
• You need to click on the same point several times.
• Massage is carried out no earlier than an hour after eating.

Advice!For preventive purposes, massage should be performed for twenty minutes a day. For chronic diseases, at least 20 sessions are required.

Points on the foot

There are many reflex zones on the foot. When performing a massage, you need to know:

Advice! Foot massage with continuation to the center of the folds on the buttock is performed with hemorrhoids, lumbago and sciatica.

Varieties of foot massage
