Desk Job Blues? Try These Quick Foot Massage Techniques

12. Cool-Down Relaxation Technique

Finish your foot massage by using this relaxing cool-down method. Trace patterns on your whole foot from toes to ankle using quite delicate, feathery strokes. This light touch lets the tissues combine the benefits of the other massage techniques and helps to soothe the nervous system. Follow this with light compression of the whole foot, soft squeezing and releasing in a rhythmic pattern. This last method helps you relax generally and gets your feet ready for their usual use. Additionally helping to prevent any post-massage pain is the cool-down, which leaves your feet feeling invigorated.
