7. Ball of Foot Massage

The ball of foot massage targets an area under great pressure when standing and walking. Start by pressing the padded area directly behind your toes with strong thumbs. Work in little, deep circles, noting any especially sensitive areas. Wearing uncomfortable shoes or high heels causes this area to tense often. Spend time working from the base of your big toe to your tiny toe across the whole width of the foot. This approach helps avoid the development of disorders like metatarsalgia and releases pressure spots that could cause discomfort during walking. Additionally helping to increase forefoot joint flexibility is the massage.
