Relieves Pain, Enhances Blood Circulation and Lowers Blood Pressure
One of the most popular alternative therapies for pain relief is foot massage. Foot reflexology [1] is a very helpful nursing intervention that relieves weariness and encourages sound sleep, according to a study that examined the effects of foot reflexology on fatigue, pain, and sleep. Regular foot workouts and foot massages help treat chronic heel discomfort.
People who lead sedentary lifestyles may become unaccustomed to activating their feet muscles on a regular basis and may receive little to no exercise. Foot massages promote circulation, eliminate toxins, and enhance nerve activity. According to a study done on dementia patients, foot massage decreased blood pressure, enhanced moods, and decreased anxiety [2].
