1. Points of Interest
Nothing beats a good foot massage and if you want to earn points with a friend or lover, learn the best pressure points to hit while giving them a foot message. A reflexology chart of the foot can give you the many points on the bottom of the foot and their corresponding body references. Some main spots to hit include the arch, which can help soothe stomach aches, the ball of the foot, which stimulates the heart and the heel to get the genitals activated and feeling good.
2. Walk on By
Your feet do so much during our lifetime and receive so little attention. You keep them locked away in shoes and socks and expect them to be ready to go as soon as you step out of bed. Taking the weight off your feet is the first step to giving them some relief. Gentle and heavy rubbing on them is the second kindest thing to give your feet. While it is nice to have someone else rub your sore tootsies, your feet can be just as happy if you rub them yourself.
3. This Little Piggy
Don't forget the toes. The ten little digits are serving you all day to help you keep balance and give you the inertia to keep moving. Rub a little harder when massaging the toes so as not to get a tickle going. Use lotion and rub each toe individually, beginning at the base of toe. Squeeze the toe between two fingers and move those fingers up to the edge of the toe, continuing to squeeze all the way. Massage between the toes by separating each toe from its neighbor and rubbing a finger in the opening a few times.
4. Don't Be a Heel
Massaging the heel may instill a level of seduction in the person getting the massage, but sometimes the heels are so hard and cracked that no amount of massage will help relieve the discomfort. Use a pumice stone or file to rub the heel before you massage oil or lotion onto the surface. This technique will clear away the dead skin and allow the nerves to react better to the rubbing they are about to receive.
5. Kicked to the Curb
Foot massage should be a regular part of a healthy skin and body care routine. You should save foot massage only for special occasions, but it should be a ritual that becomes part of your weekly regimen. Include a foot massage while bathing or make it part of your nightly television or relaxation time with your partner. Once you get in the habit of sticking your feet on your partner's lap, he will get in the habit of rubbing. Be considerate and make sure you wash your feet first though. Anyone has the right to refuse a stinky foot.
