How to massage the foot to relieve tension in the back

To begin with, we find a "spine" on the foot. Sit on the floor with your legs crossed. Pick up any foot. Pay attention to its inner edge. The line between the heel and the thumb is the projection of the spine. Visually divide this line into parts: sacrum, loin, thoracic and cervical section. Now with your thumb, push this line in a direction from the heel to the toe with effort. If there are problems in the spine, then you can easily find their reflection here. They are felt as painful, sometimes hard points. Massaging them, you do not directly affect the spine. You do even better: relax the same nerve endings that make you store tension in your back. The general relaxing effect is already observed from the first time.

How the foot is connected to internal organs

There is no mysticism in this. Just the soles and the palms of a person are the basic organs of touch. For this purpose, up to 72,000 nerve endings (72,000 energy channels, nadis) converge here. The palms and feet adequately assess the situation (temperature, wind, humidity and much more) and "report" this to all organs and body systems directly. Thanks to this, the processes of thermo-, moisture regulation (and others) are performed without the intervention of our consciousness. We can use this: we massage only the feet - the whole body relaxes. We lower the feet into the water - the entire nervous system relaxes. Warm feet, wear warm socks - the whole body gets warm. Massaging feet, you can relieve pain, alleviate the condition of all organs and systems of the body.

How to make a self-massage stop

1. Preparation

Wash hands and feet with warm water and towel dry. Lightly heat the massage oil.

2. Body position

Sit with your legs crossed. If you feel tension in the back, arrange a support under your back and buttocks. Put the roller under the knee of the massaged foot, grasp the foot.

3. Massage

First, lubricate both feet with heated oil. Then knead the feet in turns. First rub the sole from the heel to the fingers and back. Twist and pull each finger. Multiply squeeze the foot from the sides. Then massage the reflex zones. Usually this is done with your thumb, pressing hard, rubbing the area in a circular motion. After the acupressure massage, iron the entire foot again. Take a relaxed foot with your hand and twist it, developing joints: ankle, fingers, heel. It is important that the leg is not strained, and all movements are performed only by the hands.

Foot massage with elbow

It is very convenient and requires much less effort than finger massage. You need to sit in the pose of the lotus or half-lotus and massage the soles of the foot with your elbow. An additional force of pressure can be created by pressing the palm on the palm of your hand.

Frequency and duration

Optimum massage feet for 5 minutes each, but every day or every other day. Then the effect will not keep you waiting.

Contraindications:

Infectious diseases with fever; Tumor or the risk of metastases; phlebeurysm; Inflammation of the joints of the foot (massage only reflexogenic zones, without touching the joints). Do not massage subcutaneous seals, fungal lesions, warts and birthmarks.
