The Benefits of Foot Massages

Tuesday, 02 January 2018 00:00

Foot massages are an effective way to transform painful, tired feet into feet that may feel brand new. It not only helps to increase blood flow, but may also help eliminate cramping or tenderness. The use of oils or lotions made for the feet are wonderful relaxation tools, in addition to helping the skin on the feet to feel soft. Massaging the toes can be done by pulling on each toe or by sliding between the toes. Using a firm circular motion with the thumbs on the foot, then using a lighter touch while moving toward the toes may be an effective way in helping to ease pain or achiness. Certain medical conditions may exist, such as gout or diabetes, and foot massages may not be recommended. Please consult with a podiatrist to see if foot massages will be beneficial to you.

Foot therapy is often necessary for those recovering from either foot deformities or foot injuries. If you have concerns regarding therapy, consult with Dr. Thomas Tran from Southwestern Foot & Ankle Associates, P.C.. Our doctor can provide the care you need to keep you pain-free and on your feet.

Most Common Injuries

People who are active or athletes are prone to a variety of injuries. Therefore, it is often important to take part in physical therapy in order to quickly get back on the right track. 

What to Do When Injured

Physical Therapy – This specialized treatment will focus on the affected area, speeding up recovery and the overall healing process. It is a proven method that has helped millions of people return from any injury.

During physical therapy you will undergo regimented training to get back into full form. Training is often very difficult, especially at first when the foot feels weak. Physical therapy often involves:

Basic stretching and twisting exercises – getting the feet’s mobility and flexibility up.

Massaging – the therapist will massage the injured area in order to activate the muscles and relax them.

Strengthening Exercises – this allows the muscles in the affected area to regain their full strength, a vital step towards full recovery.
