For some people it would not be more relaxing at the end of the day than a foot massage. Here is an entire practice of massage called reflexology on massaging the feet to relieve symptoms throughout the body. You don't have to do the entire reflexology of foot massage but instead you just need to follow these steps. Check it out.

To start with clean feet. You may love foot massage at the end of a day but be sure to remove your foot coverings and give your feet a little bath before offering them up. If with some partners you are offering the massage and don't want to suggest your partner wash their feet, then try step two.

Wrap a warm and damp towel around the feet. This step often could be ignored but it definitely has two purposes. First you get cleaner feet to work with. Second the heat will help relax tense foot muscles. Keep the towel around your feet for at least two minutes. It would be helpful.

Test for ticklish feet. It helps if you know someone's feet are ticklish before they react and kick you (or break out in giggles and ruin the mood). Usually the more sensitive your feet feel ticklish the better health you get.

Apply certain lotion to feet . Don't apply too much lotion. Too slippery hands seem not good but just enough lotion to soften the hands and feet.

Lightly rub lotion across the tops and bottom of the feet. This is a very delicate step. You need to have proper power to rub your feet. Too light or too strong will not be helpful. This step would help you practise your "skill " if you keep doing for long time.

Hold one foot between the palms of your hands and rub with thumbs. To rub firmly with your thumbs along the bones across the top of the foot. Something important is to rub as firmly as you can without any pain.

Massage the bottom of the foot. Switch your hands in order to with your palms still around the foot then your thumbs are against the bottom of the foot. So make a small circles with your thumbs and press deeply as you slowly widen the circles to massage the ball of the foot then the arch. Keep doing like that till you feel a little bit hot on your feet.

Stretch the toes. Just slowly slip your fingers of one hand between the toes. Though the movement is very light but definitely could be helpful to relief pressure. Some people perhaps would make their toes go crack. So please be aware of do it without causing pain.

Put on a sock. The sock should be warm and will seal in the moisture of the lotion and complete the relaxing feel of the massage.

Repeat with the other foot. You should never leave a foot massage half done. Keep doing it then you simply could be get benefit.
