7 Minutes to Happy Feet || Foot Self-Massage with a Ball

Join me for a fabulous self-massage for the all-to-often neglected feet. Grab a massage ball, lacrosse ball, tennis ball, or golf ball, and follow along as we massage away foot pain and tension, relax our feet, and increase mobility through the joints of the feet. After only 7 minutes, you’ll probably notice that not only do your feet feel relaxed and rejuvenated, but so does your entire body.
Our foundation, stability, balance, and posture all begin with the feet, so keeping them healthy is necessary for overall health. When there are issues with the feet, there’s a good chance of problems developing elsewhere in the body.
Proper footwear is essential to the health of our feet and therefore our entire bodies. Wearing high heels, for example, can create many painful conditions and injuries including achilles tendinitis, calf cramps, lower back pain, disc herniations, and even neck pain, to name a few. So make sure you always wear good, well-fitting, supportive, comfortable shoes.

Hi. I use the ball rolling when I get up. It helps to loosen my hamstrings and lower back. Thank you

Nice. My Grandma used to do that. She also would pour ot a jar of various marbles on the floor and pick them up with her toes putting them back in the jar. Helped her greatly. Helps me to.

[@rachelrichardsmassage9660]

Yes, that's a foot strengthener often used by physical therapists. I had to practice that one quite a lot when I was hit by a car and the tire ran over the side the my foot!

[@gregorsamsa613]

Thank you! Are there self-massage techniques that focus on hammertoe pain?

[@rachelrichardsmassage9660]

You can spend more time on the flexed joint under the affected toe(s) and follow the massage with some traction, using your hand to gently pull the toes long and straight, creating space in the joints. Also make sure your footwear leaves plenty of space for your toes.

@@rachelrichardsmassage9660 Oh thank you. I appreciate your guidance.

I'm doing it with two limes in a sock

[@rachelrichardsmassage9660]

Did that work, or did your foot get covered in lime juice? 🙂

[@Fruit_bee]

@@rachelrichardsmassage9660 😂😂😂 it worked, socks gut a good smell but after 3 minutes they start to juice, i do not recommend 🌞

[@wickedcosmos535]

I love Limes and don't have balls on hand 😂 thank you for the idea ❤

[@Peanut1973martine]

That's a good idea to use
