One easy way to keep your feet healthy and free from all kinds of foot problems is a regular foot massage. It helps stimulate the muscles around your feet, lessens stiffness and even reduces pain in the ankles or the heels. Plus, a short 5-minute foot massage daily will make your ankles strong and flexible, thus preventing unpleasant ankle and foot injuries. Foot massage will also stimulate the lymphatic system and help prevent varicose veins. Also, foot massage gives you energy by releasing any blockages that hold back energy and relieving symptoms of stress and fatigue.
