Relaxing foot massage

The feeling of heaviness is particularly much felt for those who spend all day on their feet or on high heels. Over time, this affects your whole body; you start to feel more tired, more lazy and depressed.

But even those who don’t move much can benefit from a lower limb massage. If you’re not active, you suffer from blood stagnation, which can lead to various diseases.

A relaxing foot massage is something that will simply get you back on your feet and reduce your chances of developing an underlying disease. This method will bring your lower limbs back to normal in 30 minutes and relieve tiredness not only in your legs, but also in your whole body.

Self-massage or professional lower limb massage at the PRIZMA Medical Center

What to choose?

A self-massage that you can do at home at the end of the working day will certainly get you into shape, and can even improve blood circulation in your legs a bit. But you won’t be able to do it properly.

The main purpose of the massage is to activate the lymph flow, relax the muscles and improve blood circulation, which means that every millimeter of your feet must be thoroughly worked on. A massage therapist uses various techniques (stroking, rubbing, kneading, sliding, tapping) during a relaxing foot massage to benefit the skin, muscles and ligaments. Relaxing foot massage is not a therapeutic massage.

How does a lower limb massage session take place in Kyiv?

A relaxing lower limb massage session is performed along the whole length of the leg from the feet basis towards the gluteal fold in a patient’s lying position on the couch. The massage therapist works first on one leg and then on the other one. During the massage the specialist uses sesame oil.

The treatment begins with stroking movements, lighter at the beginning and more intense later. This improves blood circulation and warms the skin. The techniques of rubbing, kneading and twisting are then continued in sequence. These techniques partially also provide the same effect as an anti-cellulite massage.

As a rule, the massage starts from the posterior region of the thigh, then continues with the knee and tibia area and ends with a light foot massage. Each area is worked from the lower to the upper part of the leg. The specialist works on the back of the thigh – from the knee to the buttock, and on the tibia – from the ankle to the knee. The massage therapist then moves on to massage the anterior area of the leg.
