Advice - How to give a great Foot Massage in Brighton

Women ( and men) love a foot massage in Brighton, it is well known that feet are one of the key primary places on the human body that can become sore, mainly from extensive and prolonged walking.


While a little effort will ensure that a foot massage is at the very least mediocre, some knowledge will make it stellar. Also, if you are trained adequately or have experience at giving foot massages yourself, you don’t need to refer anyone to professional massage therapist.

Another great characteristic of foot massage is its ability to heal the body over and above just the foot. There a lot of professionals that believe that a properly executed foot massage yields a full-body relaxation, but this belief is based on reflexology and has little proven efficacy.

Before commencing the massage, it is important to have the feet be wet, whether with water or some other soaking preparation. After they are soft, you can use many different techniques to induce pleasurable feelings.

One of the techniques utilized involves holding the back of one’s foot and rotating your hand around it continuously, while periodically reversing direction. The rotations and reversals enable long-lasting stimulation, and it is not too difficult on the person delivering the treatment.

Another great and straightforward maneuver is the repeatedly stroking of the foot with both palms. You will need to apply a continuously good amount of pressure as you slide each palm down the length of the foot, and just keep placing one hand in front of the other as you move, as if climbing a rope. You can apply variable pressure to further spice up the technique, although a medium level pressure is fine if you want to keep stable.

There is also plenty of things to do with just a few fingers instead of your whole hand. For instance, you can use your forefinger or thump to move up and down the foot with this linear motion being very relaxing. You can also do elaborate patterns that make the massage more interesting and indulgent.

Adequate attention should also be paid to the toes. A lot of people love having their toes pulled and cracked, but that comes down to personal preference. Rubbing the toes lightly is a great supplement to a foot massage, and is also much easier than focusing on a larger area

To spice things up you can go for a slightly more exotic option such as the Thai foot massage from Little Jasmine Therapies in the Brighton city centre.
