If you’re not up for getting undressed and having a full body massage, consider getting a foot massage. As with other types of massage, there are many potential benefits of Foot massage in Oahu HI.
May Improve Circulation
All sorts of things common in daily life can decrease the circulation to your feet, including everything from wearing tight shoes, being sedentary, or suffering from diabetes. Getting regular foot massages may help to improve the circulation, helping to keep your feet healthy.
May Improve Mood and Decrease Depression
People who suffer from depression or anxiety or who are just feeling a bit down may want to consider scheduling a Foot massage in Oahu HI. Some research shows that this type of massage can minimize the symptoms of anxiety and depression. It also increases those feel-good endorphins, helping to improve the mood in general, impart feelings of calmness, and even decrease pain.
May Help Decrease Nausea
Those who suffer from nausea, including people who are undergoing cancer treatment and women who are pregnant, may want to consider foot massage as well. Some studies have shown that foot massage may help limit nausea and vomiting, leading to a lower risk of dehydration and perhaps an increased quality of life as well.
May Help With Pain Management
Although the massage only involves the feet, it can affect perceived pain levels in other parts of the body as well. For example, one study found that reflexology foot massages helped to reduce the headache and migraine symptoms in 65 percent of study participants. Foot massage appears to activate both the reward centers in the brain and the parts of the brain that help with pain moderation.
May Improve Blood Pressure Levels
Having high blood pressure can increase the risk of heart disease, so it’s important to take steps to keep your blood pressure at a healthy level. A few different studies have shown decreases in blood pressure levels in those who get regular foot massages. This may be at least partly due to the stress-reducing benefits of these massages.
