On the first foot, begin with the toes, twisting and pulling each “section” (between the knuckles) of every toe. Start with the base of the big toe, grasping it with the thumb and for
efinger and, using a twisting motion, massage in between the big toe and the next toe. Then, without changing the position of the fingers as pressure is applied, pull with an upward motion. Next, move up to the middle section of the big toe, twist several times and pull up. Repeat with the uppermost section of the big toe and then continue on to the next toes, until three sections of each toe on that foot are twisted and pulled.
After the toes, move on to the massaging the rest of the foot, trying to cover the entire surface. Use your thumbs, fingers, even your knuckles in a slow and powerful circular motion. Start directly under the big toe and work your away across the foot until you reach the base of the little toe. Then move down and massage your way across to the other side. Go left and right, right and left, from one side of the foot to the other, moving downward one row at time to the heel.
If you want to work on a problem-spot in your body, spend more time massaging its corresponding location on the foot (see Chart above). Finish with a massage of the ankles on either side of the Achilles tendon, then briefly squeeze and release that tendon at least once.
Once you have completed the first foot, make sure to spend the same amount of time on the second foot. Otherwise you will be unbalanced. A satisfactory foot massage will take at least ten or fifteen minutes total. A good one will take about thirty minutes (fifteen minutes a foot); and a super deluxe wonderful foot massage could take as much as one hour. If you’re giving someone else a massage and they fall asleep, don’t stop. It is a sign of success to have someone fall asleep. Keep on until you have completed both feet
