After a day on your feet, few things feel better than taking your shoes off and giving your feet some attention. There are three simple ways to do it at home: with your hands, with a soft ball, or with a foot spa. This guide explains each, compares them, and sets out who needs to take extra care. That last part matters more for feet than for most areas, particularly if you have diabetes or reduced feeling in your feet.<\/p>\n\n

Option 1: using your hands<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Sit securely. Rest one foot on the opposite thigh if that is comfortable for your hips and knees. If it is not, put the foot up on a low stool in front of you.<\/li>\n
  2. Hold the foot in both hands and make slow strokes along the sole with both thumbs, from the heel towards the toes.<\/li>\n
  3. Use your thumb pads to make small circles across the fleshy ball of the foot and along the arch. Keep the pressure mild.<\/li>\n
  4. Gently squeeze the heel pad a few times.<\/li>\n
  5. Hold each toe near its base and move it through a small, comfortable range. Do not pull or crack the joints.<\/li>\n
  6. Finish with broad strokes over the top of the foot, with lighter pressure, as there is little padding there.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Two to three minutes a foot is plenty. A little plain moisturiser reduces friction. Wipe off any residue before you stand, particularly on hard floors.<\/p>\n\n

    Option 2: using a soft ball<\/h2>\n

    Sit in a chair and place a soft massage ball under one foot. Roll it slowly from the heel towards the ball of the foot and back, keeping your weight in the chair and your other foot flat on the floor so you control the pressure. A minute or two on each foot is enough.<\/p>\n
