A healthy person has two feet. A person weighing 68 kilograms will bear 260 kilograms of pressure on his feet every step. On average, every day, feet bear 2.6 million kilograms of pressure. This number is equivalent to about 40,000 people stepping on your shoes.
In the human body, the foot is farthest from the heart. If the peripheral circulation of the foot is blocked, it will easily lead to poor blood circulation, which will lead to poor metabolism of tissues and organs in the whole body and decreased function. Foot massage can make the blood circulation of the foot smooth, promote the blood circulation of the whole body, accelerate the metabolism of the body, supplement nutrition, and make your body run healthily and normally.

Pedicure precautions
1, preparation before massage
Masseurs should trim their nails in advance, cut them short to avoid scratching other people's skin during pedicure, wash their hands with soap and feet with soap. After you like it, apply massage milk or vaseline oil to the body parts that need massage, which will make the massage smoother and prevent the skin of the massager and the massaged person from being scratched.
2. Relax before being massaged by the massager.
The massaged person soaks his feet with hot water first, which can stabilize his mood and relax his mood. After soaking the feet, the massaged person lies on his back on the bed, with the masseur sitting next to him, covering his knees with a towel, and then putting his feet on his knees.
3. Reflex pain points
There are many acupoints on the soles of feet. Before massaging each acupoint, the pain points in the pathological reflex zone should be measured first. You can use a check stick with a nib, such as a ballpoint pen, to gently prick it. If the patient feels pain like being pricked, this acupoint is pathological and needs massage.
4. Massage for the elderly
Children are thin and tender, the bones of the elderly are fragile and easy to break, and the joints of the elderly are stiff. Therefore, when massaging the elderly and children, you can use your fingertips to exert force, which can reduce the intensity and avoid injury.
