Massaging Foot
Are foot massages supposed to feel good?

I suck at giving foot massages. My foot massages don’t feel have any feeling in them… Is a Foot Massage supposed to feel good? Someone massaged my foot and I can’t say it was good… Are we doing them wrong? Any good site to teach me how to give a good foot massage? I give good back massages, but they are completely different from feet massages.

Foot massage doesn’t always feel good to everyone. Did you have a Professional Massage your foot or just your friend? A professional will be able to give you a much better example.

Foot massage can sometimes be too ticklish or too painful for people.

You have to experiment to find out what feels best for you.

How do i give good foot massages?

Any tips?
I would like to give my girlfriend a good foot massage.

Being a foot doctor I get a lot of compliments from girls that I give good foot rubs. The trick is to understand the anatomy. The most important anatomic part of the foot is the plantar fascia. This is a thick ligament that runs from the middle of the heel and fans out to all the toes. So basic principle of doing good foot massages is to massage starting from the heel and working your way up to the toes. Use 2 hands and your thumbs to put pressure (not to hard but not to soft) on the plantar fascia. If you bend the big toe up you will be able to see the fascia better. Also FYI, from reflexology, the “sexual organs” are around the back of the heel and around the ankle.
