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.

can you use a heating or massage pad while pregnant?

I’m 30 weeks and have extreme Back Pain is it ok to use a heating or massager while in my third trimester

Yes, I just fell yesterday on ice and had a concussion and lots of back and neck pain. I went to my obgyn last night to check on the baby and she suggested I use a heating pad for the pain.

Hope you feel better!

Chair Massager with heat?

I have one on those things that you put over your chair and they heat up and vibrate. Do you think these things are ok to use during pregnancy? I’m not sure if the heat will affect my baby or not. I can’t adjust the heat but it makes my back feel a whole lot better at work! I didn’t think it would be an issue but my parents are telling me not to use it!

The heat is fine, just try not to fall asleep on it as pregnant women may not move as much in their sleep.

Hot showers are also fine, you just don’t want to do anything that will raise your core body temperature. A heating pad won’t because so much of you is not covered.

DETOX FOOT BATH Is this a scam? How does it work?

What is in the liquid that the feet are soaked in? What is the ‘science’ behind the gunk that is “detracted” from one’s body through the feet? What is the ‘gunk’? Will this help cure my plantar faciitis?

I have explained this many times. First yes it is total bunk. There is no way no how to detox anything through the feet period. These foot bath things work like this, the gunk is simply metals from the two dissimilar metals used as the electrodes, in fact the water will turn the same color even if there is no body part in the water. First you need electrodes made of two different metals, next you need to make the water conductive by say adding a small amount of salt. Next just run a small electric current through the water, there will be an electroplating effect where some of the metal from the electrodes will deposit in the water. Simple as that, this process is used for electroplating metals like gold or silver for example. It is amazing that people will be taken by this, and believe anything they hear. You on the other hand are questioning it and that is healthy. Total and I say total scam, it won’t cure anything but it will take money from your wallet.

Electronic Massager Options?

I came across PANASONIC’s Model# EV2510 massager and find it to be uniquely profiled to be quiet useful. What other kinds of such electronic massagers are available from reputed manufacturing vendors that need to be considered prior deciding to purchase the EV2510. Thank you-
tolivia: Thanks! I would appreciate any literature/ user manual on this “Magic Wand” !, just to enable me make a comparison between either.

Pocket Rocket type “neck” massager;) 10 PTS 18+ plz and serious answers?

So i found a new model called the i vibe pocket rocket vibrator for around $30 that is quieter then the original and a little more powerful. I want something compact, affordable, and long lasting. Ideally effective at giving “massages” too….*wink *wink.

Btw i’m a dude and this is for a girl friend and i may even actually see how the neck massage thing feels before it goes down south. Thanks for anyone with experience and advice to give.

Just be yourself. It doesn’t matter if it’s good enough for someone else.

What are some benefits of using a percussion massager?

Does it help muscles heal faster?

Poor Dave, He never really has a clue,does he? A percussion massager works by fatiguing the parts of a muscle that senses tension in that muscle,thus relaxing it. I use it for cases of tendinitis. It works well,and quess what, I don’t even charge extra….quess I’ll never get rich

Can anyone recommend a vibrator?

I like to use a percussion massager, but since I have to put a towel over me so it won’t catch on my skin and hurt me, I don’t like it too much. But I love the vibrations because they’re strong. I was wondering if someone can recommend one that really vibrates strong, one that’ll really make my teeth chip, lol. However, it can’t be too big or too thick, I just can’t take it big, hurts too much. Please give me links to pictures, websites and tell me why you recommend it and if you’ve tried it yourself. Thanks so much!
Price doesn’t matter!

Is it really dangerous to use a foot spa during pregnancy?

I just got one for my birthday yesterday and would love to use it. I haven’t had any complications in my pregnancy and both myself and baby are healthy.
Thanks!
I think I need to clarify. It’s not a day at the salon its a little machine you put your feet in and there are some jets. There was a warning with the instructions but I have been reading conflicting informatin about the safety.

um no.. its just a foot spa go for it

how do i bring my front foot back in a kickflip?

i can do a clean spin and i do commit but wen i do my Back Foot lands it and my front is near it any tips or help?

…. practice aha it happens like that for most tricks just find where your comfortable at. Also goofy or regular don”t keep your feet on the edge of the board. But its better to keep it on the edge when your starting off. So you know exactly and when you put your foot below your bolt and your feet in the middle of your board but a little off. So you learn how to control your flip and what to do to perfect it .

I need help with my back foot dragging in an ollie?

Whenever i ollie, my front foot goes to the right position (over the front bolts) but my back foot drags as well. I can still land it but i want to ollie stairs and i think this might cause me to bail or crack my board.

if ur leaning to far forward or have to much weight on ur front foot or jumping forward instead of just straight up could cause this to happen. just pratice trying to tryin to keep ur back foot from goin up to far, remember u want it to land on the bolts as well. once u pop concentrate on lifting ur back foot up instead of so far forward.

What is the best electric Foot Massager?

I am looking for a foot massager. It should work for a long time and also must have pressure points. An all in one sole and calf massager would be better. Guys do not look online and answer. I appreciate answers who are using a product.

How to make my veins less visible?

My father work as a cook, he works 10 hours each day. I noticed how his veins are more visible than before. I am wondering if anybody knows how to cure it like make it less visible. I thought buying him a foot/calf massager would help. But it seems like is not doing any good. One time this nurse told me I should go to those pharmacy store to buy this thing which is good for his leg. I 4got the name but is this thing for him to wear on his legs to help him with his veins. Does anybody know what is this thing called?

thank you

I guess you are talking about compression stockings. They are white and have a toe area cut out to be able to observe toe color and function. The stockings help force venous blood back into circulation and help reduce swelling and the risk of clots.

HOWEVER, they must be worn correctly. If you decide to get these, it might be best to make sure the doc agrees with the purchase, and get a demonstration of how to put them on correctly. The pharmacist (or a nurse) might help with that.

Best wishes.

I have real problems relaxing my jaw muscles. Have tried loads of different things (no crude answers please)?

All my stress seems to go into my jaw. I’ve tried Indian head massage, flotation, yoga, reflexology, accupuncture etc etc. I can relax everything else but not my jaw. It started when my partner set up his own business about 3yrs ago with all the financial uncertainty, and though I’m not worried about that anymore, the jaw problem carries on. I get headaches because of it and it’s generally a big pain – always there. Any tips? (I have M.E so can’t do any jumping around!)

I have ME too. You have to change your whole attitude to life. Think positively about everything. List all the negative things in your life right now (on paper if the brain allows) and then write the positive alternative.

Eg: Negative I can’t afford a pint tonight!
Positive: Have I the price of a half-pint?

Did KATINKO (Philippines) break the Foot Massage record by Taiwan?

Current world record as “The Most People Receiving Foot Massage / Reflexology Simultaneously” with 1008 pairs engaging in a ten-minute foot massage was set by Taiwan last July 1, 2008. KATINKO made an attempt to break Taiwan’s record and at the same time set a new world record last Nov. 28, 2008.

Home to a multitude of world records that has caught international admiration and respect, the Philippines and the Quezon City Government together with the KATINKO Wellness Institute Foundation Inc., the wellness arm of Greenstone Pharmaceutical HK Inc. (GPHK Inc) that trains and educates massage therapists and its flagship product KATINKO Ointment has staged an attempt to break a previously held world record and at the same make a new world record in the field of massage therapeutics. Set last July 1, 2008, the current world record was made by Taiwan with 1008 pairs of participants taking part in a simultaneous foot massage only for ten minutes.

Taking place November 28, 2008 at the Liwasang Aurora of the Quezon Memorial Circle in Quezon City, the Philippines under the initiative of KATINKO made an attempt to break the current world record by gathering hundreds of certified massage therapists from around the country that performed the Dagdagay foot massage. The event also included massage therapy of the back and head and earned them a new world record.

GPHK Inc. CEO and President John Philip R. Yeung and KATINKO Marketing Manager Bryan Paul J. Libunao has been promoting and supporting traditional Filipino massage as part of the curriculum in the KATINKO Wellness Institute Foundation Inc. and has chosen to perform the Dagdagay, a Traditional Massage from the Cordilleras, in their massage technique of the Guinness World Record-breaking and setting event.

After the much awaited event, with one world record to break and another world record to set, KATINKO failed in its first bid to beat the Taiwan record as “The Most People Receiving Foot Massage / Reflexology Simultaneously” with 1008 pairs engaging in a ten-minute foot massage but was successful in setting a new world as “The Most People Receiving Massage Therapy / Reflexology (Foot, Back and Head) Simultaneously” with 876 pairs of massage therapists and clients participating in a forty-five minute session.

Graced by MMDA Chairman Bayani Fernando, former Bulacan Governor Josie dela Cruz and the Quezon City Councilors, the event also became an opportunity for Greenstone Pharmaceutical to launch its roster of new products that includes the KATINKO Ointment Easy Stick, KATINKO Wellness Isopropyl and Ethyl Alcohol and the KATINKO Wellness Therapeutics Massage Oil that comes in Euca-peppermint, Relaxing Lavender and Boosting Ylang-ylang. Also present in the event are KATINKO endorser Ronnie Rickets and Bobby Andrews who represented Sen. Bong Revilla.

Quezon City Mayor Feliciano Belmonte has previously extended the city’s appreciation to KATINKO for choosing the Quezon Memorial Circle as the venue of the world record-breaking event. The occasion came in timely as the local government of Quezon City has recently assumed the administrative role in governing the Quezon Memorial Circle and promote it to the world as one of the world class parks of the city.

What does it mean when a girl rubs her foot against your leg?

We were at the movies the other day, obviously sitting next to each other. At one point she had her legs crossed and i coulda sworn she just started rubbing her foot against my leg.

If she’s been doing it for a while she obviously likes you. Try rubbing your leg back at her next time and see what she does.

Is there any psychological explanation for a foot/shoe/leg fetish?

And why are they usually clumped together as one fetish?
I have a leg fetish, but whenever I tell people I prefer a woman’s legs they say I have a foot fetish. Yeah I notice if she has hot shoes, but that’s cause it makes her legs look good. It’s not the same thing, I don’t get aroused or turned on by her feet/shoes, just the legs.

And is there any psychological reasoning behind these?

I would say this is up there with people being homosexual and other desires, just born that way. There’s nothing wrong with it since it’s your life and only YOU know what you like and what makes you aroused. Don’t listen to the people that say hurtful things like pervert, weirdo, etc, it’s a shame they can’t be as open to anything since almost anything is possible.

There usually clumped together because they are all in the area that the initial fetish started. You start to examine and observe more things with time so it could possibly lead to other parts that are surrounding them. With the shoe fetish, it’s more of appearance and how it shapes the leg and foot, hence why a shoe fetish may develop. Hope that clears it up!
