Step 1: Tap the foot peak
Stroking or patting stimulates the blood circulation and warms the foot. Grip the foot of your partner in your hands, and at the top of the foot starts a long, firm, slow, stroking motion using your thumbs, starting from the toe and slid back away from you, all the way to the ankle.
Step 2: Ankle rotations
Ankle rotation relaxes the feet and loosens the joints. Hold the curve of the foot using the other hand and slowly rotate the base at the ankle about three to six times in both directions.
Step 3: Toe squeezes and pull
Toes can be sensitive to touch and this massage can be very soothing. Hold the foot under the arch using one hand, and with the other hand, from the toe, grasps the toe using your thumb on the top of the toes and under the index finger.
Step 4: Toe slides
Hold the leg in the back of the ankle, holding under the heel. From the index finger of your other hand, move your finger in between the toes, forth and back for a minimum of three to six times.
