WATCH: This guy has given me inspiration to look at my own feet regularly.

Also, this could be useful for snooker players who could benefit from giving their feet a good long rub after a hard day playing on their feet! Maybe it’s an area worth looking into!?

Do-it-yourself foot massage

A professional foot massage is a treat, but not necessary to get the benefits. Here is a guide to a do-it-yourself foot massage:

Sit in a comfortable chair. Bend your left leg and rest your left foot gently on your right thigh.
Pour some skin lotion or oil into your hand. Rub it gently into your foot and massage your whole foot including the toes, arch, and heel.
Do a deeper massage. Press the knuckles of your right hand into your left foot. Knead your foot as you would bread. Or work the skin and muscles by holding a foot with both hands and pressing your thumbs into the skin.
Using your hands, gently pull the toes back and forth or apart. This stretches the muscles underneath.
Repeat on the other foot.

Massage devices in local drugstores or health stores can also help relax and restore your feet. Foot rollers are low-tech devices that can provide fast foot massages at home or at work. Simply remove your shoes, and roll your feel over the massagers for a quick pick-me-up.
