Foot Massage for Runners

Every runner needs a foot massage, here’s how to massage your feet and feel better fast.

Nine Steps to Happy Feet
Step 1: Choose the foot that most needs a massage.
Step 2: Glide your hands over that foot to warm it up, from your toes to your ankle.
Step 3: Squeeze your whole foot beginning with your toes and moving gradually towards and eventually up your ankle. Look for tender areas and work them a little extra.
Step 4: Squeeze, pull and twist each toe. Begin with the biggie and end with the pinkie.
Step 5: Press both thumbs into the bottom of your foot and press your remaining eight fingers into the tops of your foot. Begin near your toes and move towards your ankle.
Step 6: Repeat step 5, but this time roll your thumbs as you press into your foot.
Step 7: Press and roll your fingers into your ankle area.
Step 8: Repeat Step 3 and squeeze your foot beginning with your toes.
Step 9: Drum the tops and bottoms of your feet lightly with your fists.

Get up and walk around noting the difference between how your two feet feel. Then sit back down and do it all again with your other foot.

Suggested Time: 2.5 minutes per foot (but take as long as you need)

There are two types of runners those who have foot problems and those who will have foot problems. Foot massage will relieve problems that you have now and prevents new ones from forming.

Extra: All you need for a good foot massage is a hand and a foot. To go deeper try a massage tool. My favorite is the Backnobber II. While it’s not designed for the foot it’s still the most effective tool I’ve found for my feet. You just pull the little knob at the end into your foot with as much or as little intensity as you need. Move it from spot to spot until you’ve found all the spots that need work.
