1. Improves blood circulation
In today’s modern age, we have become less active in our daily routine, as a result our muscles rarely get a chance to be fully stretched. The icing on top is our tight shoes which stop blood circulation in our feet.
Foot Spas can easily improve circulation because they massage your feet in a way that blood flow is encouraged. Beneficial for those with diabetes as well.
2. Lowers blood pressure
A mere 10 minutes with a foot spa and your blood pressure will be down. If you are someone who has to fight blood pressure on a daily basis, a foot spa just might be the thing for you.
Massaging the acupressure point of the feet can relieve tension. Relaxed feet mean less anxiety, less stress, and lowered blood pressure.
3. Encourages better sleep
Increased blood flow can ease out a lot of pain points, this sends a relaxing signal to your brain which in return induces sleep.
4. Reduces the effects of anxiety and depression
Foot spa provides the best form of foot massage and studies reveal that anxiety can be reduced by 50% if you get your feet massaged regularly.
5. Speeds recovery in foot injuries
If you have injured yourself in a high-intensity workout well a foot spa just might be the thing for you. Foot spa brings down inflammations in your feet, increases blood flow. Your muscles feel relaxed and as a result, they heal themselves quickly because they aren’t feeling any additional stress.
6. Reduces edema during pregnancy
Pregnant women often suffer from edema, which is swelling in the feet and ankles caused by fluid retention.
Massaging the feet on a daily basis with firm yet gentle strokes can help combat edema, as does drinking plenty of water and getting sufficient rest.
7. Boosts energy levels
A foot spa will massage your feet, relieve your fatigue and elevate your mood if this isn’t a good enough energy booster then I don’t know what is.
As we mentioned before foot spa encourages greater circulation of blood that means more oxygen is carried to your muscles which provides more energy.
8. Improves immune function
When there is better circulation, your immune system becomes stronger too, white blood cells become more active in helping the body fight off any foreign entities.
Foot massage stimulates muscle on a cellular level hence the white blood cell response becomes stronger and stronger over time.
9. Improves sex drive
The stress relief that comes with massage can also put you and your partner in the mood. Giving and receiving a foot massage can be effective foreplay in the bedroom, as the massage can lead to mild arousal.
10. Keeps your feet in healthy condition
Frequent massage gives you a chance to check for any foot problems before they get worse, such as:
- Sores
- Corns (thick hardened layers of skin caused by rubbing and pressure)
- Ingrown toenails
- Cracked heels
- Dry skin
