Whether you’re walking in the woods or in the city, your feet and legs can take a beating. How do you relieve foot pain?
Revive Your Feet With Water
Bring along your favorite Essential oils such as lavender, peppermint and/or Aromatouch, the massage blend. Add 2 or 3 drops of essential oil with half a cup of Epsom Salt to a basin or bathtub of very warm water and soak for 20 minutes. This will not only make your aching, tired feet feel better but also remove feet odor. Epsom Salt neutralizes odor and softens skin.
If your feet get hot and achy when you are out hiking, biking or running, stop and plunge your feet in a cold stream or lake for as long as you can take. Afterward, let them dry in the sun and give each of them a quick massage. Don’t forget to stretch, especially if you have issues with Plantar Fasciitis.
If pain persists, you might want to consider having a professional foot Reflexology… It’s much more than a foot rub!

Relieve Foot Pain With Legs Stretches
Please Remember:
- Rest.
- Stretch frequently, flexing tight joints and shaking out tense limbs.
- Stretch to a place where you feel pull but not pain. Don’t bounce.
- Hold the stretch for 10 seconds to increase circulation 30–60 seconds to lengthen a muscle.
- Breathe easily while holding the stretch. Slow, full breaths can get more oxygen to your muscles and help prevent straining.
- If you have a recent injury or surgery, or if you feel a sharp pain when stretching, consult your primary health practitioner before continuing a stretching program.
“Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float in the sky, is hardly a waste of time”
~Sir John Lubbock

Liraz is the best massage therapist I have worked with. She combines expert knowledge of anatomy with her sensitive intuition. She takes time to talk with you to learn your specific needs and follows up on future visits. She adapts her approach based on your preferences. She has alleviated pain in several areas for me, and suggested exercises and stretches I can do at home to maintain the improvements. Her office setting and personality are serene and relaxing. I always leave feeling significantly better physically and spiritually. I highly recommend Liraz and Heavenly Embrace Wellness.
