What does research show about the benefits of foot massage?

Research is showing that foot massage can be effective in helping reduce anxiety, lower blood pressure and reduce generalized pain.

A study showed 6 sessions (30 minutes, twice a week for 3 weeks) of foot massage and back massage resulted in reduced systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure values.

Foot massage has also been shown to help women with pain during labor.

The study showed that pain severity for women who received the foot massage decreased after the intervention, and they also experienced less pain in the postpartum period.

Healthcare continues evolving to less-invasive, natural, and drug-free methods, placing massage therapy as part of your complementary and alternative medicine healthcare choice.
