After shopping or walking for a long time, rest and inspect the feet before massage. Give light attention to the soles, calves, thighs, shoulders and hands. Avoid blisters, wounds, swelling and recent injuries. A hot, red, swollen and painful leg requires prompt medical assessment.

Walking for long periods at shopping centres, markets or tourist attractions may leave the soles, calves and thighs feeling tired. Carrying shopping bags may also place additional strain on the hands and shoulders.

After returning home, put your belongings away and rest for several minutes. Check for blisters, wounds, swelling or injuries before beginning the massage.

Calves

Stroke gently from the ankle towards the knee. Keep the pressure light or moderate and avoid pressing behind the knee.

Thighs

Use your palms to stroke the front and sides of the thigh. Avoid the groin and any area producing sharp pain.

Shoulders and hands

After carrying bags, gently squeeze the shoulder muscles. Massage the palms and the base of each finger.
