Relax - Recharge

Feel-Good Foot Rub

By Erica Beaulac, Parenting
Pampering moves from New York City massage therapist Ann Marie Cominsky:

• Sit in a comfy chair and coat right foot with lotion. Lay foot on your left knee.

• Press right thumb into center of heel and release. Work your thumb down the length of foot, pressing and releasing, until you reach your toes. Repeat down the sides of your foot; pay attention to the inner arch, with its many pressure points.

• Next, take hold of your big toe and rotate it a few times in each direction. Repeat with your other toes.

• To finish, rotate your ankle a few times in each direction.

• Repeat with left foot.

Sure, as long as they keep in touch with me.
