~The Benefits of Foot Massage~ Most of us, especially MEN, take our feet for granted. But our feet are vital to our health and mobility, carrying us an average of 184,000 KMs in a lifetime. No wonder foot problems are common. As we get older, these problems can get worse and it is especially important to care for our feet. In older people, foot problems can mean the difference between needing institutional care and being able to live at home. And as we get older, we succumb to illnesses such as diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, and arthritis (there are more than 100 different types of arthritis). It has become well known concerning the importance of diabetic foot care and PVD, however arthritic sufferers need to realize the benefits of foot care and massage, as well. Most arthritis sufferers may not think of massage when they start to explore which complementary therapies might ease their pain. Yet, while it is doubtful an arthritic joint can heal completely with massage, it can feel better. And for an arthritis sufferer, better is a welcome word, particularly when there are no side effects involved. According to the Arthritis Foundation, more and more doctors are recommending massage to their arthritis patients to help relieve pain and stiffness. With more physicians becoming massage allies, those stricken with the disease are becoming more receptive to touch therapies. So, NOW is the time to Put Your Feet First .
