How to massage your legs to relieve fatigue

If we walk for too long or exercise too intensely, our legs will feel very sore, and massage can effectively relieve the soreness symptoms. The way to relax the calf is to rub it. The soles of the feet are a place that must not be missed. The soles of the feet correspond to our internal organs. Massaging the soles of the feet is comfortable and the whole person will feel very energetic. If you don’t know how to massage, you can find a professional massage parlor.

1. Massage your lower limbs

First, grasp the base of the left thigh with both hands, and channel the strength of the whole body into the hands through the shoulders and arms. Start massaging from the base of the thigh downwards to the heel, and then massage upwards from the foot to the base of the thigh. One step down and one step up counts as one time. Repeat 25 to 35 times. Then massage the right lower limb using the same method as before. Regular massage of the lower limbs can improve blood circulation in the lower limbs, has the effect of dredging the meridians, activating the collaterals, dispersing blood stasis and relieving pain, can prevent varicose veins in the lower limbs, muscle atrophy and cramps, and can relieve leg fatigue.

2. Calf rub

Hold one calf tightly with your palms, rub it while rotating, rub each side about 20 times, and then rub the other calf in the same way. This method can enhance leg strength.

3. Massage the soles of your feet

After washing your feet, rub your hands to warm them up, and gently knead the relevant parts or acupoints. You can massage the entire foot or just a part of it, and massage the Yongquan point (sole of the foot) or Taichong point (behind the first and second toe joints) or Taixi point (the depression between the highest point of the inner ankle and the Achilles tendon) more often. It has preventive and therapeutic effects on dizziness, insomnia, anorexia, dull complexion, fatigue, hypertension, constipation, etc.

Chengshan Point and Kunlun Point are acupuncture points specifically for treating pain in the waist and back. Proper massage can effectively relieve the pain in the waist and back. The technique is not difficult to master. The main thing about Chengshan acupoint is to find the correct position (equivalent to the middle of the back of the calf, sliding downward from the thick muscle above, to the flatter muscle), press this point with your fingers, hold for 1 to 2 minutes, or you can rub this point for 5 minutes. To press the Kunlun point, press the depression behind the outer ankle with your fingers and move it towards the big tendon at the back for 1 to 2 minutes.

These two acupoints will feel sore when pressed, but you will feel relaxed after massage.

In order to have a good time, many people travel at night or stay up all night partying. As a result, not only do they feel groggy, their eyes become sore and uncomfortable, and their memory also declines a lot.

Combined with moxibustion or massage of Baihui point (the central depression on the top of the head), rubbing Fengchi point (in the depressions on both sides of the big tendons on the back of the neck) and pinching Zhongchong point at the end of the middle finger, it can help you recover your energy in a shorter time.
