Step 1
Start with the feet. Soak the feet first in warm-to-hot sudsy water for about 30 minutes. Use a cream or petroleum jelly as you massage, especially if you tend to develop calluses or blisters when running. Don't forget the toes.
-
Step 2
Use your thumbs to apply direct pressure to any tender area of your heels, pushing hard for up to 15 seconds at a time. Also, try deep friction massage by moving your thumbs back and forth with strong pressure.
-
Step 3
Massage your Achilles tendons by sitting in a chair with your legs crossed.
-
Step 4
Massage the calf muscles with kneading or compression. Sit down and cross your legs so you can comfortably reach any sore areas.
-
Step 5
Apply firm pressure up and down the backs and fronts of your thighs, working tender spots with your thumbs and fingers and using deep friction to increase circulation.
-
Step 6
Use finger and thumb pressure and light friction up and down the muscles in the back of your neck and across your shoulders. Move your head from side to side and shrug your shoulders to relax the area.
