While reflexology is not a medical treatment, many doctors agree that stimulating the feet can improve relaxation, circulation, and body awareness.
What Doctors Recommend Doing With Your Feet
1. Massage Your Feet Daily
Doctors often recommend foot massage as a simple way to activate circulation and relax the nervous system.
Benefits may include:
Reduced leg fatigue
Better blood flowLower stress levels
Improved sleep quality
Even 5–10 minutes before bed can help your body shift into a calmer state.
Tip: Use slow pressure, especially around the arch and heel.
2. Walk Barefoot (When Safe)
Walking barefoot on safe surfaces like grass, sand, or indoor floors helps:
Strengthen foot muscles
Improve balance
Stimulate nerve endings
Enhance posture
Many podiatrists say modern shoes can weaken natural foot mechanics over time.
