You may be able to do some of these techniques on your own feet but it will be ten times better if you can get a friend to do it for you (after he or she has watched the videos!), then you can relax completely. The whole process would be better after cleansing, both for the benefit of your masseur but also because the feet will be both stimulated and relaxed, so that the massage can have maximum effect. After the massage and drying off, try some gentle exercises to keep the feet supple.

Foot massage for neuropathy
These two videos are a follow up to yesterday's post about caring for the feet. You may need to ignore the corny background music and the slightly New Age feel, because the techniques you see here are perfect for neuropathic feet.

I have severe neuropathy pain in both feet and the only tiny bit of relief I get is by getting foot massages. My children due it at bedtime and I also go to a professional masseusse for 1/2 hour massages
