Jade Health Massage Shoes (Slippers) Black

But how does massage do all that? It activates your nervous system, which increases feel-good brain chemicals like endorphins. In one study, people who got foot massage after surgery to remove their appendix had less pain and used fewer painkillers.

That's not all, though. Foot massage boosts your circulation, which helps with healing and keeps your muscles and tissues healthy. That's especially important if you have health problems that add to poor circulation.

Rubbing your feet also gives you a chance to check for other problems, like sores, corns, and ingrown. If you have poor circulation, checking your feet for sores is a good idea.
