Get in touch with your feet

March 2011 is Deep Vein Thrombosis Month.

Roll your foot on a tennis ball, golf ball or a laundry ball!

This can help:

Circulation (cold feet)
Balance stimulation
Pump venous blood to heart
Generally stimulate relaxation points

Place ball under ball of foot and rest heel on floor.

Rest - Spread toes and allow them to drape over ball.

Rock foot on ball in a pumping motion

Roll foot over ball- going from heel to ball of foot

Rest heel on ball and roll over heel surface

For ball stability, place ball in toe of long stocking.
