The thigh is an area where fats and toxins collect easily and get trapped due to sluggish circulation. This is mostly due to a sedentary lifestyle. Most problems relating to the thighs are due to accumulation of cellulite, the skin being dry, and flabby thighs. Apply oil on the thigh. Massage the thigh kneading and squeezing with the palm and thumb to ease tense muscles and tone up the sluggish system. Massage the inner surface of the thigh with your palm and fingers. The fat deposits on the thighs can be broken down by improved circulation and eliminated. |

Next do a synchronised massage of the legs. Using both hands with fingers pointing inwards and thumbs, one on top of the other, massage the outer surface of the leg, starting from the hip and going down to the toes, applying pressure as you go downwards. After reaching the toes, proceed upwards again, using very little pressure as you go upwards.

Tackle the knees next. With your palm, massage clockwise around the whole knee in a circular motion. Exerting pressure, massage the top of the knees. With four fingers below the knee and the thumb on the top of the knee, keep stroking the inner region of the knee from side to side; this releases tension. Extra care should be taken to massage below the knees. |

Next move down to the feet. Using the thumb and fingers, press both thumbs over the entire surface of the foot, one spot at a time, while supporting the foot with the other fingers. This normally relaxes the tension in the area. Massage the top and sole of the foot simultaneously by allowing the heel to rest on the droni and rubbing the top and sole with both the palms.

Using oil liberally cup the heel with your palms and massage in a rubbing action from left to right. Foot massage prevents and cures dryness, numbness, roughness, fatigue and cracking of the heels. It gives you strength while walking and running. |
