Padaabhyanga, also known as foot massage or foot reflexology, is a traditional Ayurvedic practice that involves massaging the feet with herbal oils . The word “Pada” means foot, and “Abhyanga” refers to oil massage. This therapeutic massage technique is believed to have numerous health benefits, not just for the feet but for the entire body.

During Padaabhyanga, the therapist applies gentle pressure to specific points on the feet, by stimulating these points, Padaabhyanga aims to balance the body’s energy flow and promote overall well-being.

The massage typically begins with the application of warm herbal oil to the feet. The therapist then uses various strokes, kneading, and circular motions to massage the soles, heels, toes and ankles. The pressure applied can vary depending on individual preferences and needs, ranging from light to firm.

Padaabhyanga is known for its relaxing and rejuvenating effects. It can help relieve tension, improve circulation, soothe sore muscles, promote better sleep, and enhance overall relaxation. Additionally, some people find that regular Padaabhyanga sessions can help in symptoms of conditions such as neuropathy, plantar fasciitis, and arthritis.

Overall, Pada abhyanga is considered not only a luxurious treat for the feet but also a therapeutic practice that supports holistic health and well-being.
