46. Leg Massage #4

  • Sitting down, just after your ankle bone, before your heel, there should be a muscle you can massage for 100 stroke counts.
  • Still sitting down, massage the joints that connect the calf and foot, especially the area near your ankle. Do this for 100 stroke counts.
  • Also sitting down, massage foot bridge in circular motion for 100 stroke counts, especially the area near the calf-foot joints.
These strokes are helpful even if you don't feel that tired. I suggest to refrain from doing massage on these areas if you're not that tired.

That's because when you often put pressure on your veins, they could get bigger overtime and it's not very pretty. Surely, this can take about twenty years or so to show if you consistently massage this area (around three times a day, everyday).

On the long run, if you press so hard every time you massage these areas (or any areas for that matter), the vein membrane could get thinner (need around fifty years or so for this to happen). Moreover, it's irreversible if the veins are broken (one in every eighty years or so).

If you manage to get all veins broken, you won't feel anything anymore. I'm not sure if you can walk, maybe depending on the severity of the damage.

45. Leg Massage #3

  • Sitting down, massage the back of your knee for 100 times. You need to massage harder on this part. Try straighten your leg so you don't need too much energy to get the correct muscle.
  • Still sitting down, punch your calves for 100 times. You can punch, poke or push your calves to do this, just remember that your calves need to swing (a little bit).
  • Also sitting down, massage the end of your calves, just before the start of your ankles. Do this 100 times.

If you are not tired, or you don't have problems with the muscles, you'd feel nothing, or pain when you massage those areas.

44. Leg Massage #2

  • Sitting down, hold your lower thigh, just before the kneecap, with your hand palms. Left hand to hold the left leg, and vice versa. The position of thumb and forefinger is the area to massage for 100 times.
  • Still sitting down, hold your upper thigh with your hand palms. Press your palm mount (just before the wrist) against your leg, towards the outer side of your knee. Do this 100 times.

You won't feel tired anymore when you got the correct area. However, the tiredness will come back quickly when you walk or stand again.
