Happy Feet
WELLNESS // SPA
When it comes to caring for our feet, we could set up an appointment or simply indulge in some self-
care at home. From socks to spa treatments, we offer some suggestions for springtime foot care.
Massage Tool: Yoga Tune Up Balls
The weight, grip, and density of Yoga Tune
Up balls make them useful as massage tools.
Our feet benefit from regular massage.
To use the balls as massage tools, stand
on a sticky mat near a wall for support. You
can work with one foot at a time or challenge
your balance and massage both of your feet
simultaneously.
Place the ball under the front of your foot’s
arch. Drop your weight into the ball. Roll to
the back of the arch. Allow your body weight
to sink into the ball. Roll the ball all the way
around the sole of your foot.

Kerry Lorimer is a Reflexology Therapist at
Exhale Spa. She says this about the practice,
“Generally speaking, reflexology can offer a
bodywide effect by stimulating the reflex points
in the feet (and hands). This can be a huge ben-
efit for someone who just taxed their muscles
by running a marathon, training, or hiking.”
In Reflexology, the practitioner uses a specific
set of techniques to apply pressure to reflex
points that correspond to the body as a whole.
Kerry also points out, “Like other bodywork
modalities, it is important for the massage thera-
pist to check for signs of injury, blisters, and
swelling before treatment.” For more informa-

Sometimes what you need the most - either
at the end of the day or during the day - is a
warm blanket for your feet. One that stays on
no matter what activities you are doing. Earth
Therapeutics Aloe Socks are infused with aloe
vera and Vitamin E. They’re even designed to
be worn after applying your favorite moistur-
izing lotion. In Ayurveda, massaging your feet
at night before bed with nourishing oils or
soothing butters is both calming and restor-
ative. Covering your feet with the Aloe Socks
magnifies the effect. Whether you are a runner
or someone who is on their feet all day, these
aloe-infused socks offer any-time-of-day relief.
With different colors and patterns available, you
can even match to your favorite PJs or robe.
