    Why Do Foot Massages Feel So Good? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Our feet have a lot of bones in them. In fact, they hold \u00bc of all the bones in our body. Not only that, but our feet have more than 100 muscles, ligaments, and tendons. That is a lot of muscle that needs a lot of tender love and care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    With this information in mind, it really goes to show just how much attention our feet need. We use them every day, so shouldn\u2019t they be taken care of? If we don\u2019t take care of our feet, then we won\u2019t have healthy feet to walk on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This will cause a lot of irritability. Imagine if everyone got foot massages, there would probably be world peace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
