Feet up is the good old recipe for relaxation and good circulation
Putting your feet up in one spot when you are tired is almost a reflex action. The old ones did it and now the new ones are doing it and in fact, it’s the new trend in social media.
But what happened? How did this traditional relaxation pose become the new wellness trend?
The truth lies in yoga, which nowadays is one of the most popular relaxation and well-being techniques, and the truth is that it is also highly effective.
The benefits
So apart from putting your feet up, resting them and relaxing your whole body, this posture has other benefits.
First of all, it helps with good blood circulation. Think that all day either your legs are almost “hanging” or you are standing and they bear all the weight. So this has the effect of slowing down blood circulation in the body. The blood concentrates mainly in the legs and often causes swelling, cramps and fatigue.
Also, this posture rests and relieves your waist and back. At the same time, it is a comfortable position, which helps the body to release pressure and tension and calm down. Especially before bed, it’s the best.
So in general, putting your feet up is a posture of relaxation and rest.
The way
The main thing is that you do it correctly, so that it is also effective.
Lie down somewhere and brace your feet against a wall, a door, or even the headboard of your bed.
Stretch your back so that your shoulders are under your body, backwards. Bring your buttocks close to the wall, but not touching it. Place your hands on your side, above your head or wherever you feel most comfortable.
From then on, you can simply remain with your feet resting on the wall or do some exercises.
For example, you can lift your buttocks slightly. Also, you can do a “walk” on the wall. That is, to bend your knees, touch your feet and “walk” up and down.
In general, this position is very convenient and easy, which will rest and relax you. Feet up, then.
