Synopsis:

20 subjects, both male and female, ages 61-19 yrs old, were given foot massage by 4 trained researchers. Vital signs changes were measured and biofeedback was done before and after sessions. Results: biofeedback and temperature were lower and the pulse & respiratory rate and blood pressure were higher before the foot massage. All subjects reported positive feedback about the foot massage. Therefore, it is considered beneficial for both physical and mental conditions.

Conclusion:

	Foot massage was shown to be effective in providing good circulation, relaxation, and comfort.
