Our feet are completely burdened down with all the weight, stress, wear and tear that they go through every day. Foot massages can provide a good amount of relief from the stress and tension of the feet. You have thousands of nerve endings present in the feet, which is actually the explanation why foot rubs feel so good. When pressure is applied to these nerve points it stimulates a feel-good activity in the brain. Hence, foot rubs are quite pleasurable.
