Abstract

 The purpose of this study was to investigate the physiological effects of foot massage alone or with abdominal breathing. Twelve healthy female subjects were supine on a bed and were massaged on the feet for 12 min with abdominal breathing or without it. Autonomic nervous activity was evaluated before and 5 min and 10 min immediately after the two types of foot massage, using power spectral analysis of heart rate variability. Heart rate tended to reduce after foot massage alone, but it again rose significantly 10 min after the massage. In the case of foot massage with abdominal breathing, heart rate decreased significantly immediately and10 min after the massage. The LF/HF (low frequency/high frequency) ratio, an index of sympathetic nervous activity, significantly increased after foot massage alone, and the HF(high frequency) power, an index of parasympathetic nervous activity, changed insignificantly. On the other hand remove, the LF/HF ratio tended to reduce and the HF power increased significantly after foot massage with abdominal breathing. The present findings indicate that foot massage with abdominal breathing can be a more effective measure to cause relaxation than foot massage alone.
