The foot massage pad of the invention includes a substrate which form a base for the foot massage pad. The substrate can be made of any material that is sufficiently rigid to maintain its shape when used as described below. For example, the substrate might be plastic, wood, metal, stone, rubber, or any other suitable material. In one preferred embodiment, the substrate is composed of neoprene rubber or similar material. The substrate has a top surface and a bottom surface. The bottom surface of the substrate is designed to engage frictionally with the surface below it to restrict movement of the substrate. The substrate may be placed on the floor, for example, and the bottom surface will cause additional friction to maintain the substrate's position when force is applied to it. In some embodiments, the material composing the substrate has a high coefficient of friction, though a texture may be applied to bottom surface to increase friction.
