I deal with bodywide OA and my feet have been the last place on my body to have OA come to visit and never leave....my ankles are weak and FOR ME, body alignment is OFF since hip replacement in 2010....but when I wake up from a good night's sleep, I find when I do a deep massage on my feet, it gets circulation and blood flow going and "wakes up" that area of my body. I do feel a relief in my feet.

I know a massage therapist who does this deep work on OA and plan to go to her one of these days. In the meantime, deep work on my feet when I wake up and get out of bed HELPS, I use topicals too and a foot support on right foot, hip surgery side.
