Feet Rubbing

Hi big wide MN...
My PFB is driving me crazy. She's almost 7mo, and she rubs the soles of her feet along the inside top of her other foot - I hope that make sense - quite hard - all the bloomin time.
Plus the kick force hurts me too!
Is it normal? Will she stop doing it? She's starting to stand so I'm just worried she's going to affect her own foot development?

I do it! It's lovely! I'm fairly normal in most other respects

Thank you!
She's started to do it less for kicking off her socks and more in anger - hence the forceful kicks I lovingly receive, so it's not a gentle rub! She usually makes her skin redden.
I'll notch it down to her being a total diva strong personality then and wait for her to grow out of it?!
