A foot massage is one of the easiest ways to unwind — you do not even need to undress. Your feet carry your whole body and hold tension from standing, walking and tight shoes, which is why they respond so quickly to touch.
A relaxation foot massage simply works the muscles and soft tissue. Reflexology uses a different theory — that points on the feet map to organs elsewhere in the body. Both are popular; choose physical relief or the reflexology system depending on what you are after.
Most sessions last 20 to 60 minutes and can be done seated or lying down. Tell your therapist about any injuries, diabetes or foot problems first, and expect to leave with lighter-feeling feet and a calmer mind. Curious how often to book? See how often you should get a massage.
