Q1
Is foot reflexology better than a massage?
It varies depending on your treatment goals. While a foot massage aims at reducing muscle tension and improving circulation, reflexology involves pressurising specific areas of the feet to treat several health issues like sinusitis, nausea, and cardiovascular problems. Reflexology is more holistic and you need to speak to your therapist about your treatment goals for effective therapy.
Q2
How much does a foot massage cost?
A foot massage will cost you anywhere from INR599 to INR 1,800 in Mumbai.
Q3
How long does a foot massage usually last?
A foot massage typically lasts 30-60 minutes.
Q4
How often should I get a foot massage?
While it is a personal preference and many people enjoy foot massages, you may choose regular/weekly sessions of foot massage to maintain flexibility in your feet.
Q5
What should you not do after a foot massage?
Before and after a foot massage, avoid taking a shower for 2-3 hours. This is because a massage and hot water both increase blood circulation and their combination can make you feel dizzy. Also avoid alcohol, caffeine, and strenuous activity for a day to alleviate any lingering soreness.
Q6
Are foot massages painful?
The pain you may feel during a foot massage varies from person to person based on the degree of muscle tension in your feet. There are thousands of nerve endings in your feet and a foot massage can trigger different sensations including discomfort.
Q7
What to expect during foot massages?
You just need to be ready with clean feet for a foot massage. Your therapist will use fingers, thumbs, knuckles, palms, and even a rounded Thai massage stick to pressurise specific points with precision. The massage will mostly last an hour and you will feel as if stepping into bliss with an elevated Thai foot massage.
