Foot massage
Thirty or sixty minutes off your feet, while the rest of your day drops away for a while.
What we do
We press with thumbs and knuckles on set points in the sole of your foot. Chinese reflexology holds that those points connect to the rest of your body — foot reflexology, it is called. Whether you take that idea on board or not: most people walk out feeling lighter, and that is what you came for.
You do not need to undress. Trouser legs rolled up past the knee, shoes and socks off, and you sit or lie back for the rest.
Who it is for
You are on your feet all day
Hospitality, retail, care work. Your feet carry it.
You have walked too much
Around the city, or travelling with a suitcase behind you.
You sleep badly
Many people find it easier to wind down afterwards.
Cold feet
Even indoors, even with socks on.
Heavy legs
With sixty minutes we take in your lower legs and calves.
You stay dressed
Trouser legs up, shoes and socks off. That is all.
Half an hour to yourself
Thirty minutes where nobody needs anything from you.
Good to know
Does it hurt?
Firm, yes. It should not be painful. Some points feel more sensitive than others, which is normal and usually eases within a few seconds. Say so if it gets too much, you do not have to be polite about it.
How it works
We usually start with a warm foot bath. Then we begin at your heels and work up towards your toes: flat pressure first to loosen the muscles under the sole, then more precisely on the points that feel stiff.
When not to
With open wounds, fever, thrombosis or recent surgery on your foot or leg we would rather not. Tell us before we start. In doubt, check with your doctor first.
Do I need to undress?
No. Trouser legs rolled up past the knee, shoes and socks off. You keep the rest of your clothes on.
Can I walk in without an appointment?
Often, yes. We have two salons and for one person there is usually room within half an hour. A quick message saves you waiting.
Can I give it as a gift?
Yes. We have gift vouchers, available at the salon.
Fancy a foot massage?
Send us a WhatsApp or simply walk in at the Singel or in West. There is often room the same day.
