Best Foot Massages Near Me in Cruet, Chambery

A foot massage typically lasts between 30-60 minutes.

Some people enjoy foot massages on a daily basis but it’s really down to personal preference. To help maintain flexibility in your feet, you may want to indulge in regular weekly foot massages.

It depends on your treatment goals. A foot massage helps to reduce muscle tension and improve circulation; reflexology is more holistic. In reflexology, specific parts of the foot are thought to correspond to different organs and systems in the body, so practitioners place pressure on particular areas of the feet to treat a range of internal health complaints including nausea, sinusitis and cardiovascular issues. If you're in doubt which one to have, ask your therapist.

It’s advised that you don’t shower for 2-3 hours before or after a massage. A massage increases blood circulation, as does hot water – the combination of the two could make you feel dizzy or faint. You should also avoid caffeine, alcohol, and strenuous activity for 12-24 hours after a massage to alleviate any lingering soreness.

It depends on the degree of muscle tension in your feet. There are more than 200,000 nerve endings in your feet, so a foot massage can trigger a range of sensations, including discomfort.
