A foot massage focuses on relieving tension and relaxing the muscles of the feet and calves. Reflexology is a specific therapeutic technique that maps points on the feet to organs and body systems, using targeted pressure to influence overall health and wellbeing.

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.

A foot massage typically lasts between 30-60 minutes.

Foot massages relieve aching feet and legs, reduce tension headaches, improve circulation in the lower limbs, help with plantar fasciitis, reduce stress and anxiety, and promote overall relaxation. Regular foot massage is particularly beneficial for people who stand for long periods.

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.
