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.

A foot massage focuses on the muscles, tendons, ligaments, and pressure points of the feet and lower legs. Techniques range from Swedish-style relaxation massage to more targeted reflexology, which works with specific points on the feet believed to correspond to organs and systems in the body.

You should also avoid caffeine, alcohol, and strenuous activity for 12-24 hours after a massage to alleviate any lingering soreness.
