What types of foot massage are there?
Reflexology - this massage technique uses pressure points that are connected to specific areas of the body. A massage therapist will massage those pressure points to ease pain or tension all over your body.
Swedish foot massage - this is considered the most relaxing type of massage. Many people get a Swedish foot massage to soothe their tired feet at the end of a long day or a stressful week.
Deep-tissue foot massage - intense pressure is applied to certain areas of the feet in a deep-tissue massage. Athletes often utilize this technique to help recover from muscle or tissue injuries.
Hot stone massage - the masseuse uses a heated stone to perform the massage. This technique can also help soothe tired foot muscles.
