Practiced for thousand of years, originating in Egypt and China, foot reflexology is the art of massage using pressure points to relieve tension and stress, and possibly improve circulation. Last June, my husband, son, and I tried it for the first time in Middleton at Foot Worx Reflexology and we were hooked!
No need to undress -- shorts, Capri pants, or pants that can roll above the knee are best. It begins with a back, neck, and arm massage while sitting, as your feet soak in warm water. Then you lie back under a blanket while the practitioner massages your lower legs and feet, applying light pressure to various areas. Soothing music plays in the background and the experience wonderfully concludes with a hot stone rub. The best part? It only costs $30 for 30 minutes! In actuality, with the back/neck/arm massage, you are typically there about 45 minutes. And, trust me, you will not want to leave! Want to connect with your teen? Schedule an appointment together -- or even bring the whole family. Go with someone you like a whole lot -- your partner and friends will thank you for it. Need a wedding shower gift? Buy the couple a session to help relax them before the big day. But most of all, do it for yourself -- you MAY because you deserve it! Heck, I've been twice this month!
Foot Worx Reflexology is located at 244 South Main Street (in the Dairy Queen plaza) in Middleton, MA. To schedule an appointment, call 978-539-8966.
