Based on the principles of reflexology, TSUBOKI Japanese Foot Massage is a way of reaching the whole body through the feet and like Shiatsu it is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine theory and works on the meridians that run through the body. By massaging the acupressure points it allows the energy to flow freely helping to restore any energy blockages that if left stagnant may lead to ill health.

​Health benefits of foot massage
Our feet are our foundation, if our feet hurt this can cause problems with posture and how we walk. If our feet are in good shape then we will be too. The meridians that run through the feet reach to almost the whole body which means we are affecting the whole energy system.

​What happens in a treatment
Your treatment takes place on a comfortable couch in a warm and relaxing environment. Please make sure your feet are clean before your massage.

• I start the massage with lotion to warm up the feet and lower legs to help relax and stimulate the nerves that affect different parts of the body.
• I then work more deeply to increase circulation, to tone and relax all muscles of your feet. The lotion moisturises the skin of your feet, which can get quite dry and cracked.
• Pressing tsubos on the meridians of the foot encourages the flow of chi energy through the meridians. Each tsubo has its own specific benefits, but the aim of this massage is to balance the overall energy flow. 
• At the end of the session you feel more grounded and relaxed.
• Price - £45 for 45 minutes.

Some symptoms helped with foot massage:-
Neuropathy - acupressure and massage helps neuropathy symptoms in the legs and feet. The blood sometimes can’t overcome gravity and it is stuck in the legs causing them to numb and swell. With acupressure, we gently enable blood flow back to the body and reduce swelling.
​
Plantar Fasciitis​ - massage can reduce plantar fasciitis pain by reducing muscular tension in the calves which are causing tension in the plantar fascia tendon.
