Nothing relaxes me more than a good foot spa. And what is a foot spa without a proper foot massage that will quickly bring me straight to dream land. A lot of people have experienced the pleasures of hitting the right pressure points feeling absolutely relieved instantly. What many don't know is that there is a whole lot more to that than just feeling good.



Here is a list of things that a foot massage can deliver its receiver:

4. Pregnant women, menstruating women and people who are bleeding either internally and externally are not allowed to receive foot reflexology massage.
