Foot massage

After a day on your feet in the kitchen, at work or at a function, a foot massage helps them recover. The beautician massages the soles, arches, heels and toes with oil or cream, then works up to the ankles and calves.

She uses firm strokes along the arch and gentler ones around the ankle bones, and adjusts the pressure to what feels good to you. The basic version takes about 10 minutes, and the price starts from the price shown, with longer sessions agreed before she continues.

Sit in a comfortable chair with your feet on a stool or towel. Tell her if you have swelling, a recent injury or are pregnant.
