The best spas can be found on the other side of the planet, in Phuket, Thailand, to be exact. Here is where people can spend their fast cash loans and not regret it. People who run world-class spas in that wonderful place know that their customers—who come from all parts of the world—deserve 5-star treatment, including a few days of sheer pampering. The world famous Thai massage can really invigorate tired and stressed city dwellers, from any city in the world even. But the most wonderful to have is a luxurious foot massage, which the Thais have perfected to a T. With a Mai Tai and a comfy bath robe, customers can have this one of a kind experience.

However, for those who can’t go to Thailand and have a great foot massage, they could settle for a good one in the nearest spa. People who want to experience the full spa treatment should plan to take out a small payday advance because it could be quite expensive. An express spa treatment, which includes a 30-minute massage, starts at $30. However, if client want other specific services like facials and collagen masks, it could go as high as $95 per visit. But for those who want a good foot massage or reflexology (this is applying different pressures on specific areas of the foot to relieve tension and pain in other parts of the body, not just the feet), they don’t have to spend much. They don’t even have to buy expensive foot and leg massagers that cost from $300 to $400 a unit. Simple foot massages and reflexology can be learned and applied by everyone. Here a few tips to try and remember.

  • Soak feet in warm water mixed with aromatherapy oils for at least 10 minutes.

  • After a good soaking, wrap both feet tightly in a warm towel. This is to open the pores of the feet and allow the aromatherapy oils to soak in.

  • Unwrap one foot, and with the fingers, press the sides and sole upward and downward. Do this in rapid motion.

  • Make little kneading motions on each toe. Follow through with a sweeping massage of the whole toe.

  • Knead also the small balls of each foot.

  • Massage calf muscles in upward and downward strokes.

  • Wrap the massaged foot again. After another 10 minutes, towel dry completely.

A thorough foot massage or reflexology is practical alternative to whole body spas. Aside from easing problems in different areas of the body, a good foot massage loosens tired muscles, decreases tension, and improves the circulation.
