Pressure Relieves It: Find Your Footing with Happy Therapy

Everyday activity can wear on your tootsies. If you’re also physically fit, chances are your workouts are also doing a number on the base of your stems.

Reflexology is a holistic practice where pressure is applied to feet, hands or ears without the use of oil or lotion. The natural massage is supposed to alleviate tension, improve circulation and promote the natural function of the related areas of the body, according to the Reflexology Association of Canada.

in Lemon Grove is owned and operated by Diane Revelle, a licensed therapist since 1977. Treatment includes a whirlpool foot bath, aromatherapy, organic tea, soft music and scented candles to soothe riled senses.

The relaxing peppermint and Epsom Salt foot bath help you soak in goodness before the best part of the visit: the massage. At just $35, the one-hour treatment is sure to keep your feet dancing.

While reflexology shouldn’t be used in place of regular medical check-ups, exercise or proper nutrition, reflexologists believe the practice may relieve certain health conditions, such as asthma, stress, depression and high blood pressure.
