Thai Foot Massage in Edinburgh

Thai foot massage and reflexology

Reflexology is based on the idea that points on the feet correspond to other parts of the body. Thai foot massage shares that thinking, but it is a broader, more hands-on treatment: thumb pressure across the soles, kneading through the calves, gentle stretches of the toes and ankles, and long strokes up the lower legs.

Whatever you make of the theory, most people agree on the result: tired, heavy feet feel lighter, and the rest of you relaxes too. We describe this as a reflexology-style massage rather than clinical reflexology.

Made for Edinburgh's hills

Edinburgh is a walking city. The Royal Mile, Arthur's Seat, Calton Hill and the cobbles of the Old Town are wonderful, and hard on the feet. Our spa is on Morrison Street, a short walk from Haymarket station, so it is an easy stop on the way back to your hotel or train.

• 30 minutes: a quick reset for tired feet.
• 60 minutes: feet, ankles and calves with time to properly relax.
• Want more? Pair it with a back, neck and shoulder massage, or book a full Thai combination massage.

A good choice if you are new to massage

Because you only roll your trousers up to the knee, a foot massage is a gentle introduction for anyone who feels shy about a full body treatment. It is also lovely during pregnancy, though we would suggest our dedicated pregnancy massage so we can tailor every part of the session to you.

What happens during your Thai foot massage

1. You sit back in a comfortable position and roll your trousers to the knee.
2. Your feet are cleansed and warmed.
3. Thumb pressure works across the soles, heels and toes, adjusted to your comfort.
4. Kneading and long strokes move up through the ankles and calves.
5. Gentle stretches of the toes and ankles to finish.
