Cardiff Thai Foot Massage

Thai Foot Massage is a blessing for those weary and tired feet. It starts off with a long pampering session using a tailor made aromatherapy cream to suit your personal needs and finishes off with a shortened version of foot reflexology.

What can you benefit from?
Some complementary therapy benefits may include easing your pain, relieving fatigue, helping you to relax, lift your mood and give you a feeling of well being. Our therapeutic massage treatments are tailor made for your health needs and stress levels - it's up to you to decide: revitalize, repair, uplift & re-energize yourself, or de-stress and relax?

Thai Foot Massage is really unlike any other in giving a sense of ‘walking on air’ and naturally uplifting vitality. As this foot massage combines relaxing effleurage strokes with revitalising Yoga stretches and targeted reflexology points, you can expect to walk away from the treatment feeling ‘on top of the world’. It achieves this by stimulating any blocked and stagnant energy and transforming it into a boost of positive rejuvenation.

Thai Foot Massage is especially recommended for the warm summer days, after a long day of shopping, as it promotes a sense of refreshing harmony.

Thai Foot Massage Testimonials:

"I recently had Shiatsu massage and Thai Foot massage at City Marshall. The treatment was very relaxing. Philip Marshall certainly knows his stuff! I paid for a hour and a half treatment, and unlike some therapists who shave minutes off, Philip gave me a full hour and a half treatment, offering advice on related topics. The treatment room is very comfortable and Philip is extremely professional. My aches and pains have eased and I have booked another treatment. I would recommend Philip to anyone. I have seen many therapists over the years and Philip is certainly one of the best."
Rebekah Humphries, Risca 8 May 2012

"My customised aromatherapy massage, with thai foot massage left me feeling relaxed, but really refreshed and energised. Phillip is very professional and was really helpful, offering plenty of advice and knowledge. I will definitely be returning for further treatments, along with friends and family."

Your Questions Answered

Why is Thai Foot Massage different to a regular Foot Reflexology?

Foot Reflexology is much more clinical and healing. It follows a very rigid pattern and in terms of therapeutic benefits is really second to none. Thai Foot Massage is much more Holistic in its approach and pampering in its application. Thai Foot Massage also incorporates work on the calf muscles and knees as well as the ceremonial ‘foot bath’ and wooden ‘stick’.

 

Thai Foot Massage is performed oil-free and you may wish to UPGRADE* it by adding:

• Aromatherapy foot bath – melt into the wonders of this wonderful ceremonious start to your foot massage

• Foot reading – 5 to 15 minutes: a journey of discovery for both of us

• Hot or cold stone therapy –  ‘cozy’ toe stones and hot and cold trigger pointing

• Herbal compress –  15 to 15 minutes: a special selection of dried herbs & essential oils

• Shiatsu Facial Massage – 30 minutes of a blissful finale to an amazing routine

• Hopi Ear Candling – 30 minutes as final fine tuning 
• Reiki chakra Balancing – 15 to 15 minutes achieving an even deeper sense of harmony
• Piezo ultrasonic electricity – up to 15 minutes using Quartz crystal stones
• Aromatherapy products – tailor made soaps, shampoos, creams, gels, facial sprays, after shaves and deodorants – carry the feeling home with you in a jar!
