Hammy's Hangout: Foot Zone

I have been longing to go to Foot Zone, Greenhills because I have been feeling a lot of stress lately especially with my back. I am not sure if this is caused by work, lack of sleep, or pressure from getting a date this coming Valentine's day (Ha!Ha!Ha!). I have been asking friends or colleagues to have body massage with me for the past 2 weeks but to no avail nobody heeded my call.

So last Sunday, I decided to go alone. This will be my second time to go to Foot Zone and the first was last November. As advised by menardconnect on his post, it is recommended to call them for a reservation instead of being a walk-in client. This way, you will avoid the hassle of waiting for an available therapist or room.

So I called a reservation for 6 PM and I was asked by the receptionist which one I prefer, a local therapist or a Chinese specialist. I have asked him what's the difference between the two, he informed that the Chinese specialist knows acupuncture and can identify the pressure points needed to be attended to. I opted for the regular therapist since I do not feel the need of any specialist as of the moment.

I arrived past 6 PM and I was immediately ushered to a small room with two lazy boy chair. One thing I like about their rooms is that they have cable television that you can watch while waiting for your therapist or even during the massage session.

Their massage style differs greatly with the style we normally see in the other massage clinics as they specialize in foot reflexology. They use less oil so you feel less grease after the session. They also have this wooden hammer or mallet tapped in your leg area continuously which at first will be uncomfortable but will provide soothing relief afterward.

My overall experience with Foot Zone was one of the best. I would recommend you to visit them especially if you want a good massage service. A session that usually takes an hour and 20 minutes will cost 500 PHP for regular therapist and 600 PHP for the specialist. I will say this is a good deal for a relaxing massage.
