FOOT FOR THOUGHT

Toe the line to better health at Relaxing Feet.

Here’s a little-known fact about our feet. Each foot has 26 bones, 19 muscles, 100 ligaments, and 7,200 nerve endings.

Yet, when we think of healthy living, rarely do we give much consideration to the health of our feet. We’re more focused on the heart, lungs, and other organs. No pun intended, but we cannot tiptoe around the importance of having healthy feet.

The team at Lady Lake-based Relaxing Feet understands that foot care plays an extremely important role in achieving overall health. The company, which is owned by Amy Haffner and Jason Huang, offers three important services designed for both relaxation and healing: Reflexology, herbal foot bath, and chair massage.

Herbal foot baths are a wonderful way to battle stress and fatigue. It’s also beneficial for those who have been on their feet all day from walking in a theme park, hiking on a trail, or working in a garden. At Relaxing Feet, clients soak their feet in a bucket of warm water filled with roses and herbal salt. Since the feet have points that correspond to many organs of the body, herbal foot baths can unblock energy channels and activate blood throughout the body.

During reflexology treatments, clients lie in a comfortable foot massage sofa bed while soothing music quietly plays in the background. A warm, moist towel is carefully draped over a client’s face. A therapist gently applies pressure to various points on your feet and other body parts that relate to specific organs and glands in your body. The goal is to enhance the body’s energy pathways.

Tuina, or chair massage, is equally healing and relaxing. It’s a wonderful way to release tight and stiff muscles, reduce soreness, improve joint movement, and remove toxins and lactic acid.

The courteous, friendly staff at Relaxing Feet goes above and beyond to make sure each visit is a special one. And the clean, quiet, and peaceful environment will help you relax through each treatment session.
