A grounding therapy to rebalance the whole body
At Metta Yoga & Massage, we offer Thai Foot Reflexology as a deeply restorative and therapeutic treatment — perfect for those seeking natural relief from tension, fatigue, and imbalance. Drawing from ancient Thai healing traditions, this therapy goes far beyond a regular foot massage. It works on both physical and energetic levels, using massage, acupressure, and reflex stimulation to bring the entire body back into a more relaxed and harmonious state.
Available at both our Bath and Bristol clinics, Thai Foot Reflexology is suitable for all and particularly beneficial during times of stress, low energy, or seasonal change.
What Is Thai Foot Reflexology?
Thai Foot Reflexology is rooted in traditional Thai medicine and focuses on applying pressure to specific reflex points on the feet and lower legs. These points are believed to correspond with various organs and systems in the body — such as the liver, lungs, digestive tract, spine, and sinuses.
What makes Thai reflexology unique is its integration of Sen lines — invisible energy pathways that run throughout the body, similar to meridians in Traditional Chinese Medicine or nadis in yogic philosophy. During treatment, gentle yet firm massage and acupressure is applied along these lines in the feet and lower legs to stimulate energy flow, support circulation, and clear stagnation.
The treatment uses hands, thumbs, knuckles, and a traditional wooden reflexology stick, along with soothing oils or balms, to create a rhythmic and deeply calming experience.
Benefits of Thai Foot Reflexology
This is not just a treat for tired feet — it’s a whole-body reset. Some of the many benefits include:
Stimulates the nervous system and supports parasympathetic relaxation
Encourages lymphatic drainage and natural detoxification
Improves circulation and reduces swelling in the feet and ankles
Eases stress, anxiety, and mental tension
Supports digestion and gut motility
Relieves insomnia and supports deeper sleep
Reduces fatigue, especially in the legs and lower back
Alleviates symptoms of headaches, sinus congestion, and brain fog
Improves energy levels and overall vitality
Enhances immune system response through detox and relaxation
Many clients describe feeling lighter, calmer, more energised — and sleeping more deeply — after just one session.
What to Expect in a Session
Your treatment will begin with a short consultation to assess how you're feeling and what you'd like support with. You'll then lie back and relax while your feet and lower legs are cleansed and massaged. Using the wooden stick and a special blend of oil or balm, firm but gentle pressure is applied to reflex points and Sen lines to restore balance.
The experience is soothing, methodical, and meditative — perfect for those who feel stressed, overwhelmed, or simply in need of a reset.
