Marty Backe Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 For awhile now I've been thinking of getting a good foot massage, to keep my feet in top condition for riding I finally got around to trying a local (1/2-mile from my house) Korean Foot Spa. Awesome. For $20 you get a 1-hour massage; face, hands, and feet with the feet being about 30-minutes worth. Amazing how good your feet feel afterwards. I don't know how they can manage those prices. It may have something to do with none of them knowing any English. I got the impression that it was a family business - the woman that worked on me looked looked she may have been the daughter of the older couple that ran it. The "Spa" has been there for at least a few years and is very nice inside. I'll be keeping my feet in tip-top shape for my future riding.

Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Maybe because you didn't order and tip them big time for the "happy ending" in the back room? Hard to pay the bills on just a crisp $20. Actually I'm quite offended that someone regards the Off Topic forum as the place where "worthless posts" are supposed to go. There's plenty of useful content in there! It's actually a very good idea to get a foot massage after a ride, and I never knew they were that inexpensive. I think it really helps riders and plants that seed to maybe try it out for themselves. Feet do get tired after a long roll. Plus it would help the massage industry if we all supported them more than some of us do already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I specifically tried the massage because of the abuse that my feet get on my 40+ mile rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Crossett Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I think this is totally on-topic. I have issues with foot pain and any ideas on how to address are definitely helpful! I've found that my foot position on the pedals is making a huge difference for me. Keeping my heels on the pedal and let toes run off has been my best strategy. But even with this, ideas like massage sound very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve454 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Foot massages are good for your overall heath as well. The reflexology points in the feet are connected to the whole body. I've enjoyed them at least once a month for years. And if you find a good masseuse, it feels so good and relaxing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scubadragonsan Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Consider investing in a good foot massager? I have been using some massage chairs for over 10 years. I can undoubtedly say that, contrary to the common opinions that masseuses are better than chairs, good massage chairs are better than 80-90% of the masseuses. Another solution is get a KS18S for long distance travelling. I love to be able to sit down when my feet are feeling numb or sore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you have to ask for less pressure and even then it doesn't feel all that good sometimes. My favorite masseuse moved back to China. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gon2fast Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Marty's concept is correct for us who stand for so long. Be careful and also be sure to find legit businesses who provide this service as the establishments that operate illegally most often prey on human trafficking. Downer phil, sorry...
