Lily Foot Massage, Mercer Island

Though foot massage may not seem like an obvious way to alleviate digestive problems or back pain, the staff at Lux Foot Spa swear by it. In fact, reflexology has been used for thousands of years to treat a wide variety of ailments. Practitioners manipulate pressure points in the feet that many believe correspond to different areas of the body, such as the stomach, the sciatic nerve, or the bionic claw installed by meddling mad scientists. Lux also offers hand reflexology, which is based on similar principles, as well as traditional body and scalp massages.
