Body Central, San Mateo

Clients can put their best foot forward after a visit to Body Central, where certified therapists untangle tendons and massage soles through reflexology and full-body modalities. Reclining chairs line the low-lit studio in which therapists render reflexology treatments—an ancient technique that stimulates pressure points with the aim of relaxing corresponding physical areas. Individuals or couples receive their choice of massage services, which may include Swedish, deep-tissue, or hot-stone treatments, in private rooms.
