Angel Feet - NYC
If you want a relaxing experience try reflexology. Reflexology uses pressure on various points on the feet to help relieve stress and to improve general well being. Or, as the Blatman clinic puts it: "A form of massage in which pressure is applied to certain parts of the feet and hands in order to promote relaxation and healing elsewhere in the body.... based on the belief that each part of the body is interconnected through the nervous system to the hands and feet. Stimulating specific reflex points in the feet can bring needed nutrients to poorly functioning areas of the body. This can help restore balance throughout the body."
I found it so relaxing the first time I went that I went home and slept for five hours afterwards.
There is a wonderful reflexology spa in New York City called Angel Feet. It is located in Greenwich Village on Perry Street in a tiny storefront that can only handle two clients at a time. The atmosphere is wonderfully calm. A session not only makes your tootsies feel great, it can also help work out the kinks in any area of your body that is tense and stressed. Treat yourself ... or a friend!
