Foot Relax

Love Max!!! As it turns out he used to work at Happy Feet in LA! I never forgot his amazing foot massage!

Fantastic hour long massage by Max. His touch is firm yet very detailed. Very professional and I will definitely go back!

I went in specifically to get the reflexology foot massage. I was totally disappointed by the massage. The massage consisted of a lot of hard rubbing in the same place over and over until it was painful and annoying. I really wanted to like this place. I have been to places like this in New York and San Francisco. This was a horrible experience and I really couldn’t wait for it to end.

I love this place. It’s my new favorite foot massage place now. I love how the massage room is set up. Dimmed lights, comfy bed and a bucket of hot water to soak your feet in. I got a one hour full massage for $ 35. The massage was great.!!

I just got a half hour foot relax session and it was not a good experience. The massage itself was average which is acceptable but the noise level in the area was high with other women talking and giggling. The bathroom doors were not closed when filling water and that sound kept me distracted. The masseurs also were whispering to each other throughout the session and this completely took away my ability to relax and enjoy the session. When I complained at the reception, he was not very appreciative of my feedback and dismissed it. When I persisted he called the manager, who authorized 10% cash back. But because I had a card, he could not give it to me and I had to give it away in tips. When I can pay cash in advance for sessions, I don’t understand the inability to refund by the same token.
On top of this, there was a dog in the parlor that almost followed us in. When I got done, the dog was stretched in our path and I literally had to walk over to exit. This part I call out because it doesn’t seem like a professional business environment.
Lastly, the foot relax session calls out hands, shoulder and feet. If this is not possible in 30mins, its good to let the customer know. I was disappointed when it was not complete. The receptionist told me there was not enough time to hit all of those even though the chart calls it out clearly and my shoulders were worked on last time I took half hour session. This makes the service seem variable depending on the day and the person.
I believe that for long term customer satisfaction, when good feedback is provided it should not be ignored and instead customer should be rewarded for this feedback. Imagine other customers that might not say anything but instead never come back and worse, tell others not to go there. I believe I did a wonderful thing by calling out problems because I want to see your business grow. I hope you take this in the right vein, and train your staff to be more quiet and reception to listen and reward feedback. The proper compensation would have been to not charge me for that massage or have me come back for a free session as a make up.

Had an awesome massage here yesterday. Highly recommended!
I didn’t have any uncomfortable situations, even with a male massage therapist. You stay fully clothed, ladies I’d suggest wearing yoga pants &a tank top, something along those lines.
Now, this place is no frills, and might be a bit off putting to folks, if you’re used to the day spa type places. However, if that’s not an issue to you, I’d say give them a try. $ 35/​hour and they worked out all the kinks, and my foot massage was wonderful.

Written as a redemption to the harassment excuse of a massage I signed myself up4 months ago at Beijing FM.
I was paranoid walking in. Did my research last night and this morning, saw at least 3 reviews on Unilocal at various foot massage parlors talking about girls having uncomfortable massage experiences. Was it that common? So I asked myself if I should shell out a hundred plus to go to a «legit» day spa, just to have the same massage, but in a brighter lit and less risky establishment. No, let’s not lose hope, at a place that has only 33 reviews and might benefit from one more.
I told the manager/​front desk guy that I’m not taking off my shirt or any article of clothing today. He laughed and said «we don’t do that here». Skeptical still. As he showed me to my couch/​massage table thing, I saw on the wall «Do not take off your clothes here». Awesome; I appreciate the regulation.
Massage was good. My guy worked into all the trouble areas and I feel great already. He was a little short of the full 60 minutes, but today, that’s okay. The time he spent was good, and they were behind on their appointments (I was a walk in). Won’t tell you who I got, up to you to come in, try it yourself, and let us know that Foot Relax wasn’t just a «lucky me, I got a good masseuse and good experience». I’m guessing this is a well run, customer 1^st business. Happy to find a new go-​to I can start to trust.
A massage place leaving you feeling grateful is the place you want to be. If you’re going to put your hard earned $ 35+t, put it somewhere you trust. From start to finish, a comfortable and rejuvinating experience.

I have been going to Foot Relax for years, and I always leave thinking I need to go more often. Cindy and Jason are two of my favorite practitioners. I prefer deep tissue and sports therapy style massage, which is why I enjoy this place so much.
I’ve been going to massage for years and have tried all the major (and many lesser known) styles, but I keep coming back to Tui Na, because it is so effective at relieving tension and soreness. I have been to massage therapists in Beijing and Shanghai, and Foot Relax is every bit as good. They do a great job of catering the traditional techniques for an American clientele.
My husband has a doctorate in acupuncture and has experience in Tui Na, and he will testify to their high level of expertise. You will leave feeling relaxed with a sense of improved overall wellbeing.
A fun tip: We often bring out of town guests here their first morning in town to help them relax on vacation.

Based on the good review, I had bad experienced… called in to schedule appointment and was taken in right away. The massage was not that great, she missed all the pressure point and it was more like a light hands rub all over my body. They should change their warm towel to 100% cotton because that towel was made out of rocks. I felt like she massage at unnecessary area to wasted time. For instance, she rub the top of my toes and the space between them for a good 5 minutes. Who does that? I opened my eyes the whole time because she did not hit any pressure point nor does it feel good. The back massage with a towel over you was uncomfortable. Too much elbows and way too much pressure. I’m very disappointed…

I just walked ((floated)) out of «Foot Relax.» My whole body feels new. I am refreshed. I am literally euphoric. This was my FIRST massage!!! I will never go another place for massage. The staff is professional, respectful, kind. The place is clean the ambience is wonderful it smells beautiful there is soft music, the man that I got was Jason and he was out of this world amazing. They were so respectful they just made you feel like you’re a queen. My body has been tense and storing up much pain and this melted away years of stress in 60 minutes. This is not a typical massage. It is deep tissue, reflexology, with much more. I was beyond impressed. I am floored. I like these people very much. Lots of peace in this place. Just WOW Wow wow!!!

Jeff is amazing. Don’t let his soft hands fool you, he could crush rocks with them. The husband and I both got massages for our anniversary. I has the $ 35 foot relax, which is an hour and is your entire body with your clothes on. Hubby had the back massage in the chair. Both EXCELLENT and well worth the money. This place is a gem.

Love this place. Love it! The store front is a typical strip center store front, but WOW was I surprised the first time I went through the lobby doors and into the massage area. It looks and smells like a high dollar spa. The lighting is subdued, there are brown sheers between every work station, and if there’s any music it’s very quiet because I don’t remember it.
You lay fully clothed on a low, bench-​like massage table. Very different from the waist high ones I’d experienced before. You start on your back with your legs bent at the knees and your feet in a warm basin of water. The full body (clothed) massage can be downright aggressive. A girlfriend who was with me the first time said «I don’t think I can handle that much relaxation again,» but I think it’s great. They spent about 15 minutes on the feet then you turn over and have your front side massaged.
It sounds like a joke when i say this place isn’t «touchy feely.» You know how a lot of massage therapist talk about your feelings and the energy you’re releasing, and they look at your soulfully like they’re really giving you the gift of healing — well this ain’t like that. While not unfriendly, the massage therapists get right down to business and there’s no soul searching afterwards.
It’s wise but not necessary to make an appointment. If you’re the first appointment of the day, the cost is only $ 25 not $ 35. Now that’s a deal you can’t beat with a stick! I like the explore the MT Market afterwards and then have lunch at TC Noodle House, all located in the same shopping complex.

I just love this place! I’ve gone here several times and loved all of it. I get the $ 35 special with the foot massage and clothed body massage. I leave feeling drunk from being so relaxed. I was in a bad wreck a year ago and one of these a week or every other week keeps the pain away. Be prepared and wear tight clothes like workout clothing to get the best massage. This isn’t a nice spa type massage. This is a deep and sometimes painful massage to your body and feet. It’s worth it and it gets easier the more you go. I’ve never had anyone work out the knots in my back like this place. Amazing. The place is decorated nicely and the music and décor makes me very relaxed. It’s always very clean, too. I usually ask for a medium strength massage.

I love Foot Relax. I have been to several foot reflexology places in Austin and this is by far the best. It was very relaxing with its dimmed rooms and soothing music. I have tried Yoyo and Wallace, both gave excellent massages. I will be back.

Full disclosure: I am a massage therapist. I was given a gift card to Foot Relax by one of my clients who came here while I was on maternity leave and had only nice things to say. So after a year of procrastinating and excuses, I came here after weekend one of ACL 2013 to get a «recharge». The 60 minute Foot relax service was amazing. Nice hot water foot soak while therapist works on shoulders, neck, arms and hands followed by awesome foot/​calf reflexology. Then you flip face down and finish with more leg and neck plus full back treatment all while full and comfortably clothed. (It helps if you wear shorts or Capri pants). I have been back & today finished off my gift card with a second session from Wallace (came last Monday after ACL, too!) I read many reviews of similar reflexology places in town with hit or miss results and drove all way back to Braker and Lamar from Manchaca/​Wm Cannon because I have had 6 sessions from 5 therapists and ALL WERE AWESOME. I have scheduled appointments as
30 min in advance and walked. right in with little or no wait. James at the front desk has always been very pleasant and helpful, too. Tipping is posted as optional, but for. such a great price,($ ³⁵⁄₆₀ minutes) I have no problem leaving an additional $ 10! They have won an Austin Chronicle «Best of.» award, too and with good reason. I will certainly be back, and am considering another multi session card. (10 sessions& get 2 free). Stellar.

Umm… Heaven. I literally feel high and out of body and wonderful and amazing and wow and wow. I think I may give up spending money on food and just come here for now on.

EXCELLENT VALUE. $ 20 for 30min back massage that was very good. Don’t be fooled by the outside appearance of the building. Nice, friendly staff. Clean interior. Skilled hands.

This place is WONDERFUL! A hidden treasure, for sure. I wish there were more locations. For $ 35.00, you can get an hour long full body massage. The first time I went, I was 9 months pregnant and I thought this might help induce labor. It didn’t, but I left a happy happy client!

There are not enough stars to give. My tension submits to their mastery.
The massage is giving in a common room. The lights are dimmed. You remain clothed and and draped. Even through those layers, the work was deep enough to really make a difference.
If you believe in chi then you will feel it moving.

$ 35 One hour massage… tell me more, tell me more.
Why so cheap? Who knows, this is my happy place. Yes, I like it cheap and good. Jason is my preferred massouce and he’s got some monster hands. There’s nothing like having a 200lb man hammer the knots out of your back and more importantly rub your feet. Even though they call it a foot massage you really do get a full body. Unlike typical spas, the massages here are with your clothes on, so no thoughts of happy endings for all you perves out there, sorry. This joint is legit.
The interior is pretty basic and it reminds me of my grandma’s house. Which means very clean, quiet, walls decked with oriental décor, aka very Asian. There are 2 private rooms available at $ 5 p/​p otherwise you’re in the open with only sheer curtains separating you and the next vulnerable body that’s getting rubbed.
Walk-​ins are always welcome and they do accept credit cards. If you frequent here often ask for a punch card.
Reccomdations: Jason or YoYo for deep tissue.
Enjoy, happy time.
