It is believed that a Chinese foot massage can not only maintain and promote health but also cure a variety of ailments. In this video, I get a traditional foot massage and see if the benefits are as legit as they say.
Traditional Chinese foot massages start off with a footbath and proceed to an intense massage of the feet, ankles, and legs.
At times it’s soothing. Other times it’s actually quite painful. But as the dexterous hands of a foot masseuse plow over my soles, I want to believe my body is experiencing an intense detoxification, or something like that.
Price: 40 yuan /1 hour (~$6.25)
I’m glad you could join me today as I learned a little bit about Chinese foot reflexology and tried it out for myself. Thanks for watching, and be sure to subscribe.

- FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOURE BACK I missed you so much and your videos. Please keep it up
- Ha, I didn’t know they do the cupping thing on feet. So glad you are still making videos!
- $7? Nice. I love it when I am traveling in Asia and stuff are so cheap with great service. I went to Japan last year and I was again surprised by food prices compared to here in Canada. $7 is way nicer than $80 here in CDN..
- I work as massage therapist and I strongly recomended it , they are the best reflexology in EEUU as well Corean people in manicure and pedicure
- I miss the foot massage a lot and the price! cant wait to go back to china next summer! Btw i really appreciate that you live like a local in china and you would like to experience those most typical things! I hope you start to love my country or you already did 🙂 Greetings from Spain
- Kevin, glad you finally emerged from long time absence of youtube 🙂 Just want to make one correction: Foot Massage is not really long Chinese tradition or culture. China has no foot massage in past, it only became popular in the later 90s because people from Hong Kong demand it in S. China. All those chart you saw on the wall is nothing but some fancy drawing from god knows who. In anyway, it is always relaxing to get one regardless whatever effect it has on you. I always took one when I do a long fly to China.
- Hey kevin. I’m a massage therapist and yes reflexology is relaxing but man people love getting their feet and back worked on. Have you tried Thai foot massage? It’s pretty intense!!
- Could you do one again and at least show how they massage the soles and what body part it relates too? This shop looked a little too small for proper filming..
- I had this done while I was in Shanghai not too long ago. what is in that tea and I want to know what oil. My feet were soft for weeks. I cannot wait to have this done when I go back this year.
