About Foot Massage & Reflexology
The acupressure foot massage at Massage Cổ Phong pairs an herbal foot soak with traditional reflexology techniques to quickly release tight calf muscles, ease aching soles and restore the healthy flow of qi and blood.
The 60-minute treatment costs 690,000₫ all-inclusive, covering the herbal foot soak, a warm compress, nourishing herbal soup and fresh juice, with our promise of no hidden extra charges.
How Is Acupressure Foot Massage Different from an Ordinary Foot Rub?
A foot massage at Massage Cổ Phong is about more than rubbing away tiredness. Each treatment works on three levels: an herbal foot soak to soften the muscles and open up the blood vessels, massage from the calves down to the feet to get your circulation going, and acupressure based on the reflexology principles of traditional Eastern medicine to work on the body’s internal organs.
Acupressure Points Targeted During Your Foot Massage
| Acupoint | Location | Effects in Traditional Medicine |
|---|---|---|
| Yongquan (KI1) – Dũng Tuyền | The hollow on the sole, in the front third of the foot | Root point of the Kidney meridian; calms the mind, improves sleep and boosts blood circulation |
| Taichong (LR3) – Thái Xung | On top of the foot, between the big toe and the second toe | Balances qi and blood, relieves stress and headaches, helps stabilize blood pressure |
| Sanyinjiao (SP6) – Tam Âm Giao | Inner side of the lower leg, 3 cun (a traditional body-measurement unit) above the inner ankle bone | Calms the mind, balances hormones, supports digestion and women’s health |
| Bafeng (EX-LE10) – Bát Phong | Eight points in the webbing between the toes | Eases numbness in the toes, relieves joint aches, helps shake off a cold |
| Shangqiu (SP5) – Thương Khâu | Just in front of and below the inner ankle bone | Supports digestion, relieves bloating |
Each point is pressed and kneaded for 30 to 60 seconds with just the right pressure, in the right spot and in the right order. The slight ache you feel as a point is pressed quickly melts into a pleasant sense of relief that spreads through your whole body. This is the heart of the treatment, and it is what sets a properly trained therapist apart from someone who only knows how to give an ordinary rub.

Is a 60-Minute Foot Massage Enough?
If you simply need quick relief after a long day on your feet, 60 minutes is just right to leave your legs feeling light again. If your feet often feel numb and tired, you don’t sleep deeply, or you’d like to include your neck, shoulders and back, the 90-minute full-body massage gives your therapist time to work thoroughly on each area without rushing. We’ve written a detailed guide on this topic: how long should a foot massage be, 30 or 60 minutes.
As for frequency, one or two sessions a week is ideal if you stand or walk a lot. Office workers can stick to one session a week to keep sleep and circulation steady over the long term.
Who Should Come to Cổ Phong for Regular Foot Massages?
- Office workers: Sitting for eight hours straight slows your circulation, leaving your legs tingling and numb and your feet icy cold, even in an air-conditioned room.
- Anyone on their feet all day: Teachers, doctors and nurses, sales staff, chefs, drivers… jobs like these keep your calves constantly tight and leave you aching and worn out by the end of the day.
- Sports lovers and runners: Acupressure and stretching are exactly what your calves need to recover fast, release muscle tension and avoid injury.
- Older adults: Often prone to poor circulation, swollen legs and feet, or frequent cramps and aches at night.
- People with insomnia or frequent headaches from long-term stress: pressing the right points helps clear the meridians and soothe the nerves, so you fall asleep more easily and sleep far more deeply.
- Travelers who spend all day exploring Saigon on foot and need a real place to rest their feet near Bến Thành Market.
A Few Small (but Important) Things to Know Before Your Massage
Foot massage is safe for almost everyone, but please let your therapist know beforehand if any of the following apply to you:
- Pregnancy, especially in the first trimester, as some acupoints on the feet and legs should be avoided.
- Open wounds, skin infections, sprains or fractures in the feet or legs.
- Diabetes with foot complications, blood-clotting disorders or deep vein thrombosis.
- Heart disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure or a high fever.
Before your massage, wash your feet, wear breathable footwear and avoid eating a heavy meal. Afterwards, drink plenty of warm water and skip strenuous exercise so your body can enjoy the full benefits. Foot massage is a complementary therapy and does not replace medical treatment.
Why Choose a Foot Massage at Massage Cổ Phong?
- Therapists who know the acupoints of the feet: Our team is thoroughly trained in the reflex system and knows exactly when to apply firm pressure and when to be gentle, including for guests with special health needs.
- A private, spotless station for every guest: The foot massage area features plush reclining chairs in a warm, dark-wood setting, separated by discreet wooden partitions. Soaking tubs, towels and tools are fresh for every guest.
- Natural herbs and essential oils: The soaking water is simmered with ginger, lemongrass and coarse sea salt. Our essential oils are gentle, absorb quickly and never feel greasy.
- All-inclusive, no surcharges, no tipping: Prices include nourishing herbal soup, fresh juice and tips, so you can relax with complete peace of mind.
- Two central branches, open until 10pm: Easy to drop by after work, whether you’re in District 1 or District 3.
Alongside your foot massage, you can add a full-body massage or an herbal hair wash in the same visit for complete head-to-toe care.

The 60-Minute Foot Massage Process at Massage Cổ Phong
Blending traditional wisdom with modern care for a complete relaxation experience.
-
01
Welcome and herbal foot soak (10 minutes)
You'll be greeted with a warm herbal tea, then soak your feet in water simmered with ginger, lemongrass and coarse sea salt at around 40°C. The warm water dilates the blood vessels, softens the skin and eases your body into a natural state of relaxation. Every guest has their own soaking tub and towels.
-
02
Massage from the calves down to the feet (15 minutes)
Using natural essential oils, your therapist rubs, kneads and glides along your calves and ankles, then down to the soles of your feet. This step warms up the muscles, relieves tight, tired calves and wakes up the reflex zones.
-
03
In-depth acupressure (20 minutes)
Each key acupoint is worked in a set sequence, from Yongquan (KI1) and Taichong (LR3) to Sanyinjiao (SP6) and the spaces between the toes. Your therapist adjusts the pressure based on your feedback: deep enough to stimulate the reflexes, but never painful.
-
04
Relaxation with neck and shoulder care (15 minutes)
While your feet rest, wrapped up warm, your therapist also massages your shoulders, neck and arms so the sense of calm spreads through your entire upper body. To finish, you'll be served a hot, nourishing herbal soup and fresh juice, free of charge.

Benefits of Foot Massage in Traditional and Modern Medicine
When the reflex zones on your feet are stimulated the right way, the effects ripple through your whole body.
For office workers, an after-work foot massage is also a rare moment of quiet when the mind can truly rest. No phone, no deadlines, just the warmth of an herbal foot soak and the skilled hands of your therapist.
Boosts circulation from the legs back to the heart
Reduces numbness, cold feet and swelling, especially if you stand or sit for long hours or wear high heels all day.
Eases aching heels, soles and calves
Tight muscles are softened and the Achilles tendon is loosened, so your step feels noticeably lighter the next morning.
Relaxes the nervous system and improves sleep
Foot massage prompts the body to release endorphins, the neurotransmitters behind positive feelings. Just ten minutes of foot massage before bed is enough to help you fall asleep more easily, and a full acupressure session is many times more effective.
Stimulates reflex zones linked to digestion, the liver and the kidneys
According to traditional medicine, this helps your body run more smoothly from the inside.
Helps stabilize blood pressure and relieve headaches
Many studies have found that regular foot massage helps reduce anxiety and lower blood pressure in people with stressful jobs.
Balances qi and blood through the meridians
Strengthens your natural resistance and eases lingering fatigue that has no clear cause.
