Question 1

Should I book 30 minutes or 60?

Accepted Answer

A 30-minute session ($50) covers the feet and is plenty if you want a quick reset between meetings or before a flight. 60 minutes ($80) is the most-booked length — it adds the calves and lower legs and is what most regulars settle into. The session is fully clothed and the room is dim, so even the 60-minute option flies by faster than people expect.

Question 2

Does the reflexology theory actually work, or is it pseudoscience?

Accepted Answer

Honest answer — the medical literature on reflex points predicting whole-body conditions is mixed. What is not in dispute is that the feet are densely innervated, that releasing chronic foot tension visibly changes posture and gait, and that the service feels genuinely restorative. We work from the traditional reflex map because it gives a structured way to cover every zone of the foot, but we ground the session in what your body is telling us, not dogma.

Question 3

I run on the W&OD trail every weekend — is this good for runners?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and it is one of our most common use cases. Runners who hit the W&OD or Capital Crescent trails get plantar fascia tightness, mid-foot stiffness, and calf compression that a generic massage misses entirely. We will spend real time on the plantar fascia, the Achilles, the soleus, and the peroneals. Pair it with the hot stone add-on after a long run and you will feel the difference at Monday's pace.

Question 4

Can I add other treatments to a foot massage?

Accepted Answer

Hot stone ($20) on the soles is the most popular pairing — five extra minutes of warmth that completely changes the experience. Essential oil ($20) is the second most common. Body scrub and cupping are also available. If you want a foot-focused session that also addresses the rest of the body, look at the longer Swedish or Deep Tissue ladders instead.

Question 5

What if I want foot work AND a full-body massage?

Accepted Answer

Foot Massage at TAO is foot-focused only — 30 or 60 minutes of mapped reflexology, nothing else. If you want full-body emphasis with extra time on the feet, book a 90- or 120-minute Swedish, Deep Tissue, or TAO Signature Combo and ask for foot focus at check-in — your therapist will weight the session accordingly.
