If a mother’s work is never done, her feet must be working overtime. For a relaxing, affordable and relatively quick option that mothers can easily fit into their otherwise busy days, consider purchasing a gift certificate for a foot massage this Mother’s Day.

Spas specializing in foot massage have sprung up throughout metro Atlanta in recent years. While not a full body massage, these salons offer a foot and calf massage, typically with a short shoulder, arm and neck massage. Many incorporate reflexology and other perks such as heated neck wraps, eye masks and fully reclining chairs.

The large room can accommodate up to 12 guests, and while the room is basic, the massages are good.

Treat Your Feet

Treat Your Feet in Buckhead is a no-frills spa conveniently located near Lenox Square Mall that takes both appointments and walk-in guests. The darkly lit lobby was bustling on a recent weekend visit. Service is prompt, and guests are ushered into rooms of various sizes, with the largest space consisting of three rows of four chairs.

Beginning with a quick soak in a bucket of warm water, the massage therapist follows with a relaxing foot and leg massage. While not necessarily a luxurious treatment, the massage therapist was competent, the room was dark and quiet, and it was easy to calm one’s mind and completely relax.

Best Features:
• Pleasant, professional massage therapist who used the appropriate amount of pressure throughout foot and calf massage.
• Easily accessible, intown location.
Areas for Improvement:
• First massage therapist had a strong smell of tobacco; would recommend requesting smoke-free therapist at time of booking.
• Back, shoulders and neck massage were outside of the therapist’s expertise.
• Had trouble reaching spa by phone and voicemail was full; recommend online booking.

Entrance to Heavenly Foot Massage is easily accessible and parking is plentiful.

Heavenly Foot Massage

Next up was Heavenly Foot Massage, located in a shopping center near the intersection of Mt. Vernon Road and Jett Ferry Road in Dunwoody. True to its name, this massage was truly ethereal from beginning to end.

With its calming interior design and white color scheme, the environment is inviting and intentionally created to encourage relaxation. Upon entering the reception area, guests are greeted by their massage therapist and asked to select one of three bath salts, including lavender and eucalyptus, for their foot soak.

In the back room is where the magic happens.

The manager, Roberto, warmly greets guests as they enter the spa.

While soaking the feet, a client’s shoulders, neck, arms and head are expertly massaged by the therapist using what seems to be a methodical approach designed to completely work out any kinks and stress. Next, the client’s feet and legs are massaged with just the right amount of pressure suited to each person’s preference.

The session ends with a warm stone massage. During a recent visit, the “Polish and Renew” add-on was included before the massage, which consists of a gentle foot exfoliation, followed by application of a warm lotion before putting the client’s feet into heated booties. This intensive skin hydration wrap left this reviewer’s feet feeling soft for days.

To say the experience at Heavenly Foot Massage was wonderful would be an understatement. For this mother, it has probably been the most relaxing hour in a month! Frankly, many people, including this reviewer, may prefer it to traditional massages.

First up: in the lobby, clients select which bath salt they would like for their foot soak.

The massage is relaxing and restorative, the chairs large and comfortable, and the space itself invites meditation or rest. The spa is also impeccably clean and the rooms are not overcrowded.

Best Features:
• I would say it’s the best massage in Atlanta for a reasonable cost.
• Upscale, relaxing environment.
• Knowledgeable, kind and professional massage therapists.
• Ample parking
Area for Improvement:
• Background music could be lowered.

Moms spend a great deal of time on their feet, taking care of their families, working and exercising. Research shows that foot massage improves circulation, stimulates muscles, reduces tension, and often eases pain.

This Mother’s Day, consider a gift that will make her toes — and psyche — twinkle again. A foot massage at one of Atlanta’s many foot massage studios is guaranteed to take her off her feet and into a world of relaxation. And what mother would turn down such an offer? Certainly not this one!
