About Foot Massage
Feet take more strain than any other part of the body carrying full body weight across every step, squeezed into shoes all day, rarely given the kind of care the rest of the body gets. A foot scrub and massage in Inverness at Cholly’s addresses both sides of that neglect: first, a warm exfoliating scrub to soften and renew the skin, then a thorough massage working through the sole, heel, arch, and toes using pressure-point technique rooted in Cholly’s decade of Thai bodywork training.
This is not a surface-level pamper treatment. The foot contains over 7,000 nerve endings, and skilled pressure work across the sole and around the ankle genuinely releases tension — not just locally, but through the whole body. Many clients who come in for tired feet leave feeling like they had a full-body session.
It is also the treatment that every visit to Cholly’s begins with in miniature her signature foot-washing ritual that opens every appointment. The dedicated foot scrub and massage takes that ritual and expands it into a full treatment of its own.
In Cholly's Own Words
“I’ve always believed you can tell a lot about someone’s tension from their feet where they hold weight, which parts are overworked, how tight the fascia is through the arch. The scrub at the start softens everything up and is a nice moment to switch off, then the massage itself I treat as seriously as any other part of the body. I use the same pressure-point approach I use in Thai massage it’s not just rubbing, it’s following specific lines through the foot that connect to the rest of the body. People are usually quite surprised at how much they feel it everywhere, not just in their feet.” – Cholly Saidoung, Thai massage therapist, Cholly’s Thai Massage & Therapy, Inverness
