Foot acupressure massage at home: what it feels like and how to prepare
Updated October 22, 2026 · 2 min read
Foot acupressure massage is a favourite after a day of standing, walking or wearing shoes for hours. This post explains what it feels like, how long it takes and how to prepare at home.
What foot acupressure massage is
It's a treatment that massages and presses points on the soles, ankles and calves. You sit back or lie down and barely need to change clothes, which makes it very convenient at home.
It usually feels warm, leaves your legs lighter and your whole body relaxed. A few points may feel a little sore; just tell the therapist and they'll adjust the pressure.
Who it suits
Many kinds of guests choose this treatment:
- People who stand a lot: shop staff, teachers, nurses, chefs.
- People who have just been walking, travelling or running.
- Older people who want a gentle treatment without lying face down.
Duration and price
On MiMi, foot acupressure massage comes in 60 and 90 minutes, from ₫250,000. If you want both your feet and your whole body done, you can choose the After a day of walking combo (from ₫520,000). The price is shown in the app before you book, with no need to tip.
Preparing at home
You only need a few simple things:
- A reclining chair or sofa to sit comfortably, or a bed if you'd rather lie down.
- A large towel to put under your feet.
- Wash your feet before the therapist arrives.
- Tell the therapist in advance if you have wounds, a fungal infection, varicose veins or are pregnant.
