— The undressing problem
The only thing you take off is your shoes.
A reflexology session asks exactly one thing of you, and that is your footwear. You sit in a padded recliner, tipped back, in a quiet room. Socks come off, trouser legs go up a few inches, and that is the entire preparation — no sheet to manage, no changing room, no minute spent alone working out how much to remove, and your therapist's hands stay in your eyeline throughout.
Which sounds minor until you know how often it decides the matter. For a great many people the obstacle is not the money and not the hour; it is getting down to their underwear in a dim room with somebody they met four minutes ago. That is a bigger ask than this industry likes to admit, and why a gift card from two Christmases ago is still in a kitchen drawer. If you have never had a massage, or had one once and spent the hour quietly tense about the towel, this is the version to book — and nobody at the desk will ask why you picked the seated one.
It runs $55 for half an hour, $65 for forty-five minutes and $80 for a full hour — the same figures as the 30- and 60-minute table sessions on the published menu. Choosing the version that asks less of you costs nothing extra.
It is also quieter than people expect. Feet are a long way from your head, and being worked on down there in your own clothes lets people switch off faster than a table does — we have had guests asleep in the recliner at eleven on a Tuesday morning, coat still on the hook.
— Door to door
What a session looks like from the moment you walk in.
No ritual, no mystery, nothing you need to prepare for. Here is the whole thing in order.
Door to door: your session length plus about five minutes at either end.
- You arrive. Five minutes early is plenty on a first visit — a short form and one sentence about your feet.
- You sit down. A recliner, tipped back, blanket if you want one. Shoes and socks off, trouser legs rolled to mid-calf.
- Warm towel, then oil or balm. Your therapist starts at the ankle and works down, warming the foot before any real pressure goes anywhere.
- Thumbs, knuckles, sole to toes. Slow pressure through the arch, heel and ball of the foot, each toe in turn, then back up through the calf.
- You say if it is too much. Feet vary enormously — some people want it firm enough to grip the armrest, others half that. Say the word and it moves.
- You stand up and leave. No shower, no changing room, no oil in your hair. Socks back on, out the door, back to the afternoon.
— Hard floors and league nights
If you are on your feet all day.
Retail floors, nursing shifts, teaching, restaurant service, warehouse aisles. Twelve thousand steps on a hard floor is a different species of tired from a desk day, and it lands in the arch, the heel and the calf rather than anywhere near the shoulders. That is the group this session was built around, and why the last appointment of the evening is so often somebody who clocked out at eight.
Chaska produces a weekend version of it. A league night at the curling centre is two hours of half-crouched sliding and sweeping on ice, and your calves will remind you about it the following morning. Eighteen holes walked rather than ridden is four or five miles on ground that is never once flat, and an afternoon on the Arboretum trails runs longer than anybody intends.
Winter is its own category. Boots with no give in the sole, and the braced way everyone walks when the sidewalk is slick, change how the foot takes load for months at a stretch. Our late-January bookings skew noticeably towards feet; the seasonal side of that is covered in our guide to getting through a Minnesota winter.
To be plain about it: none of the above is an injury and we are not treating anything. It is the ordinary end of a day spent upright, and an hour in a recliner is a reasonable answer. If something genuinely hurts — sharp pain in the heel, numbness, swelling that will not settle — see a clinician first, then come and see us once they have told you what they think.
— Recliner, table, or half of each
Which of the three you should book.
Three things on our menu overlap enough that people stand at the desk weighing them up. The table settles it in about fifteen seconds; the notes underneath are for when it does not.
| Session | Book it when | What comes off | Lengths & prices |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reflexology — recliner | The tired is below the knee — or this is a first massage and a table is more than you want today. | Shoes and socks, trouser legs rolled to mid-calf. You stay seated and dressed. | 30 min $55 · 45 min $65 · 60 min $80 |
| Oil massage — table | Above the waist: shoulders, neck, upper back, arms. The only one of the three that runs past 90 minutes. | Down to your underwear, under a sheet throughout. | 30 min $55 · 60 min $80 · 90 min $120 · 120 min $160 |
| Combo — half and half | Both are true, or you cannot pick. Table first for back and shoulders, then the chair for the feet. | Same as the table, for half as long. | 45 min $65 · 60 min $80 · 90 min $120 |
At 60 minutes the Combo costs the same as either service on its own — both halves, neither paid for twice. Figures are off the published menu; gratuity is not included.
Reflexology, when the table itself is the obstacle
Seated, dressed, $55 for half an hour. It is also the easiest session to bring somebody else to — a fair number are booked for a parent who would not in a hundred years lie face-down on a table, but will sit in a recliner without a word of protest.
The table, when the problem is above the waist
Shoulders, neck, upper back and arms need you lying flat, which means the Swedish and deep tissue session from $55. You are under a sheet throughout, with only the area being worked uncovered, but you do undress for it. That page is built around choosing a length — the harder decision once you are there.
The Combo, when both halves are true
Table first, then the chair: $65 for 45 minutes, $80 for 60, $120 for 90. The most-booked option among people who walk in undecided, and the straight answer for anyone who works standing up and commutes sitting down — two kinds of tired that never turn up in the same place.
— The lunch-hour arithmetic
The one session that fits inside a lunch break.
Set against a table massage, the difference is not the massage — it is everything around it. A table session costs you the hour plus undressing, dressing again, and a decision about what the oil has done to your hair. Reflexology costs you the session plus however long it takes to put your socks back on.
The parking finishes the sum. We are at 150 Pioneer Trail, Chaska, MN 55318, in Chaska Commons at Hwy 41 and Pioneer Trail, with a surface lot directly in front of the door and accessible spaces by the entrance — nothing to circle, nothing to feed, no three-block walk at either end. Half an hour in the recliner ($55) leaves room in a real lunch hour to eat as well; forty-five ($65) works if lunch is at your desk afterwards.
Open 9:00 AM — 9:00 PM Monday to Saturday and from 9:30 AM on Sunday. Walk-ins are welcome whenever a therapist is free, and this is the most walk-in-friendly thing we do — one recliner and half an hour rather than a room and a schedule, so weekday middays are usually wide open. For a specific slot, book online or call or text (612) 600-9298. Every price is published, there is no membership, and gratuity is not included.
Never had a massage of any kind? Here is what to expect — although for this one the honest summary is a recliner, your socks off, and forty-five minutes you will wish had been sixty.

— Before you book
Questions we get
most often.
Still unsure? Call (612) 600-9298 — someone at the front desk will actually pick up.
What actually happens in a reflexology session?
You sit back in a recliner and your therapist works the feet and lower legs with slow, deliberate pressure — thumbs and knuckles through the arch, heel and ball of the foot, each toe in turn, then up through the calf. It runs 30, 45 or 60 minutes, and nothing about how you are dressed changes except your shoes and socks.
Do I have to take anything off besides my shoes?
No. Shoes and socks, and we will ask you to roll your trouser legs up a few inches so your therapist can work the calf. Everything else stays exactly as it is, and you are sitting upright in a recliner the whole time rather than lying under a sheet.
Does it tickle?
Not the way a light fingertip would. The pressure is firm, slow and applied with the whole thumb or knuckle, and your therapist opens with a warm towel and full contact rather than light touch for precisely that reason. If one spot is still too much, say so and they will work around it.
Is reflexology a treatment for anything?
No. We offer it as a relaxation and comfort service, and we make no claim that it treats, cures or affects any condition, organ or part of the body other than the feet and lower legs being worked on. If you have pain, numbness, swelling or any foot condition, see a clinician first — then tell us what they advised so we can work within it.
Do I need an appointment, or can I walk in?
Both work. Day Massage takes walk-ins whenever a therapist is free, which is a large part of why people come to us instead of an appointment-only chain. That said, evenings and weekends do fill up — if you want a specific time, a specific length, or the couples room, book ahead online or call (612) 600-9298.
How often should I come in?
It depends entirely on what you're after. For general unwinding, every four to eight weeks suits most people. If you're managing ongoing stress or you're on your feet all week, every two to four weeks tends to feel better. There's no need to come more often than your body actually wants.
Is there any reason not to book a foot session?
A few. If you have an open wound, a skin infection, athlete's foot, a recent foot or ankle operation, or swelling that has turned up without an obvious cause, speak to a clinician before you book rather than after. Same for a blood-clotting disorder, a diagnosed circulation condition or a high-risk pregnancy — ask whoever is looking after you, tell us what they said, and we will either work within it or move your booking.
