Reflexology — reflex massage — works by applying pressure to specific points on the feet and hands that tradition believes correspond to the rest of the body. In practice it's a deeply pleasant, grounding treatment that brings relief to tired legs and hands and leaves you calm all over. At ESCAPE we deliver this pressure-point work through two real massages: our Feet & Soles massage and our Hands & Palms massage.
In short: reflexology = targeted pressure on the reflex points of the feet and hands; here you'll get it as a Feet & Soles massage (from 1,290 CZK) or a Hands & Palms massage (from 1,190 CZK).
What reflexology is — and the idea behind it
Reflexology rests on a simple idea: the soles of the feet and the palms of the hands hold a "map" of reflex points that tradition links to other parts of the body. The therapist works those points with precise, graded pressure using thumbs and knuckles.
Let's be honest about it — this is a relaxation and recovery technique, not a medical treatment. We won't claim a foot massage "cures" a particular organ. What it reliably does deliver is the relief, warmth and deep release that focused work on the feet and hands brings.
Feet or hands?
Reflex work can go two ways, and each has a slightly different character:
- Feet & legs — the most popular choice. Ideal after a long day on your feet, after walking around Prague, or after sport. It combines pressure on the reflex points with warming and stretching of the calves and arches.
- Hands & palms — gentler, but surprisingly relieving. Great for anyone who spends the day at a keyboard, on a phone, or driving; it releases tension from the fingers, palms and wrists.

What reflexology helps with
We'll say it plainly, with no miracle promises:
- Tired, heavy legs — targeted pressure and warmth bring immediate relief.
- Tension in the hands and wrists — relief for people who type, drive or work with their hands a lot.
- Deep relaxation — foot work is among the most grounding and calming there is; many guests drift off during it.
- A genuine sense of switching off — body and mind settle.
This isn't about treating illness — it's about comfort, relief and rest.
The Thai tradition and pressure-point work
At ESCAPE we work in the Thai tradition, which naturally emphasises exactly this kind of pressure-point work and energy lines along the feet, legs and hands. So reflex work on the soles and palms isn't something bolted on — it's part of how Thai massage works. Our therapists trained at prestigious schools in Southeast Asia and know how to grade the pressure so it's effective yet comfortable.
How this works at ESCAPE
Reflexology isn't a separate line on our price list — we deliver it through two real, targeted massages. Choose by what you most need to release:
- Feet & soles massage (from 1,290 CZK) — pressure on the reflex points of the soles for relief and all-over calm.
- Hands & palms massage (from 1,190 CZK) — reflex points of the palms to release tension from hands and mind.
Both come in 30 / 60 / 90-minute lengths. We use natural oils, greet you with herbal tea, and you set the pressure yourself with SOFT / STRONG. See everything in our full list of massages and prices in the massage price list.
