Why I Work Barefoot (and Why Crocs Are My Go-To)

From your feet to your spine, everything is connected.

If you're a regular client at Fusion Thai Massage, you’ve probably noticed that I often work barefoot during your session. This isn’t just a personal quirk—it’s a purposeful part of my practice as a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) and Thai Massage Instructor in Mississauga.

Working barefoot helps me move fluidly, apply grounded pressure, and deliver a broader range of Thai and therapeutic massage techniques—without tripping over shoes or catching on linens. It strengthens my connection to the floor, and more importantly, to your body’s energy and posture.

So, why Crocs?

🩴 Crocs are my go-to shoe because they’re breathable, flexible, and incredibly easy to slip off between clients. They’re similar to minimalist or barefoot shoes, and they allow my feet to relax and function naturally—which is exactly what I encourage for my clients, too.

🦶 Barefoot Healing & Thai Reflexology

As someone who specializes in Registered Thai Massage Therapy, posture correction, and foot massage with Thai-style reflexology, I know how vital our feet are to the rest of the body. Your feet are rich in nerves, energy pathways, and pressure points that influence your spine, nervous system, and internal organs.

When you walk barefoot—or even just give your feet more freedom in shoes like Crocs—you’re helping to:

• Improve posture and spinal alignment

• Reduce tension in hips, legs, and lower back

• Stimulate key reflex zones tied to digestion, sleep, and stress

• Support the lymphatic system and immune health

• Enhance balance, coordination, and energy flow

  
  

These are the same pathways and benefits I target through Thai foot massage.Grounded in the ancient principles of Thai medicine, foot reflexology stimulates energy lines (sen) to relieve tension, improve circulation, and restore balance throughout the entire body. It’s not just about your feet—it’s a gateway to full-body wellness.

That’s why I offer Thai foot massage as a dedicated service or as an addition to your treatment. It’s more than just relaxing—it’s a reset for your whole body.
