My aunt and uncle have a Sunday routine... They drive all the way from Desert Ridge to Chandler on a weekly basis to go to get foot massages at IFS. I've been hearing about it for years. They usually go mid-morning and then get a bite to eat afterwords at one of a few restaurants nearby.
I've been extended an invitation to join them more times than I can count, but Sundays are tough for me. I usually go to a yoga class on Sunday mornings and spend the rest of the day with my kids... but this Sunday was different. I decided to spend some quality time with my aunt and uncle and see first hand what makes IFS so special (or worth driving literally across the Valley for!)
Aunt Sue and Uncle Frank picked me up and drove the remaining 20 minutes from my house to IFS... we had 11am appointments and walked in a few minutes early. We were taken back right away. I had Paul. Aunt Sue had Monica. I'm not sure who Uncle Frank had, but we all left happy...
Paul has really strong hands and was able to find areas of tension in my face, in my feet, and all around my body. He speaks English as well. When he asked me to flip over onto my belly, I put my head down into a cute little cut-out cloth that was heart shaped. Likely just for Valentines Day weekend, but I'd never seen that before... super cute!
For those unfamiliar with these "foot massage" types of places, they typically start out with a warm water soak of your feet and then a full body massage with your clothes on. IFS was exactly like what I've had before and I enjoyed almost every moment. (A few moments were more painful, but I think that my body needed it!)
My aunt and uncle took care of paying for mine, but from the IFS website, it appears that a 1 hour massage is $30. That is a pretty amazing deal. The price and quality alone is likely why this is the weekly Sunday Funday plan for my aunt and uncle... I may just have to join them again soon!
