The feet of Manila
have trusted us
for twenty years.
Foot for the gods opened on 20 May 2006, the same morning SM Mall of Asia opened its doors. Since then more guests have sat in our chairs than in any other reflexology brand in the Philippines. Today we are opening the brand to Filipino franchisees ready to run a branch of their own, and to investors and master-franchise partners who want to take the method abroad.

Our legacy
A mall opened.
So did we.
Foot for the gods is the longest-standing spa at SM Mall of Asia and one of the few wellness brands in the country to keep growing through the pandemic. Shoppers, tourists, office workers and senior citizens have made us their habit, and the brand's word-of-mouth following is the asset we are now building on.

The method
Sixty-five points.
One hour.
Every full session works all 65 reflex points of the feet, each corresponding to a gland, organ or part of the body. Hover or tap a point to see what it reaches.
The reflexologist works each point with the thumb, fingers and knuckles, feeling for "crystals" near the nerve endings. In reflexology theory these deposits block the pathway between the foot and the body part it corresponds to; pressure breaks them up and circulation returns.
Exquisite torture: torture when the practitioner finds a sensitive spot, exquisite for the relief that follows.
Some discomfort is normal, especially in early sessions, and depends on your health, your tolerance and the therapist's technique. Tell your reflexologist if the pressure is too hard or too soft, and ask what a point reaches. A responsible reflexologist never claims to cure; the treatment supports the body's own recuperative process.
Services
The menu.
Five services, priced the same in every corporate branch. Sessions finish with a hot towel. Senior citizens and PWD receive the statutory 20% discount and VAT exemption.
Walk in any day, 10 am to 10 pm, or reserve online in under a minute. Weekends fill up, and a reservation with a preferred therapist is honoured ahead of the queue — your request reaches the branch's reception screen the moment you send it.

still queuing.
Industry recognition matters less to us than the guests who come back every week, but it helps a partner know what they are buying into.

Franchise & invest
Own a branch.
Or back the brand.
Most of our partners are Filipino families and first-time business owners who wanted one branch, close to home, in a mall they already know. That is still the heart of our franchising. Alongside it we welcome investors and master-franchise partners who want to bring the method to a new country.
Franchise in the Philippines
For Filipinos who want a business of their own: a single-branch format proven over twenty years in the country's busiest malls. You don't need spa experience or a background in wellness — you secure the site, and we bring the design, the therapist training, the suppliers and the operations manual. Most of our franchisees started with one branch while keeping their day job.
- Use of trademarks, standard layout and site approval
- Training for franchisee and staff, plus opening assistance
- Procurement programme with accredited suppliers
- Confidential operations manual on loan for the term
- A single-branch edition of our operations app, set up and licensed for your shop
- Independent management, with your own operations system that the corporation does not see into
Fees, capital requirements and terms are discussed individually and are set out in the franchise kit, which we send to applicants after an initial review. Every application is treated in confidence.
Investors and international partners
For partners thinking beyond a single branch: capital partners for new Metro Manila sites, and master-franchise partners for Southeast Asia and the Gulf, where Filipino therapists are already the standard in hospitality wellness.
- Twenty years of daily sales data across flagship branches, available under NDA
- A trained-therapist pipeline and a commission model that keeps staff retention high
- Small footprint, high turnover: eight to twelve seats, ten-hour days, full houses on weekends
- Digital operations and reporting that a partner can audit in real time
- Equity, master-franchise and joint-venture structures all on the table
