Customizable pressure and focus area
Tell us whether it’s the neck and shoulders, the lower back, the feet, or all three. We spend the time where it counts and adjust the pressure to your comfort, from light and calming to genuinely deep.
Back & Foot · From $18
Back & Foot Therapy
Everyday tension shows up in the shoulders, back, and feet before anywhere else. Our Back & Foot treatments combine acupressure, deep-tissue technique, and warm stone work — mixed to match what your body needs that day.
The Treatment
One session, mixed to your body
Rather than a fixed sequence, a Back & Foot session is assembled from techniques that suit where you’re tight — then adjusted as we go.
Optional hot stone add-on
Warm stones relax stubborn muscle before hands-on work begins — especially welcome in winter. Complimentary hot stone therapy is available with select Back & Foot services.
Great as part of a Rio Special
Pair a 60-minute Back & Foot treatment with a Classic Head Spa (100 minutes total) or a Facial (90 minutes total) for $99 — the easiest way to make a short stop into a full reset.
Who It’s For
For desks, commutes, and city miles
The Upper East Side is a walking neighborhood. Between museum blocks, park loops, school runs, and long days at a desk, tension tends to settle in the same places — across the shoulders, down the lower back, and into the arches of the feet.
- Shoulders and neck that stiffen after screen-heavy days
- Lower backs that tighten from sitting or standing too long
- Feet that ache after a day of walking the neighborhood
- Anyone who wants a short, restorative session rather than a long spa day
Good to Know
Back & Foot questions, answered
A 45-minute session is $45, with shorter sessions starting at $18. A 60-minute Back & Foot treatment is included in both $99 Rio Special packages. All listed prices are cash prices.
Complimentary hot stone therapy is available with select Back & Foot services. Ask the front desk when you book or when you check in and we’ll let you know what your session includes.
Always. Pressure and focus areas are adjusted throughout the treatment, and you can ask for a change at any point — nothing about the session is fixed in advance.
You stay comfortable throughout. Let the front desk know what you prefer when you arrive, and your therapist will work with you accordingly.
