Sokushindo Foot Reflexology on East Maple Street To Close Oct. 31
|
Nearly 18 months after opening on East Maple Street, Sokushindo foot reflexology is slated to close at the end of next month, officials with the business say. According to May Zhang, Sokushindo’s always-sunny receptionist, despite many customers who spread word about the unique Japanese service to friends and family, the rent was prohibitively high to make the business work. “We love this town, have a good business in town and want to stay but for a lot of reasons, we can’t,” Zhang told NewCanaanite.com. A type of massage based on the principle that different parts of the body are connected to reflex points in the feet, hands and head, the word ‘Sokushindo’ is from the Japanese “Soku” meaning foot or leg, “Shin” heart, center or core, and “Do” a discipline or way. The business opened late last April.
