Intense foot massage

I've been wanting to get reflexology since I arrived in Malaysia. I got a 30 minute foot massage last night for only 30 ringgits(about US$10)! I'm not sure if it was actually reflexology, but the lady was putting everything she had into it. It was a mixture of pleasure and pain and a few times I had to ask her to do it a bit softer. I will definitely try it again--hopefully pain isn't a normal part of the foot massage experience here!
