Similar to Datang, Fuqiao is also a well-known foot therapy brand, but its development is more difficult, experiencing the rise and fall of the entire foot therapy industry. In Chongqing in 1998, the four brothers of Guo's "Ronghua Fugui" raised 30,000 yuan to establish a foot washing shop called "Fuqiao". In 2004, due to different business philosophy, Fuqiao was split into four brands: Chongqing Fuqiao, Guo's Fuqiao, Jiafu Fuqiao, and Fuqiao Noble Road.
In terms of massage items, Fu Qiao is mainly divided into classical massage and oil massage. Classical massage, starting from the feet to other parts of the massage with pressing, holding, pointing, pushing, kneading, patting and other techniques, stretching and kneading the main motor muscle groups and joints; Oil massage, on the basis of classical massage, applies essential oil to the corresponding area, which reduces friction and reduces the tearing pain caused by muscle pulling.
In the early days, the Fuqiao brand had a strong advantage in technician training. In 2002, it set up a vocational training school, where technicians first receive systematic training, learn basic massage techniques and service etiquette, and receive a qualification certificate before entering each branch. However, with the decline of the entire industry and the Fuqiao brand, it is difficult to distinguish between today's Fuqiao franchise stores and directly operated stores, and the level of technicians is also uneven, which is difficult to unify.
Wuhan now has more than 10 listed rich overseas Chinese foot massage stores, they are not as neatly planned and similar in scale as the brands mentioned above on the list, and there are many differences between different stores, among which the water chestnut lake store, Liushun Road store, and Houhu store have a better reputation.
