Product Information

For that reason, foot massagers can be particularly helpful to those with balance problems or frequent falls by improving the foot's range of motion and general dexterity. The TheraFlow Foot Massager Roller is not at all fancy, but it does a great job relieving foot pain and tension. In fact, it received perfect scores in both efficacy and overall value. We were surprised at its effectiveness even though it wasn't big or fancy and didn't heat up. Nonetheless, we found that this little wooden device delivered a great targeted massage. If your primary reason for wanting a foot massager is just for some pleasant self-pampering, an electric massager is probably ideal since it does all the work for you. Most of the mechanized devices you'll come across offer a Shiatsu-style massage, meaning it uses nodes to simulate the feeling of human hands pressing and kneading that you'd experience in the traditional Japanese practice of Shiatsu, which translates to "finger pressure." Even though there’s no kneading or rolling involved, the squeezing alone stimulates enough circulation to relieve pain and fatigue from achy feet and legs. This device is not overcomplicated like others, as it’s designed for anyone to easily use with the remote control.

With its noiseless operation and portability, you can easily take this device to work to stimulate circulation while you sit.If you’d like to combine your foot massage with a soothing foot soak, see our list of the best foot spas. When should I not use a home foot massager? While the massage factor was lower (you have to manually massage your own feet using the nodes on the bottom of the spa), in testing, we noticed that this product does have some nice perks: you can turn it on and off with your toe, and buff away calluses and rough skin with the removable pumice stone. No, seriously. Physical therapist Alyssa Kuhn, among many other PT's, love this cost effective option as a foot massager. "It is harder than a tennis ball, but does have a degree of flex that can feel great on the feet," Kuhn says. All you have to do is set the ball on the floor and roll your foot over it in a circular motion. " This will help to bring blood flow to the muscles and small joints in the feet that can become stiff and sore," Kuhn explains. The most impressive feature of the Medmassager is how powerful it is as well as the range of different speed levels it offers.

The device’s automatic shutdown after 20 minutes is good for seniors. Leg swellings resulting from varicose veins, calf compression, or other leg issues can be relieved with compression techniques. The massager reduces swelling and blood clots from under the skin and relieves edema from operations, sports injuries, pregnancy, diabetic swelling, plantar fasciitis, or tendonitis. If you’re willing to spend a little more on a foot massager, the Miko Shiatsu Home Foot Massager Machine With Switchable Heat will leave your feet feeling relaxed and pampered. It has a variety of features to give you a customized massage, and the ease of setup and intensity levels make it worth the price. That being said, if your swelling is related to a medical condition, diagnosed or not, you should consult with a doctor before buying this or any other medical device. Compression isn't right for all swelling.
