Foot Massagers

A foot massager can provide a variety of massage techniques combined with enhancement features, such as heat, timers, and intuitive controls, for a luxurious foot relaxation experience. Stressed and tired feet feel softer and relieved with a foot massage machine and the portable convenience. Adding oils or scents can enhance any foot massage even further.

What factors should you look for in a foot massager?

  • Massager Height: Based on the foot massager design, it can go up to the knee on some adults, half-encompassing the back half of the calf. Other massagers are a few inches tall and designed specifically for the feet, reaching ankle height to allow for some water inside.
  • Massager Features: Some foot massage machines are capable of performing several massage actions simultaneously while others have one targeted function with a specific action. Additional options are available, such as heat or air compression, which provides jets of rhythmic air currents for a cool feel-good sensation. Toe controls and timers provide ease-of-use and convenient accessibility to foot relaxation.
  • Massager Types: The most common massage techniques incorporated into foot massagers are vibration, oscillation, kneading, and shiatsu. Several other types are available, including roller or ball massaging. These techniques provide a pressurized rolling down the full length or targeted portions of the foot. A foot massager can have a built-in roller, or they can be individual tools shaped like a baker’s rolling pin, designed for a quick foot massage.

What are the main differences between vibrating, oscillating, kneading, and shiatsu massage?

  • Vibration Massage: Provides up and down or side-to-side motion.
  • Oscillation Massage: Provides a circular motion, sometimes combined with vibration.
  • Kneading Massage: Provides a rolling and pressing of the muscles.
  • Shiatsu Massage: Provides a combination of pressure and stretching to certain muscle points.

Can foot massage help athletes?

Many athletes find the use of a foot massager beneficial for the relief of sore muscles and for stimulating blood flow to the feet. A massager can be another tool in an athlete’s arsenal to quickly rebound overworked muscles. Through targeted foot massage techniques, applied heat, and additional features offered from a foot massager, athletes often find subsequent workouts or training more comfortable.
