Product Information

Favourable frequency range – all 4 Hypervibe models offer the most favourable vibration frequency range which has been estimated to be between 5 – 35 Hz; Sometimes, depending on the patient. While foot massagers can be useful for people with neuropathy, people with diabetes still need to be careful about the therapies they use on their feet (and should avoid heating elements, as we mentioned earlier). The only thing to beware of is its tendency to slip on flat surfaces, especially if it is uncarpeted. You also can’t expect the same results as from high and mid-range foot massagers. Read our full JML Foot Massager review. Delivering an intense but comfortable massage, we love the FIT KING Leg Air Massager for the foot and calf. While it’s less effective for the feet, you can’t beat the circulatory benefits these massaging boots provide to your legs, especially your calves.

This massager works similarly to other EMS units with footpads, but its unique design makes it more of a lightweight mat than a machine. It's worth mentioning that this massager is not only suitable for the feet but can also be used on other areas of the body. You can rotate the massage machine between three positions, so you can easily rest your feet and legs at varying angles, delivering a specially targeted massage to the areas you need it the most. But be careful if you have diabetic neuropathy in your feet. You may set the heat too high without knowing it.These massagers mimic the massaging sensations of a hand massage and improve blood flow to the feet and sole. The vibration and heat massagers target circulation issues and stimulate the nerves to reduce pain and inflammation. The electric massagers or massagers with heat, kneading, scrapping, rolling and shiatsu functions eliminate numbness and tingling and are thus suitable for neuropathy. Conclusion The footpads can heat up to warm the soles of your feet, further stimulating the nerves and opening your blood vessels. Another great benefit of the vibrating foot massager is its ability to normalise blood pressure. According to scientific research, elevated blood pressure has been associated with increased pain in the lower extremities. 10 – 15 minutes a day are perfectly enough to start experiencing improved blood pressure. Manufacturers recommend using it once or twice a day for no more than 15-30 minutes per session. Most massagers come with an auto switch-off timer that turns off the massager after a set number of minutes. Q: Can an electric foot massager help with plantar fasciitis? There are other tools for massage and boosting circulation that may also be useful to you, depending on your condition.

We start by noting the various settings available, and following any special instructions required before using the massager. Next, we use the massager for one full cycle (usually around 15 minutes), paying attention to any relaxing and muscle releasing effects on the soles of the feet, immediately after use and over the course of a typical working day. We also confirm the weight and dimensions of the massager and note any extras included in the box. Throughout the testing process we evaluate each massager’s overall ease of use, plus ease of portability and storage. An electric foot massager is not a treatment for these health conditions. Rather, it helps manage their symptoms. For a soothing and all-around effective, well-designed foot massager you can use at home, we recommend the Best Choice Products Therapeutic Shiatsu Foot Massager. It treats a variety of pressure points on your foot and ankle, has a built-in heat function, and even comes with a remote for convenience. If you’re on a budget or looking for something a bit more portable, you’ll love the TheraFlow Foot Massager Roller. Though it is manual and requires constant attention, it delivered the most effective foot massage of the bunch—plus it weighs less than 2 pounds and has a very small overall footprint. How We Tested the Foot Massagers Due to the sedentary lifestyle and neuropathy, if your feet muscles are achy and painful, you need a massager that can improve blood flow to the feet and sole. This shiatsu therapy massager with effective heat function and auto-off timer will make the casual massage a relieving and soothing experience for you. This unit comes with a TENS unit, with 4 TENS pads. Similar to EMS, TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation), where the pads you place on your skin deliver small electrical impulses to stimulate nerves and circulation.This device has 20-speed settings, so there should be enough for you to find the right setting for your feet. A shiatsu massager helps improve blood circulation in your feet and can help with pain and soreness. Some massagers also come with a heat function which is great for pain relief and relaxation.

Many foot massagers use heat to increase effectiveness and relaxation. Look for adjustable heat settings to make sure that the experience is comfortable in all seasons and temperatures. For example, our favorite splurge option, the Cloud Massage Shiatsu Foot Massager provides that soothing warm feel but may take a few minutes to heat up. Of course, our best manual option skips the heating function, so evaluate whether the convenience of a portable massager is worth losing the power of heat. Whether you need to massage the sides or inner arches of your feet, you can do so by choosing the right attachment head for the device and setting it to the speed that feels right. Massagers that include several of these features will offer a more comprehensive massage, and you may also wish to look for adjustable heat and pressure settings so that you can customise the intensity of your massage. A more powerful motor will usually produce more noticeable pressure but may also be heavier to move around and noisier in operation. We’ve noted below how quiet and portable each massager is. To operate, plug in your mat using the included USB and affix the controller to the mat. You can toggle between the modes with your feet for a completely hands-free experience. This option is also a lot easier to clean than traditional models—just wipe it down with a damp cloth. But, it's definitely not as durable or sturdy as other options on this list, so you'll have to be a bit more gentle.The Miko device features two separate foot chambers with washable cloth covers. Once you slip your feet in, you can operate the massager via the control panel on top of the machine or with the included remote—a great bonus feature, since it allows you to adjust settings, but still stay relaxed. Snailax Shiatsu Foot Massager with Heat: With a slipper-like shape, this massager has good under-the-foot rollers but that’s about all. There’s very little variation in settings and wasn’t something we thought we would reach for day after day. Overall experience: Did we like using it? Would we recommend it to our friends and family members? We also thought about what type of person might benefit most from each one (i.e. runners versus people with arthritis) and whether the cost of the product seemed appropriate for the results it could provide. If you need better foot and leg circulation but can’t use an EMS device because you wear a pacemaker or implanted cardioverter defibrillator, this is your most therapeutic option. Foot massage makes an excellent supportive treatment for people recovering from cancer. It helps reduce fatigue and stress and even helps combat feelings of nausea.

Unbeatable warranty – Hypervibe is the company with the most generous warranty within the whole-body vibration market, including 2 years labour, 5 years parts and 10 years of motor consumer protection. That said, there are plenty of foot massagers on the market that can relieve the symptoms of many common ailments like plantar fasciitis, foot fatigue, neuropathy, and arthritis. It’s just important to consider what type of relief you need and whether a specific massager can safely provide it for you. Circulation machines with an electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) feature deliver tiny electrical impulses up through your feet via electrodes on the footpads.With an air compression system that feels like getting your blood pressure taken, but around your calves, the FIT KING cycles through several rounds of intense squeezing and then relaxing to promote blood flow. While we thought the pressure could be a bit too intense at times, there are three different pressure modes for adjustability, as well as two massage modes. In our testing, a few areas where the FIT KING massager performed well were in comfort and ease of use; we didn’t have any trouble putting the boots on or changing the settings, and we liked that you can still move around comfortably, even elevating your feet if necessary, while wearing them. Sometimes you might want a little soaking action along with your foot massage, and on those days, the Ivation Foot Spa Massager has you covered. This foot spa has built-in massage rollers in the bottom of the tub, allowing you to work your feet while they soak in warm water. When it comes down to functionality, the RENPHO foot massager is no slouch as well. You'll be able to vary three massaging patterns in different combos to meet your individual needs. On top of that, you'll get three intensity levels to choose from for either a softer and more gentle kneading or more invigorating and intense massaging. Like the OSITO and REVITIVE devices, this foot circulator works its magic through bioelectric massage alone, without physically vibrating or applying pressure. Since traditional foot massagers employ different types of massage, like kneading and rolling, to pinpoint pain areas, this product is best for people with intense calf or leg pain versus people with foot pain.
