10 Best Foot Massagers • NAILS Magazine

EcoWoods, wooden, roller foot massager

A wooden roller massager is one of the first products designed for foot massage. Its undeniable advantages are accessibility, simplicity of design and instantly noticeable healing effect. The roller massager consists of 6 rotating parts with a toothed surface. The device is made of natural beech, so with proper care it will last for many years.

To use the product, just place your feet on it and “roll” them along the rotating surface. Particular attention should be paid to the heels and toes - there are many bioactive points there.

Regular roller massage:

Improves blood circulation, thereby ensuring the beauty of nails and skin;
Relieves fatigue and swelling, which often occur after standing for a long time;
Prevents the development of varicose veins and thrombophlebitis by improving microcirculation and lymph flow.

The product, of course, also has disadvantages:

You won’t be able to relax completely – the rollers move only from the movement of your legs;
The teeth may break off, which reduces the tonic effect;
Sometimes you come across poorly ground rollers that leave splinters - carefully check the toothed massager before purchasing.

Who needs a foot massager?

A foot massager is not an essential purchase, but its presence helps to significantly improve the condition of blood vessels, veins, skin, and the body as a whole.

A massager will be an indispensable device for those who:

Spends a lot of time on your feet;
Wears uncomfortable shoes - narrow, high heels, non-breathable;
Has a predisposition to varicose veins, venous insufficiency, thrombophlebitis;
Often suffers from swelling of the feet and calves;
He works sitting in an office and is often behind the wheel.

You can replace the massager by systematically manually kneading your feet and calves, but patience usually only lasts a couple of minutes. And for a good result you need at least 10. As an alternative, you can use a hot tub, but keep in mind that the effect of the procedure will be less pronounced. Additionally, a foot bath only targets the feet, while some massagers can be used to treat the calves as well.

Before purchasing, keep in mind that there are a number of restrictions under which the use of foot massagers is not recommended:

Phlebeurysm. Massagers can help prevent the problem, but an existing disease is a contraindication. If you want to use a massager, please consult your doctor first;
Injuries (sprains, dislocations, subluxations, fractures);
Skin diseases, including those complicated by rashes;
Fever;
Acute inflammatory processes;
Tumors;
Renal failure (consultation with the supervising physician is required);
Menstruation.
