Foot Calf Massager – A Great Way To Relax And Ease The Tension Out Of Your Body
Foot Calf massagers work on the feet, calves and ankles. They are used while sitting
down in a chair. There are a few different shapes and styles but the most popular look is the double massager where
both your legs are placed into the machine (Boot Style). They completely surround the feet and the back of the
legs to half way up the calf. Other styles are described as Ottomans as they look a bit like a footstool and
the user rests their feet on or into the machine. They do not cover as much of the leg as the other models but from
all accounts still do a good job at easing stress and tension. Click the pictures below to check out
reviews on the various foot calf massagers available.
Explanation of how a Foot Calf Massager Works (in this case a US Jaclean
model)
How Does A Foot Calf Massager Work ?
These machines work on two levels.
The first level is that they massage the feet and calves using a vibrating action. This action is both soothing
and tension reducing on the legs and feet. If you are on your feet all day in your job then sinking them into a
foot calf massager is a great way to unwind at the end of the day.
The other level that most foot calf massagers work on is by stimulating pressure points in the bottom of the
feet to reduce stress and improve general well being. The principle behind this form of therapy is known as
reflexology.
Reflexology is defined as a natural healing art that is usually down by a skilled person. The foot calf massager is the equivalent of such a natural healer in machine
form.
The basis of reflexology is that parts of the bottom of the feet or pressure points correspond to every part,
gland and organ of the body. When a massaging action is applied to these pressure points it is thought that it can
relieve tension, improve circulation and helps promote the natural function of the related areas of the body.
Popular Brands of Foot Calf Massager
Human Touch make quite a few varieties of foot calf massagers. They seem to specialize in
Ottoman style massagers. I think the basic idea behind the Ottoman style is to massage the feet and legs but also look good so that you can have them in your living room as
a piece of furniture. They come in different colors and even fabrics and can look quite stylish.
Other popular brands include Qlive, 3Q, Emson U-Comfy, OSIM and Prospera. They seem to go for the more practical looking machine that completely
covers the feet and lower legs. They might not look as good as a piece of furniture but do a good job at
massaging the feet and calves and applying reflexology to the healing of the body. They have more features and include various speeds of
vibration or types of actualization. They kind of look like two ski boots joined together and, in fact, would be
a great way to relax after a busy day of skiing.
