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

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.
