Do you want your feet to be free from aches, pains, numbness, especially pain from diseases such as plantar fasciitis, or diabetic neuropathy?
and
Be able to walk again as usual, without any pain every time you try to make a step, like your friends over there whom walking cheerfully.
One of the best ways to fix these problems is by getting a daily foot massage.
Why?
1. A good therapy to help relieve pain and restore your agility
2. It doesn’t take long to feel the benefits
3. You can learn to do it by yourself so there is no need to spend money
4. It is great for those who are worried about the side effects of medications
5. Foot massage is also beneficial for mental health, such as relieving stress and relaxing your body and mind
Then why do you still need a foot massager?
If you suffer from a condition such as diabetic neuropathy or plantar fasciitis, one of the best treatments you can take is shiatsu massage, apart from taking medication, steroid injections or surgery.
Most people will choose the first option, because it is cheaper and safer for most ages and health conditions.
However, for those who don’t know. Hiring a professional therapist will cost you around $ 50 – 90 per visit. Obviously, it would cost a lot of money to spend each week.
The solution: just buy an electric massager. A good foot massager only costs around $ 100 – 200 depending on brand and features. One time purchase for a lifetime health investment. That’s not a bad idea, is not it?
Other benefits of a massage machine that you may need to know as consideration, such as:
1. Relaxation
Spending hours of time standing, running or cycling will leave your feet feeling sore and tired. Use an electric massager to gently massage your stiff leg muscles, while you lie on the sofa or mattress. It also helps you sleep easier and soundly, especially for you with insomnia.
2. Improve blood circulation
Conditions such as coldness, numbness, and pain in the legs are generally due to poor blood circulation in the legs. The natural way to overcome this is by increasing your physical activity such as walking or jogging.
However, if your condition makes it impossible to do so, such as suffering from plantar fasciitis or leg paralysis. Massage therapy using a machine can be a solution for you to get similar benefits to walking.
3. Overcoming headaches and migraines.
Massage of the pressure points on the feet can help reduce the headaches and migraines you often experience.
