For anyone that spends a great deal of time on their feet as part of their daily job, say as a nurse, as a sales assistant, as a flight attendant and also on a building site, a foot and calf massager may be heaven sent. If you have not heard of such an appliance before the next few paragraphs will run through what this device is and what it could do for you including a few of the benefits.

To begin with, a foot calf massager does what it claims in the description - it performs a massage of your feet (top and bottom of feet) and the lower legs (particularly the back of the calf).

There appear to be two different styles of massage machine, the boot style or the Ottoman.

To me, the boot style looks like 2 skiing boots attached together. You simply lay your feet in the space allotted for each foot and switch the device on to start massaging. This style is not really attractive looking and can be quite bulky and heavy. I'd say it's made from a more practical viewpoint as opposed to the way it looks. And most of these machines provide you with a pretty excellent massage.

The other style is known as an Ottoman since it can be twisted over while not in use and used like a foot stool. A lot of these foot calf massager can actually look pretty good too. When they are turned round you would not believe they're a massaging appliance. They are frequently covered in faux suede or some other fabric that make them blend in with the remainder of your furnishings in the living room.

I'd say the practical boot style massagers offer a greater overall work out. For example, one kind of Ottoman can only massage your feet and calves separately and you have to maneuver the part of the body needing the massage to the machine. This isn't true while using boot style foot calf massager. Simply dunk your pins into the appliance and set the program.

These machines give a shiatsu massage, which is defined as a kneading and squeezing practice that's carried out by someone using their fingers and thumbs. As there is no person within the foot calf massager, it uses many different rollers, vibrating circuits along with lumps or nodes to carry out the manipulation. This delivers the squeezing and kneading sensation to your body and also the benefits of reflexology principles.

Most people that make use of these machines feel great relief from stress and weariness in the lower legs and feet. A few even describe the feeling after wards as tingly. This could be due to the fact that the massage also stimulates the blood flow which often makes the skin and muscle tissues feel more alive.
