These are the best foot massagers on Amazon according to thousands of relaxed reviewers
My search for the best foot massagers began earlier this year when my anxiety was at a high. Foot massages are a great way to switch off, but not always as easy as getting up and going to the nail salon for a pedicure, especially these days. When you’ve got to go through the process of booking an appointment – and then get there, have to wait anyway because there’s always a delay and, let’s face it, treatments take time – you can be left looking for a quick and easy at-home alternative.
Don’t get me wrong I don’t think anything will quite compete with the level of attention and care you get during a pedicure at the spa, but if the Amazon reviews for the foot massagers I’ve come across so far are anything to go by, it’s a pretty close call.
Do foot massage machines really work?
Foot massage machines, and indeed manual foot massagers and foot spas, are really helpful for relieving pain from a variety of causes. They relax your muscles and any tendon tension you may be feeling by loosening the facia (the soft tissue that surrounds the muscle) and the plantar fascia (a ligament in the arch of the foot).
Machines like the RENPHO Foot Massager with Heat offer a deep-kneading Shiatsu foot massage. They provide comprehensive and comfortable massages and they often feature different kneading and squeezing techniques and intensities, alongside a heat function which helps to relax the muscles. This one in particular has 4.5 starts and over 11,000 reviews on Amazon. Wowzer.
Are foot massagers worth it?
If you’re someone who is on their feet all day, then you’ll probably find that a foot massager is one of the best purchases you’ll ever make - especially if you wear heels or have a high arch or step. If, on the other hand, you have a desk job or don’t tend to suffer with sore/tired/achy feet, then going for something less expensive and less high-tech like this TheraFlow Dual Foot Massager Roller might be more worth your while.

May sound bizarre but I keep it by the bed because all plantar fasciitis sufferers will testify to the fact that when you get out of bed and stand, it can be agony... about 90 seconds of rolling my feet on this and I'm good to go.”
