Human Touch Reflex5s Foot & Calf Massager for Stress & Plantar Fasciitis Relief+Relaxation +Kneading & Compression for Circulation Support -1 Year Warranty - Adjustable Fit for Women & Men Size 12

I developed plantar fasciitis quite suddenly. (Unprofessionally diagnosed, as I had it before many years ago and I assume it's come back from walking on hard surfaces, and having tight calf muscles, just like last time.) Stretching definitely has helped, but in combination with this amazing machine, my feet have been feeling so much better! I have owned a couple of massage chairs I bought when this company was called iJoy and they have been top notch. (I still use the massage chair I bought about 10 years ago!) I would say that they are a quality and trusted brand, so when I was looking for something to help with my feet, I saw this and figured it was my best bet.When you put your feet/lower legs into this machine it gently squeezes them in what feels like an alternating figure eight pattern. It's wonderful! Depending on which auto mode you do, it will tighten around your feet and gradually bring the massage bits up and press into the bottoms of your feet. This helps me a lot. I suggest, (just as I read in another review here) that you adjust your feet forward or back depending on where you want them to hit on the bottoms of your feet.I honestly can't see anyone regretting purchasing this unit. My whole family loves it. It's a great way to start your day with a cup of coffee in the morning before heading out to work and a luxurious relaxation after a long day on your feet.

Purchased this as a gift for my Dad, he loves it.The ability to change the angle to the chair your in is very helpful.Great compression and massage.Quiet, easy to use.A little bulky but can be tucked away into a closet.

I am an in-shape, active yoga studio owner and instructor for context. I still have tightness and a bad spot on my back on occasion. Because everything in our body is connected and affects other parts of our body when tight or injured, I thought this would be a great way to keep my fascia/muscles more supple in my calves and feet which would lead to beneficial effects up my thighs, glutes and back. The rolling foot massage and vibration is great for reflexology/trigger points that also affect the rest of the body.So overall....yes. I am happy I purchased it. My husband loves it and my 18 year old son said it might be the best purchase I have ever made! That leads me to my criticism. I would have given this a 4.5 stars if that would have been an option.The opportunities for improvement are:The handles to move this machine are barely large enough for the fingertips. I am 5’3 and there is not any room to grip this and move it...which you will because it does take up space, and others will want to use it. Why is this a problem? Because it’s easily dropped when moving and smooth on the sides to grip. So just be careful.The metal piece on the bottom that allows for the tilt option could also be larger to provide more of an angle for someone my height or thereabouts. Sitting in an average chair comfortably might mean your feet don’t get completely flat. Also, a lever on the side would be more convenient than having to fumble for it underneath.That being said, I have used it daily for over an hour at a time as I do my computer work or read. It is amazing for circulation and the options are great. My husband has used it daily as well and was great after a hard workout or even yard work.Buy it. It’s great self care. Just find a firm grip when you move it. It’s heavy enough that someone with a bad back and no strength might not love moving. It isn’t AWFUL but it does have room for improvement. Maybe if the sides were molded inward/concave for a hand grip spot.

At first reluctant to believe that it was possible to make a consumer level product that was this effective. This device has my very positive upvote on the following points.* Sleek design. Zip out liner, washable.* Easy to use; easy to store in a closet under clothes hung on hangers; at 25 lbs and a bit bulky possibly for women to move but likely manageable* Meaningful, easy to reach controls (if you leave kind of hidden ON switch clicked ON at all times). I would not want the added complexity, clutter, and dead battery headaches of a remote for such an easy to use machine unless I had trouble reaching to touch my knees while seated.* On initial experience, the power is surprising, even alarming. I got used to it after several seconds and now would absolutely not want to settle for anything less. The designer knew what he/she was doing in my opinion.* Firm massage and vigorous vibration of toes, soles, heels, and more than half way up my calf; perfect in my case (180 lb, 5'-11", size 10 1/2 shoe). I suspect that the machine would adapt to a variety of foot and leg sizes both larger and smaller than mine. YMMV.* Invigorating.* Excellent and quiet to use whole seated and catching up on correspondence.* I do not need the heat and so did not try that.* Would _definitely_ buy again.

This was a pricey piece of kit and I treated myself to it as a Xmas/Birthday gift. I've been using it for 3 months. To start, you have to calibrate. This is not one of those 5k chairs you can have a sit in at Costco when they have an event on. And it's not a real massage at 80 and upwards for an hour.However..... it's a really nice foot and leg massager. It's well made with good, solid construction materials. There are plenty of options for you to select the kind of pressure you like (tapping, squeezing, hard, soft, rolling). You can have it heated. You can even switch mid-massage (the cycle is about 20 minutes). It took me a week or two to get used to how firm the foot massage part is, even on the gentlest settings. But I can feel my muscles relaxing now when it starts.So, I highly recommend it. I tried and returned a cheaper one. This is pricier than others which purport to do the same thing. However, this is a well known company/brand and it shows.
