What should you consider before buying a foot massager?

There are various types of foot massagers available online, sporting different features. The higher priced models will have more features. Therefore, you have to know what features you need--this will help you decide your budget as well. It is advisable that you also read the foot massager reviews online to make the right decision about the product. There are three different types of massagers:

• Manual—where you roll a tube on the soles of your feet (this is understandably the cheapest option),

• Electric—which provides a rolling and vibrating feeling to the pressure points on your feet,

• Foot spas—which use water and heat to provide the massage.

You should look for the following features:

• Cushion Surface: You should check whether the manual or electric foot massager includes a surface that is cushioned properly, so as to provide you comfort. The cushion can be made of foam, malleable plastic pads, or gel.

• Multiple speeds: Try to buy a foot massager that has adjustable speeds. There should be an option to either increase or decrease the speed. Electric foot massagers have these options.

• Easy-to-use controls: The controls are usually present on the body of the massager. Better models have a remote control to change the settings of the device.

• Extra features: Go for a massager with a heater and water jets for maximum benefit.
