Shiatsu Foot Massager 2.0, Red

About a year and a half ago my feet started hurting, I let it go and dealt with the pain for almost a year. I went to the doctor and found out that I have planters fasciitis and because I let it go for so long... I've began developing a heal spur. My doctor gave me a VERY PAINFUL shot in my left foot. It was HORRIBLE!!! The pain slowed for a month or so but then started back again. I've worn night splints, I tried Straussberg Socks... I have literally tried every product.I went to a new doctor who put me on an exercise regimen and recommended that I purchased this uComfy Shiatsu Foot Massager. I bought it from Amazon about 3 days ago and I've used it about a dozen times... and all I can say is... OH MY GOD!!! It is absolute bliss!!! I didn't think it would be this amazing!!! Tonight my wife used it for the first time... She had 15 minutes of pure bliss!!! Both of my teenager daughters have used it, actually my oldest is using it right now, and they both think this massager is amazing.So here is the breakdown.My wife gave it 5 stars and the only thing she thought was that it could only be better if it got more of the heal. But when the air compresses around the foot and the heat and the kneading kicks in she would give it 1,000 stars!My oldest gave it 5 stars and she also thought that it could get more of the heal. Like a little cup that massages the heal.My middle daughter gave it 4.5 stars. It felt really good once she figured out how to adjust her feet.My two and a half year old decided to use it and she's been giggling and absolutely loves it. She doesn't understand the 5 star system but she said she loves it!!! She was scared at first and didn't want to go near it... But then after my wife and both daughters giggle and smile and laugh... my youngest daughter put her feet in it and absolutely loved it!!!As for me... I give it 5 stars. I started out on the default setting (3) and then moved it down to setting (1) and now I use it on setting (2). This is the first time in a year and a half that my feet have felt blissful. I went down to Good Feet and got custom fit insoles about three days before I got this Shiatsu Foot Massager. The insoles felt good and were a major improvement, but now that I'm using the Good Feet 3 Step program in conjunction with the massager about 4-5 times a day, I actually walked for the first time today without pain. And I've only had the massager for (3) days!So as far as planters fasciitis goes, I recommend that you take preventative measures as soon as you notice the pain. You can usually tell that you have planters fasciitis if you have a sharp shooting pain when you first stand on your feet after waking up in the morning. There are exercises that you can find on Google and YouTube that are very helpful and I sincerely believe that had I bought this massager a year and a half ago, I believe that I would have knocked my planters fasciitis out in the first week and saved my self 17.5 months of pain.If your feet hurt or are fatigued... Try this massager... You won't be sorry!

This unit is great, it delivers the right amount of heat and the combo massage and kneading works great. I compared a lot of different units before buying this one and I made the right choice. Its worth the price. UPDATE - I have used to unit a lot over the last few days as I need to get better circulation in my feet. Once you start using this machine, you won't want to shut it off, it works that well. There are some complaints on the reviews about it hurting your feet. There are 5 different settings, so if you start off at the lowest one, which is what the manufacturer suggests, you can increase the settings as you wish. This can be done with the unit running and your feet inside. I am a size 10 shoe, and my feet fit fine inside with room to spare. You have the option of having the heat on or off. The heat does not burn you, it is just enough to keep your feet warm. There is no setting to raise or lower the heat, just on or off. There is a timer on it so it runs for a maximum of 15 minutes, then it will auto shut off. It does a total massage of the entire feet, top, side and bottom. The unit is totally quiet, the only nose it makes is a very slight sounds when the air pressure is released, and you can just barely hear that. It is also light weight so it is easy to move around if you need to. I have not found any negatives or flaws in the unit at all, to me it is well worth the price.

This is one great device. I ordered this based on its reviews and also knowing that there are some drawbacks (including price). I got it very quickly (YAY!) and I used it immediately for several hours. It's very effective in terms of vibration, heat and shiatsu /pressure point massage. It's almost too good. The compression with air makes the fit of the feet into the 2 spots very tight on the top of the foot. (breathe, breathe breathe). It doesn't last long but if move your foot the wrong way, it's going to be *tight*. ( that's why they lost a star) That said, the machine does adjust the compression pretty quickly.It found all the knots and tight spots on my feet (that also link up to tight spots and knots on my body) and worked them really well. I had tight shoulders and it loosened up really quickly. My feet get sore from some of the same massaging/kneading points over and over again...... but that's in a very small section of one foot. I figure over time it will get better. I found that if I moved a foot horizontally in a different direction, it made a difference in the compression tightness and also the soreness of the pressure points. Used it today and found that my feet are not as sore as they have been for the last couple of days. (Bonus!)It's a solid, rather heavy machine. It's not flimsy plastic! It needs to sit in one place and not be moved around a lot. You can move it from room to room, just don't try to keep moving it while it's working. The cloth liner for the feet is washable too.I love this. It is a bit pricy but I think it's worth it. The 5th star is due to the lack of adjustments available for the compression.

Got it within 24 Hours!Tried right away, very little to read!Heat is not extreme = Good enough to warm up the feetFelt really great after!Only thing is there is NO VIBRATION as such! Unless it comes from the inflating/deflating function!ONLY REASON It gets a 4outof5!
