Foot Massage Techniques Explained

Learning more about the massage techniques provided by a foot massager will help you choose a model that will suit your needs. Among the most common massage techniques are Shiatsu, kneading, vibrations, and heating. So, in case you are curious about how exactly they work and how can they help you feel better, take a closer look at what we’ve found.

• Shiatsu: with origins from traditional Chinese medicine, the Shiatsu massage is a Japanese massage and it simply means finger pressure. So, the person who gives a massage has to use only the hands in order to apply pressure on the muscles. In what concernss the foot massagers, these use rotating heads that provide a massage similar to a human massage. The main benefits of this type of massage include relaxation, improved digestion and circulation, and many others.
• Kneading: this is a popular massage technique, so many manufacturers choose to use it when they’ve made the massagers. The kneading falls in the category of petrissage movements. Therefore, by circular movements and using pressure, both the superficial and deep tissues receive the benefits of the massage. This technique is usually used to stimulate the muscles and increase their flexibility, but also to relieve stress.

• Heat: the heat is not exactly a massage technique, but it’s rather used in combination with other techniques in most electrical massagers. In what concerns the foot massagers, the heat is more like a setting in order to relax the muscles and eliminate the stress.
