Before you make an appointment, ask your massage therapist if they have experience working with people who have PAD. They may be able to suggest certain techniques to help with your circulation safely. It may also be best to have shorter massage sessions that you get more often. Your therapist might want to limit time spent on your affected legs to just a couple of minutes at a time. Does Massage Help With PAD? Ivation Foot Spa: We appreciated the number of settings on this product and the deep, relaxing massage it gave, but it never really heated up the way we would have liked (and it’s bulky, making it hard to store). In general, Dr. Weiser says that both vibration and kneading massage are helpful for most users. If you have plantar fasciitis, though, you might find that a product with rolling massage, which can really work along the band of tissue under your sole, is the best option. Dr. Weiser also suggests looking for a massager that can accommodate your foot and your calf, if possible, to maximize your therapeutic options.As for frequency, using your EMS foot massager 2-3 times per week is a good starting point. You can adjust the frequency based on your comfort and individual needs. Maximizing the Benefits Opt for easy-to-clean options. Whether you’re sweating from the built-in heater or your feet smell a little funky after a long day at work, you’re going to want the ability to clean your foot massager. Make sure the model you choose has a machine-washable cover or can be wiped clean.

You can also consider getting your first massage from a professional massage therapist. Look for one who has a certification from Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals or the American Massage Therapy Association. If you had surgery on your feet, talk to your doctor or podiatrist first to see if foot massage is a good idea for you.

We also tested these foot massagers but ultimately decided not to include them in our list of recommendations. They fell short in our test when it came to convenience, effectiveness, and setting options: Snailax Shiatsu Foot Massager with Heat: With a slipper-like shape, this massager has good under-the-foot rollers but that’s about all. There’s very little variation in settings and wasn’t something we thought we would reach for day after day. Massage might make your aching legs feel better. But it’s possible the pressure and body work could loosen a blood clot.

Welcome to our comprehensive guide on how to use an EMS foot massager! I understand the importance of taking care of our feet and how a good foot massage can provide immense relaxation and therapeutic benefits.

While EMS foot massage is generally comfortable, it is not uncommon to experience mild discomfort, especially if you’re new to this type of therapy. However, if the discomfort is severe or persists, reduce the intensity or stop using the massager and consult with a professional. How do I clean and maintain my EMS foot massager? Overall experience: Did we like using it? Would we recommend it to our friends and family members? We also thought about what type of person might benefit most from each one (i.e. runners versus people with arthritis) and whether the cost of the product seemed appropriate for the results it could provide.That's not all, though. Foot massage boosts your circulation, which helps with healing and keeps your muscles and tissues healthy. That's especially important if you have health problems that add to poor circulation or nerve damage, like diabetes. Some foot massagers—both the traditional ones and the foot bath styles—come with a heating element that warms up your feet, increasing muscle relaxation and circulatory benefits. You should choose these products carefully, however, making sure that you can fully control how hot the massager gets. You should also be mindful of heating elements if you have certain medical conditions. Heating elements help to improve circulation, says Dr. Weiser, but they warn using these for patients with diabetes that their sensation to feel pain—hot or cold—can be severely compromised.

However, they should not be considered a substitute for professional medical treatment.
