Human Touch Reflex SOL Foot & Calf Massager w/ Heat - Plantar Fasciitis Relief + Circulation + Shiatsu Deep Kneading + Vibrating for Stress + Compression - Adjustable for Women and Men up to 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.

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.

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.

Very relaxing. Gives a deep message. Moore so for the feet then the calf. Best to wear socks when using. If you go barefoot, you may receive a pinch. I only used the vibration and heat settings a few times. Both settings comforting. The heat setting makes some noise.

This foot massager is absolutely useless! Im a large guy, about 6 foot, with wide set shoulders and huge legs. I work a blue collar job and I am always sore and hurting after the day is done. I bought this so that I could relax, let it loosen up my muscles before a days work, I was hopping that maybe it would even help with the pain. No. Even as a large guy, this leg massager squeezes my legs with the strength of a 10 year old. I literally don't feel anything. In fact, I sometimes get so aggravated that its not helping me that I just turn it off walk away from it.For a long time I didn't make much money, and I saved for a few weeks to splurge for this leg massager. You can imagine how disappointed I am that this thing doesn't even do its job.When I originally got it, I was unimpressed but I thought that maybe I needed to let it break in, or maybe I was just doing it wrong. Fast forward several weeks later, and its still not helping. At this point, it sits in my room as a decoration piece because its unusable. If I could return it, I would. I don't get much time off work, but I felt it necessary to get on here and put my two cents in, thats how much I don't like this product. This is not worth the money!!Who knows, I may of gotten a dud, or a broken one, and if the sellers are willing to rectify this, I may change my opinion, and therefore my comment. As it stands, I am very unsatisfied.
