PERFECT Solution for My Mechanic Husband's Calf and Foot Pain!

This machine arrived at my home about an hour ago and I had to get to my computer to write this review! My husband is a USPS Mechanic- he's on his feet all day, doing hard work fixing vehicles and such. His calves are overdeveloped, which cause pain in his legs. This also heavily contributes to plantar fasciitis. Having these two conditions makes sleeping difficult for him. For YEARS, he's tried various doctors, braces, and massages to loosen up the muscles in his feet and calves. Nothing relieved his discomfort. Nothing. This machine arrived at the door, my husband took it right out of the box. There's no assembly required. Simply plug it in to the outlet. I LOVED that. Within SECONDS, I swear to you, seconds, the expression on my husband's face spoke about the results. He was genuinely surprised about the targeted massage, the depth of the relief this immediately brought him. He was smiling, trying the different features, each time smiling. After a few minutes, maybe 10 or 15, he turned the machine off to feed the dogs and he got up. His expression, again, told me the genuine reaction about the results- his legs and his feet were LOOSE. He couldn't stop smiling, telling me he'd never experienced so much release from the tightness and pressure in his legs and feet. This machine is a miracle for him! He goes back to work tomorrow. That will be the real test, to see how this performs after a day of hard labor. Nonetheless, after watching him try the machine for the first time tonight, I have no doubt this is the answer we've been waiting for!

As close to a real massage as I’ve experienced.

I’m 6 ft, athletic build -size 11.5 foot- and typically very particular about product features and want the most out of products. I went with Human touch because of their longevity in the industry. What I find intriguing about this massager is its simplicity and the way it mimics the hands of an actual masseuse. A good foot massager (in real life) provides both targeted pressure in a specific place and also will switch to creating multiple sensations at once, such as squeezing the foot while also rubbing a specific area. To my knowledge, this massager is the only one that doesn’t use airbags to massage the lower calf and sides of the feet, rather, it uses a complex blade/roller system that creates a “wave” like sensation that works in unison across the foot, under the foot, and the lower calf. Each setting is unique—and I find that it’s like going to the pedicure place and getting a different person each time, each with their own “signature” way. I like this novelty. I wish that the calf massage went about 2 inches higher to hit the meaty part of my calf, but that’s ok. Where the massager does focus on my lower calf is the right area above the Achilles’ tendon and it hits it just right. Here’s the proof of the pudding to me: after a couple of rounds in this massager, I walk with an appreciation of the “before and after”—its tangible. As well: I find that I lament when the massage is over. I want to do another. And another. Last, I’ve fallen asleep to the massage. Great product so far.

Excellent performance, pleasure to use, nice looking design

At first reluctant to believe that it was possible to make a consumer level product that was this effective. This device has my very positive upvote on the following points. * Sleek design. Zip out liner, washable. * Easy to use; easy to store in a closet under clothes hung on hangers; at 25 lbs and a bit bulky possibly for women to move but likely manageable * Meaningful, easy to reach controls (if you leave kind of hidden ON switch clicked ON at all times). I would not want the added complexity, clutter, and dead battery headaches of a remote for such an easy to use machine unless I had trouble reaching to touch my knees while seated. * On initial experience, the power is surprising, even alarming. I got used to it after several seconds and now would absolutely not want to settle for anything less. The designer knew what he/she was doing in my opinion. * Firm massage and vigorous vibration of toes, soles, heels, and more than half way up my calf; perfect in my case (180 lb, 5'-11", size 10 1/2 shoe). I suspect that the machine would adapt to a variety of foot and leg sizes both larger and smaller than mine. YMMV. * Invigorating. * Excellent and quiet to use whole seated and catching up on correspondence. * I do not need the heat and so did not try that. * Would _definitely_ buy again.

Sciatica nerve is less

We bought this as an early Christmas present to ourselves. My husband currently has bad sciatica nerve issues from back surgery. The bottom of his feet feel like he walks on glass. His calf’s are so tight. Oh and his big toe feels like it’s on fire. With about 3 weeks under his belt with using it multiple times a day, this machine has Significantly improved his pain! We still have months of recovery ahead for him. But this machine is surely helping! You can feel the nubs (for lack of proper words) gently rubbing the bottom of your feet. Love how you can change the intensity. Cons : it could be a little taller (we are both 5’10”) and comes below the back of our knees. And because of the weight of the machine- it is not easy to move it around. If they could somehow develop wheels on the back sides- that would be perfect. And the price….. it is pricey! Love the vibration and the warming effect-it’s very nice! I recommend this foot/leg massager !!
