Mobility aids have come a long way, and continue to evolve with technology and innovation but one of the most exciting achievements in recent years has been the wide range availability of standing wheelchairs. A standing wheelchair is a wheelchair that allows users to go from a sitting position to a standing position in their wheelchair. For those of us who don’t have mobility issues and constantly move from sitting to standing throughout the day, that may not sound like big news. But if you’re one of the many people with disabilities who spend most of their day sitting in their wheelch...

There are many devices out there these days that can assist you when you have an ankle or foot injury. One of the best and original inventions is a knee cruiser, or "knee walker".

This would be an excellent substitute to those devices and help you stay active and liberated to do everything from going to the park with your children to that last minute business meeting. A few health effects are improved circulation in affected leg, and par...

While gait trainers can look similar to walkers, pediatric gait trainers provide more specialized support for kids who don’t have the functional skills to walk or the posture control to walk with a walker. Gait trainers come in all shapes, designs, and sizes, but in this blog we’re focusing on gait trainers for kids. There are numerous health benefits to being able to stand, and even more benefits from walking. Pediatric gait trainers help kids who aren’t currently able to stand and/or walk on their own gain the strength (bones and muscles), balance, coordination, and skills to reap t...

Do you secretly love going to a nail salon for a pedicure for the sheer massage that accompanies it? Do you wish you could get a decent foot massage at home without having to beg your significant other? Now you don’t have to wait on anyone or even pay out money each time you want to be pampered. Products have been designed specifically to help you relax while your feet are massaged, making those long hours of standing at work or while doing errands that much more manageable.

 

One secret that makes the massage before a salon pedicure so relaxing is the use of warm water to start relaxing the feet even before the massage starts. Replicating that at home is affordable and easy. If you want to experience the exact same warm water foot bath at home, use the Crystal Mud Foot Spa Bath essential oils and herbs to create a relaxing spa atmosphere at home.

 

Not in the mood for a relaxing foot bath? The Bed Buddy Warming Footies provide soothing heat to your feet after seconds in the microwave (they’re washable so they can be used over and over again), allowing you to curl up and let the luxurious footies do all the work.

 

Guys, if foot spas and warming booties make you more stressed than relaxed, don’t despair – the following foot massagers are for you too.

 

For anyone who’s ever come home with extremely sore and tense leg muscles, they know that a simple full calf and foot massage feels just like heaven.  The Ucomfy Leg and Foot Massager is designed to massage the feet, ankles and calves all at the same time. The unique device has four flexible kneading discs that work calf muscles and ankles as well as pressure nodes that stimulate reflex points on the soles of the feet.  Three levels of intensity make the Ucomfy great for users of all ages and sizes.

 

The Medi Rub Foot Massager is another popular relief for aching feet. Maintenance free, the Medi Rub helps prevent leg cramps, making it great to use after workouts. Some foot massagers just vibrate, but this foot massager also oscillates to increase blood circulation in the feet and stimulate all the nerve endings (there are thousands) in the soles of your feet.

 

Don’t want to wait until you get home for a foot massage, but not about to ask a coworker to massage your feet (good thinking, by the way). If you can’t imagine walking into work with a larger size foot massager and you don’t want to have to share with coworkers (don’t blame you – who knows how often those feet are washed?!) you can still get a relaxing foot massage at work with a discrete, inexpensive massager like the Wooden Foot Roller Massager.

 

No, it doesn’t have as many bells and whistles as the Ucomfy Leg and Foot Massager or the Jeanie Rub Foot Massager, but your feet will still sigh with relief when you slip off your work shoe, and under your desk roll your foot over the wooden roller massager (this is quiet unless you sigh because your feet feel so good, in which case a little discipline may be needed).

 

These are just a few of the many foot massagers on the market. Depending on what type of massage pressure you like, portability, heat preferences, and more there is a foot massager for every budget. Stop wasting time begging your significant other to massage your feet or money on monthly trips to the salon and invest in a foot massager product that will keep you happy for years to come!
