Just as you massage your neck, shoulder, and back, your feet also can enjoy some feet massaging.

Massaging your foot regularly can offer a lot of health benefits. It is a great way to relax after a long day at work. It improves blood circulation, stimulates muscles, reduces tension, relieves pain. Massaging feet can stimulate the nerves, and warms up your feet too.

They collectively said the product is amazing and helped with the pain and circulation. However, some were not happy at the end due to the Cons mentioned above.

Generally speaking, most users agreed that the device improved pains in their legs. And, the product was lightweight, easy to use, and the instructions are very simple. However, in our opinion the product reliability is a biggest issue. In many cases, this product has not last more a few months, which is a shame.

One of our clients also made a criticism that the pulse beat is not powerful enough to him, which worth mentioning here too.

Conclusion

Since our blood circulation system is a vital body system that takes care of several functions in our body, improving it will not only relieve painful feet and relax aching muscles, but also boost your overall body health. So if you or any of your loved ones are suffering leg cramps, arthritis, neuropathy and finds is difficult to walk because of the unbearable pain, and you may have also tried other means of relieving them – pain killers, natural remedies or supplements you should consider trying out an Osito foot circulation machine.

This machine may help regularize blood circulation in your feet. It massages your foot, strengthens your muscles, helps you to relax, and the TENS unit connected to it works on improving other parts of the body too. However, based on most of our readers and client experience with this foot massager, this is a low to average quality product; hence, we do NOT recommend the Osito Foot Massager.

Tip: This is what we think about Sequential Air Compression Leg Massager, Thumper Massager, and Human Touch Foot and Calf Massager.
