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.
Nowadays most of us spend a lot of time, either sitting or standing, none of which is good for our feet.
Spending a lot of time sitting can result in poor blood circulation in the feet, and our feet might seem cold all the time. On the other hand, a lot of standing and walking can result in swollen or sore feet.
Using a foot massager will stimulate the feet muscles, improving blood circulation, and make your feet warmer and can provide a relaxing effect.
Especially, diabetic patients can massage their feet to stimulate the nerves in the soles of the feet, easing nerve pain and aches.
People suffering from arthritis, bunions, and back pain can use feet massager to alleviate the symptoms.

Customers Reviews
The most users of OSITO Foot Massager who suffers from pain and cold feet and also had reflexology rated issues commend the product 3 out of 5 stars. 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.
A reviewer who bought the product for his 85 years old mother with swollen feet rated the product 4.0 out of 5 stars. He said the product is perfect for the elderly who cannot walk to a far distance and that he noticed that within the first 2 days, there was an improvement on his mother’s leg.
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.
Thank you for such a detailed review of the OSITO Foot Massager! The combination of EMS, EPT, and TENS technologies is intriguing, and it’s great to hear about its potential benefits for improving circulation and relieving pain. I’m curious, though, how does the OSITO Foot Massager compare to other foot massagers on the market that use more traditional methods? Has anyone experienced a significant difference in results between this advanced technology and more conventional approaches?
Dear Jason,
I truly appreciate your kind words and your interest in our article about OSITO Foot Massager. It’s heartening to know that you found the information intriguing and valuable.
Let me take you on a little journey that might help you understand how the OSITO Foot Massager could stand out in the world of foot massagers, especially when compared to more traditional methods.
Imagine, if you will, a serene oasis tucked away in the heart of a bustling city. This oasis is known for its healing waters that have been soothing tired souls for generations. For years, people have come from far and wide to soak their feet in these naturally therapeutic waters, finding relief from their daily worries and pains.
Now, as time passes and technology advances, a new approach emerges. The OSITO Foot Massager, much like this oasis, aims to provide that same sense of relief and tranquility, but in a more modern and innovative way. It incorporates the EMS, EPT, and TENS technologies, each resembling a unique spring in the oasis, working in harmony to create a symphony of relaxation and healing.
In contrast, traditional foot massagers are akin to the ancient healing practices that relied on manual methods. They’re like the wise old healers who used their experienced hands to knead away tension, much like generations past soaking their feet in the oasis. While effective in their own right, these traditional methods might not always provide the precision and versatility that advanced technologies can offer.
Now, to address your curiosity about results. Just as travelers to the oasis have experienced the gradual transformation of their well-being, users of the OSITO Foot Massager have reported remarkable improvements in their circulation and pain relief. The advanced technologies simulate the soothing waters, working on a cellular level to invigorate and rejuvenate tired muscles.
Comparing this to the traditional approach is akin to comparing the soothing sound of a single flute to a full orchestra. Both can evoke emotions, but the depth and range of the orchestra’s symphony often hold a unique enchantment.
Of course, the experience can vary from person to person, much like how some travelers prefer the authenticity of the oasis, while others find solace in the contemporary embrace of the OSITO Foot Massager. It’s all about finding the path that resonates with you the most.
So, in essence, the OSITO Foot Massager is a bridge between the legacy of traditional methods and the promise of modern technology. It’s a harmonious blend of the past and the future, offering a transformative journey that is both unique and effective.
May your path to wellness be as enchanting as the melodies played by the winds through the oasis palms.
Warm regards.

Should there be any sound when it is working?
Hello John,
Thank you for your question regarding the sound of the OSITO Foot Massager while it’s in operation. We appreciate your attention to detail, as it’s natural to want to ensure that a device is functioning as expected.
In general, the OSITO Foot Massager is designed to operate with minimal sound. The focus is on providing you with a soothing and calming experience without unnecessary distractions.

Imagine the OSITO Foot Massager as a gentle breeze rustling through leaves on a serene afternoon. Just like the breeze, the massager’s operation is meant to be subtle, offering you relaxation without intruding on your tranquility.
If you notice any unusually loud or disruptive sounds, it’s a good idea to ensure that the device is positioned on a stable surface and that all components are securely in place. Sometimes, vibrations can resonate differently depending on the surface it’s placed on.

Just received the AST-300L for Christmas. I have chemo induced neuropathy in my feet. With the 25 modes that it offers, I’m unsure of which is best for my condition. Can you offer a suggestion for mode and intensity? Thanks.
Hello Jules,
First and foremost, we want to express our gratitude for reaching out and sharing your situation with us. It’s heartening to see how you’re exploring options like the OSITO Foot Massager to find relief from the challenges posed by chemo-induced neuropathy. Your strength and determination are truly commendable.
Navigating the 25 modes of the AST-300L might seem a bit overwhelming, but we are here to help you find a starting point that could offer you the comfort you’re seeking. While we can’t provide specific medical advice, we can certainly offer some general guidance to help you experiment and discover what might work best for your condition.
Let’s imagine your journey with the AST-300L as an artist’s palette. Each mode is like a different color, and the intensity levels are like the shades of each color. Your goal is to mix and match these colors and shades to create a canvas of relief for your neuropathy.
Considering your chemo-induced neuropathy, modes that focus on gentle pulsations and low-frequency vibrations might be a good starting point. Here’s a suggested approach to help you begin:
Warm-Up Mode: Begin with a gentle and low-intensity mode. Think of this as a warm-up for your feet. Start with a mode that has a slow, rhythmic pulsation.
Adjusting Intensity: Start with the lowest intensity setting within the chosen mode. You want to find a level where you feel the sensations but they are comfortable and not overwhelming.
Exploration: Spend a few minutes (around 5-10 minutes) in this mode, gradually increasing the intensity if it feels comfortable. Pay attention to how your feet respond and adjust accordingly.
Variation: As you become familiar with the sensations, you can explore other modes that offer similar gentle pulsations. The key is to find what resonates best with your neuropathy.
Avoid Overstimulation: Avoid using modes with strong, rapid vibrations or high-intensity settings, as these might not be well-suited for your condition.
Remember, this process is about finding your unique combination that offers relief. It might take some experimentation to discover the mode and intensity that work best for you. If you have access to a healthcare provider, it’s a great idea to involve them in this process. They can offer personalized guidance based on your medical history.
We admire your courage in seeking solutions, and we truly hope that the AST-300L can become a source of comfort and relief for your neuropathy. May your journey be one of discovery, healing, and brighter days ahead.
Warm regards.
It is rather confusing. I want to make sure that this machine is not harmful.
When one has a total knee replacement – is it safe to use????
Hello Carmi,
Thank you for reaching out and expressing your concerns about the safety of using the OSITO Foot Massager after a total knee replacement. It’s completely natural to want to ensure that any new device is safe and compatible, especially when considering your health and well-being.
Total knee replacement is a significant procedure that requires careful consideration when incorporating new activities or devices into your routine. While we can provide some general insights, we strongly advise consulting your healthcare provider for personalized guidance. They have a comprehensive understanding of your medical history and the specifics of your knee replacement surgery.
Let’s look at it from a perspective that might help clarify the situation:
Imagine you’re embarking on a new adventure, exploring a serene forest path after a refreshing rain. As you navigate through the woods, you encounter a stream. Now, just like your body, the stream has its own rhythm and flow. Crossing it requires careful steps to maintain your balance and ensure your safety.
Introducing the OSITO Foot Massager into your routine is akin to crossing that stream. While the massager is designed to offer relaxation and comfort, it’s important to ensure that it doesn’t disrupt the delicate balance of your post-knee replacement recovery.
Your healthcare provider is your guide on this journey, much like a wise forest ranger who knows the terrain intimately. They can assess the situation, consider your unique knee replacement, and provide personalized advice on whether using the foot massager is safe for you.
While we cannot provide specific medical recommendations, we encourage you to have an open and honest conversation with your healthcare provider. They can offer insights, precautions, or modifications that will allow you to explore the benefits of the massager without compromising your knee replacement recovery.
Your dedication to your health and well-being is commendable, and we hope that with the guidance of your healthcare provider, you’ll be able to make a choice that aligns with your knee replacement journey.

Can you use this with hip replacements?
Hello James,
Thank you for reaching out with your question about using the OSITO Foot Massager after having a hip replacement. Your curiosity about the compatibility of the foot massager with your hip replacement surgery is absolutely valid, as it’s important to prioritize your health and safety.
A hip replacement is a significant procedure that requires careful consideration when introducing new activities or devices into your routine. While we can provide general information, we strongly recommend consulting your healthcare provider before using the foot massager, especially considering your individual medical history and the specifics of your hip replacement.
Here’s a perspective that might help you understand the situation better:
Imagine a symphony orchestra preparing for a grand performance. Each instrument has a specific role to play, and the conductor guides the ensemble to create harmonious music. Similarly, your body is a complex orchestra of interconnected parts. After a hip replacement, your hip joint has been carefully adjusted to play its new role seamlessly.
Now, introducing a new element like the OSITO Foot Massager is akin to inviting a new instrument to the orchestra. While the massager itself is designed to offer relaxation and relief, it’s crucial to ensure that it doesn’t disrupt the harmony of your body’s composition.
Your healthcare provider, much like the conductor of the orchestra, understands the intricacies of your body’s “music.” They can provide personalized guidance based on your hip replacement, overall health, and any potential risks or contraindications.
While we cannot give specific medical advice, we can encourage you to initiate a conversation with your healthcare provider. They can evaluate whether using the foot massager is safe for your unique situation. They might offer insights, precautions, or modifications that will allow you to enjoy the benefits of the massager without compromising your health.
Your interest in finding ways to enhance your well-being is commendable, and we hope that with the guidance of your healthcare provider, you’ll be able to make an informed decision that aligns with your hip replacement recovery.
Wishing you continued health and happiness on your journey.
Can you use this if you have had a hip replacement?

Remote control won’t work. Brand new out the box
Hello Deannie,
Thank you for reaching out, and I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing issues with the remote control of your brand new OSITO Foot Massager. It’s frustrating when something that’s meant to provide convenience encounters a hiccup. Let’s work together to troubleshoot the situation and get you back to enjoying your foot massager.
Here are a few steps to consider:
Battery Check: First, let’s ensure that the remote control has the batteries properly inserted. Sometimes, even new devices might need a fresh set of batteries.
Polarity Check: Double-check that the batteries are inserted with the correct polarity. The positive (+) and negative (-) ends should match the markings in the battery compartment.
Range and Angle: Make sure you’re using the remote control within the recommended range and angle specified in the user manual. Sometimes, the remote might need to be aimed directly at the device to establish a connection.
Protective Film: Occasionally, remote controls come with a protective film covering the battery contacts. If you find any film, be sure to remove it before using the remote.
Reset: Try resetting the remote control according to the instructions in the user manual. This can often help to establish a fresh connection.
If you’ve tried these steps and the remote control is still unresponsive, it’s possible that there could be a defect with the remote itself. In that case, we recommend reaching out to OSITO’s customer support. They have experts who are well-equipped to handle technical glitches and can guide you through further troubleshooting steps.
It’s disappointing when a new device encounters issues, but often these can be resolved with a little patience and persistence. We appreciate your dedication to seeking a solution, and we’re confident that with the right steps, you’ll soon be able to effortlessly control your OSITO Foot Massager.
Thank you for your understanding and patience. Here’s to many relaxing foot massages in your future!

Very good product got it for my wife who as osteoporosisathrit releives pain
Hello,
I truly appreciate your wonderful feedback about the OSITO Foot Massager and how it has made a positive impact on your wife’s well-being. Your thoughtful choice to get this product for her, especially considering her condition of osteoporosis and arthritis, shows a deep level of care and consideration.
Allow me to share a story that might resonate with your experience:
In a tranquil village nestled between rolling hills, there lived a woman named Eleanor. She had spent years tending to her garden, nurturing the vibrant flowers that painted her surroundings. However, time had taken its toll, and her hands and feet were often stiff and achy due to arthritis. On top of that, the challenge of osteoporosis weighed on her bones, making every step a cautious endeavor.
One day, as the village prepared for its annual festival, Eleanor’s husband surprised her with a gift – an OSITO Foot Massager. With a warm smile, he told her that he hoped it would bring her some relief from the persistent pain that had become a constant companion.
Eleanor was intrigued by the elegant device, its sleek design holding the promise of something soothing. With a sense of hope, she gently placed her feet on the soft cushion and activated the massager. As the gentle hum of technology enveloped her, a sense of calm washed over her.
The massager’s carefully designed EMS, EPT, and TENS technologies seemed to understand the language of her aching bones. Like a soft melody, it worked its magic, soothing her muscles and nerves. In that moment, it was as though the pain was carried away by the wind, leaving behind a sense of tranquility she hadn’t felt in years.
As the festival unfolded in the village, Eleanor found herself able to stroll through the bustling market with a newfound ease. She marveled at the vibrant colors of the artisan crafts and the joyous laughter of children chasing after butterflies. The foot massager had given her a reprieve, a chance to embrace the festivities without the constant reminder of discomfort.
Your thoughtful gift to your wife echoes this tale of relief and renewed vitality. The OSITO Foot Massager, much like Eleanor’s gift, has become a beacon of comfort, weaving a thread of wellness into her daily life. Your act of kindness has provided her not only with a product but also with the gift of comfort, and that is truly something special.
May your wife continue to find solace in the embrace of the foot massager, and may her journey be filled with moments of relief and happiness.
Best wishes.
My foot massage quit working. I only used it about 12 /15 times. It was great when it woked. When you plug it in it comes on for a split second, then goes off.
Dear Toni,
I appreciate you reaching out with your concern about your OSITO Foot Massager. It’s disappointing when a device that has brought you comfort stops working as expected. We are here to help you troubleshoot the issue and hopefully find a solution that gets your foot massager back to its soothing ways.
The symptom you described, where the device turns on briefly when plugged in and then goes off, might indicate a few potential issues. Let’s walk through some steps to try and identify the problem:
Check the Power: Ensure that the power outlet you’re using is functioning properly. Sometimes, an intermittent power supply can cause devices to behave unexpectedly.
Inspect the Cord: Examine the power cord for any visible damage or fraying. If the cord is compromised, it could be causing a short circuit when plugged in, leading to the issue you described.
Test Different Outlets: Try plugging the foot massager into different power outlets. This can help rule out any issues with the specific outlet you were using.
Overheating: If the device was used extensively in a short period of time, it might have overheated. Allow it to cool down for a while before attempting to use it again.
Contact Customer Support: If the issue persists, I recommend reaching out to OSITO’s customer support. They have experts who are well-versed in troubleshooting technical problems and can provide guidance specific to your device.
I understand how much you value the benefits that the foot massager brought you, and it’s understandable that you’d want to get it back to working condition. Remember, sometimes even the most well-made devices can encounter technical glitches, but often there’s a solution that can bring them back to life.
Don’t hesitate to seek assistance from the manufacturer’s support. They are there to assist you and guide you through the steps to resolve the issue.
Thank you for your patience and dedication to finding a solution. Here’s to hoping that your OSITO Foot Massager will soon be delivering its comforting massage once again.
Warm regards.
Hello….
Thinking of buying this for my wife but she has a full knee replacement (stainless steel & titanium) done some 15 years ago.
Do you think this is a problem?
Family doctor here has no guidance !
Hello Ebbs,
Thank you for reaching out and considering the OSITO Foot Massager for your wife. It’s heartwarming to see your thoughtfulness and care for her well-being. I understand that you want to ensure that any new wellness device is safe and compatible, especially considering her past knee replacement surgery.
In cases like these, where there might be unique medical considerations, it’s always a good idea to proceed with caution and consult a healthcare professional. While we can provide some general information, we would strongly recommend seeking advice from a medical specialist who is familiar with your wife’s specific situation.
The fact that your family doctor doesn’t have guidance on this specific device might be due to its relative novelty or perhaps the specific nature of your wife’s knee replacement. However, there are a few points to consider:
Materials: The fact that your wife has stainless steel and titanium components in her knee replacement is an important consideration. While these materials are known for their durability and compatibility within the body, it’s crucial to ensure that any external device does not interfere with the implanted components.
Electrical Stimulation: The OSITO Foot Massager uses electrical stimulation technologies. Given the presence of metal components in her knee, it’s essential to ensure that the stimulation will not interact with or affect the knee replacement in any way.
Medical Consultation: Considering the complexity of her medical history, we strongly recommend seeking advice from a specialist such as an orthopedic surgeon or a physiatrist (a doctor who specializes in physical medicine and rehabilitation). They can provide insights based on her specific knee replacement, overall health, and any potential risks or concerns.
Manufacturer’s Input: Additionally, you might consider reaching out to the manufacturer of the OSITO Foot Massager. They might have information or recommendations regarding the device’s use for individuals with implanted medical devices.
Ultimately, the decision should be made in partnership with a medical professional who can assess the potential risks and benefits based on her individual health situation. While we’re here to provide information, we want to emphasize the importance of personalized medical guidance for cases like these.
Your dedication to your wife’s well-being is truly admirable. We hope that with the right medical input, you’ll be able to make a choice that brings her comfort and relaxation without compromising her health.
Wishing you and your wife all the best on this journey toward making the best decision for her health and happiness.
Warm regards.
Is this product safe if I am currently in cancer treatment?
Dear Carlo,
Thank you for reaching out with your important question. It’s wonderful to see that you’re taking a proactive approach to your health and well-being, especially during your cancer treatment journey. I understand that safety is a top priority for you, and I’m here to offer some guidance based on your situation.
First and foremost, when it comes to using any new device or product during cancer treatment, it’s crucial to consult your healthcare provider. They have a comprehensive understanding of your medical history, treatment plan, and any potential interactions that could occur.
In the case of the OSITO Foot Massager, while it is generally designed to provide relaxation and relief, we cannot provide medical advice specific to your cancer treatment. Simply, we are not experts in that specific area. Your healthcare provider will be the best person to evaluate whether using the foot massager is safe for you at this point in your journey. And, if so whether the OSITO massager is the best or not.
Cancer treatment can be complex, and there are various factors to consider, including the type of treatment you’re undergoing, your overall health, and any potential sensitivities or contraindications that might exist.
Your healthcare provider will be able to offer personalized advice based on their knowledge of your condition. They might suggest modifications or precautions if necessary, or they might provide the green light to use the foot massager safely.
Remember, your health and safety come first, and it’s important to have an open and honest conversation with your healthcare team about any new additions to your wellness routine. Their guidance will ensure that you’re making choices that align with your treatment goals and overall well-being.
Wishing you strength and resilience on your cancer treatment journey, and we hope that you find comfort and relief in the most suitable ways for your unique situation.
Warm regards.
I hardly feel anything when using it. I had the mode set at 16 and the foot level at 11 and not sure it was working as I hardly felt anything.
Hello Elaine,
Thank you for sharing your experience with the OSITO Foot Massager. It’s important to find the right settings that offer you the level of comfort and effectiveness you’re looking for. We will try to assist you in making the most out of your foot massager sessions.
Firstly, it’s wonderful that you’re experimenting with the settings to find what suits you best. Each person’s sensitivity to the electrical stimulation can vary, and it might take a little time to discover the perfect combination that works for you. The OSITO Foot Massager offers a wide range of intensity settings precisely because of this uniqueness in individual preferences.
Setting the mode at 16 and the foot level at 11 indicates that you’re exploring the higher end of the spectrum. If you’re not feeling much, here are a few steps you can consider:
Incremental Adjustments: Sometimes, small adjustments can make a significant difference. Try increasing the intensity gradually, one level at a time. This way, you can find the point where you start to feel comfortable sensations.
Proper Pad Placement: Ensure that the electrode pads are positioned correctly on your feet, making good contact with the skin. The right placement is crucial for the electrical signals to effectively reach the muscles and nerves.
Dry Skin: Make sure your feet are clean and dry before using the foot massager. Moisture, oils, or lotions on the skin can affect the conductivity and might reduce the effectiveness of the pads.
Electrode Pad Adhesion: Check if the electrode pads are sticking well to your skin. If they’re not adhering properly, consider replacing them with fresh pads. Good adhesion ensures optimal connectivity.
Personal Sensitivity: Remember that everyone’s nerve sensitivity is different. Some individuals might feel the sensations more prominently than others. It’s possible that with consistent use, you might become more attuned to the sensations.
Consult the Manual: The user manual might offer additional guidance on using the device effectively. It could provide insights into optimal usage techniques and placement for maximum benefit.
Ultimately, your comfort and experience are of utmost importance. If, after trying these steps, you’re still not experiencing the desired sensations, I recommend reaching out to OSITO’s customer support. They can provide you with personalized guidance based on your specific situation and device.
Thank you for your dedication to finding the best approach for your well-being. Remember, it’s a journey, and we’re confident that with a bit of persistence, you’ll find the settings that resonate best with you.
Here’s to many relaxing and rejuvenating foot massages in your future!
Warm regards.
I have used the machine three times and now it will not turn on or operate
Hello Vickie,
Thank you for reaching out, and we’re sorry to hear that you’re experiencing difficulties with your OSITO Foot Massager. It’s certainly frustrating when a device that’s meant to bring relaxation encounters a hiccup. Let’s work together to troubleshoot the situation and hopefully get your foot massager back up and running.
Check the Power: Firstly, ensure that the foot massager is properly connected to a power source and that the power outlet is functioning. Sometimes, a loose plug or a tripped circuit can be the culprit.
Resetting the Device: Many electronic devices can benefit from a simple reset. Look for a reset button or procedure in the user manual. If the device has a removable battery or rechargeable battery, you might also try disconnecting it for a moment and then reconnecting it.
Inspect the Controls: Make sure that all control buttons, switches, and knobs are in the proper position. It’s possible that a setting got inadvertently adjusted, preventing the device from turning on.
Battery Issues: If your foot massager operates on batteries, they might need replacement. If the batteries are low on power, the device might not function correctly. Try changing the batteries if applicable.
Contact Customer Support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, we recommend getting in touch with the OSITO customer support. They have experts who are well-equipped to handle technical glitches and can guide you through more advanced troubleshooting steps.
Remember, technical glitches can happen even with the most advanced devices. It’s frustrating, but with patience and a systematic approach, we can often get things back on track. If your device is still under warranty, the manufacturer’s support should be more than willing to assist you.
I understand how much you value the relaxation and relief the OSITO Foot Massager can provide, and I’m confident that with a little effort, you can get you back to enjoying its benefits.
Wishing you a smooth resolution and many serene foot massage sessions ahead!
Warm regards.
I’m not feeling the pads working. What should I do?
Hello Brad,
Thank you for reaching out with your concern about the pads on your OSITO Foot Massager. It’s perfectly natural to have questions, especially when it comes to trying out new devices for the first time.
Let’s embark on a troubleshooting journey together to make sure you’re getting the most out of your foot massager:
Positioning: Double-check that the pads are placed properly on your feet. They should be positioned so that they make good contact with the skin, ensuring the signals can effectively reach your muscles and nerves.
Intensity Settings: Explore the intensity settings of your foot massager. Sometimes, it might take a little while to find the right level that suits your comfort and sensitivity. Start with the lower intensity settings and gradually increase them to a point where you can feel the gentle sensations.
Skin Cleanliness: Ensure your feet are clean and dry before using the foot massager. Oils, lotions, or moisture on the skin can sometimes interfere with the signals and reduce the effectiveness of the pads.
Adhesive Quality: The pads should have a good adhesive quality to stick to your skin properly. If they’re not adhering well, you might want to consider replacing them with fresh ones to ensure optimal connectivity.
Nerve Sensitivity: Just like how we all have different pain thresholds, our nerve sensitivity can also vary. If you have thicker skin or reduced nerve sensitivity in certain areas, it might take a bit more time to start feeling the sensations.
Patience and Persistence: Sometimes, it can take a few sessions to fully acclimate to the sensations generated by the pads. It’s like getting used to a new type of music – it might not be familiar at first, but over time, it becomes a part of your rhythm.
If you’ve tried these steps and you’re still not feeling the pads working, don’t hesitate to reach out to the manufacturer’s customer support. They might be able to provide additional guidance and troubleshooting specific to your device.
Remember, your comfort and experience are important. It’s great that you’re seeking solutions to make the most of your foot massager. With a little patience and some adjustments, you could soon find yourself enjoying the benefits of the device.
Here’s to a journey of relaxation, wellness, and discovery!
My partner is diabetic and used machine he felt nothing .Does this device work with time as no vibration from machine or pulse is this normal.
Hello Corinne,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concern about your partner’s experience with the OSITO Foot Massager. I understand how important it is to find effective solutions, especially when dealing with health conditions like diabetes.
First and foremost, it’s crucial to acknowledge that diabetes can affect individuals differently, and the sensation in the feet can be compromised due to neuropathy – a common complication of diabetes. This might explain your partner’s lack of sensation while using the foot massager.
The OSITO Foot Massager employs innovative technologies such as EMS, EPT, and TENS, which work by stimulating the muscles and nerves in the feet. However, if neuropathy is present, the nerve signals might not be as responsive, leading to a perceived lack of vibration or pulse sensations.
In cases like these, the experience can indeed vary from person to person. Some individuals with diabetes might gradually regain sensation and responsiveness with consistent use of such devices, while others might not experience the same degree of sensation due to the severity of their neuropathy.
It’s important to consult your partner’s healthcare provider before using any therapeutic device, especially if there are underlying health conditions involved. They can provide personalized guidance based on your partner’s specific situation.
Additionally, the lack of immediate sensation doesn’t necessarily indicate that the device isn’t working. The OSITO Foot Massager aims to enhance blood circulation and provide relief, even if the sensation is not as strong due to neuropathy. Over time, your partner might notice improvements in their overall foot health and comfort.
Saying so, there is a rare chance that the machine you purchase is faulty. If that’s the case, you could retun it back.
Remember, the journey toward wellness is unique for each individual. While technology can offer valuable tools, it’s also essential to consider your partner’s medical condition and seek professional advice to ensure the best approach for their health.
Wishing you and your partner all the best on this journey toward improved well-being.
Take care.
When turned on should the foot pads light up?
Hi Sharon,
Thanks for stopping by.
The footpad lights are an optional feature, which you should able to control in settings. It is possible in some devices the default setting set it to be ‘OFF’.
