Shiatsu foot massage and foot bath experience for your home

Health starts with the feet – We tell you what matters

For centuries, healers, doctors, and physiotherapists in Asia have talked about the connection between general well-being and the feet.

Their theory: Certain acupressure points on the feet are directly connected to areas of tension in the rest of the body. When these nerves are stimulated, they send a signal to the central nervous system to help the body heal and relax.

The feet are the foundation of our body and must be cared for accordingly. Many people know that one of the most beneficial ways to relieve foot pain and achieve general relaxation lies in the art of a good foot massage.

According to Harvard Health, regular foot massages improve circulation, stimulate muscles, reduce tension, and often relieve pain. Just like your neck, back, and shoulders, your feet can also benefit from regular massage.

The Chinese call this "reflexology," while the Japanese use the word "shiatsu." Both practices utilize the same principles of massage and acupuncture to relieve tension, heal pain, and restore better circulation throughout the body.

These days, one of the most common ways to get a Shiatsu massage is with an electric foot massager. These portable massagers are specifically designed to relax swollen, tired, and aching feet. Unlike foam rollers or massage balls, which you have to manually move around your feet, electric foot massagers have built-in wave patterns that knead, roll, and press away stress. All you have to do is plug in the device, place your feet in the foot rests, and let the little electric helper do the rest.

What you need to know before buying an electric foot massager.

There are many factors to consider when choosing the right foot massager. Below are the most important points we considered when researching this list.

Portability: The best electric foot massagers are no larger than a small footstool and can be plugged into any standard electrical outlet. Whether you're working at the office, relaxing at home, or getting ready for bed, a good foot massager is easy to transport and take with you.

How does a top-of-the-line foot massager work? Electric foot massagers work by gently stroking and kneading your soles and muscles, and most also have a heating function. Naipo's latest combo product, the oFelxiSpa™, combines the relaxing effects of foot massagers with an innovative foot steam bath. The soothing effects of steam are proven to improve blood circulation, eliminate fatigue, and make you feel more energized. A good foot spa treatment obviously relieves and heals foot pain, but it also has a revitalizing effect on the entire body.

The best Shiatsu foot massagers work by manipulating pressure points along the soles of your feet. The pulsating massage mimics the hand and finger pressure movements of a professional masseuse or masseur.

What are the benefits of a Shiatsu foot massage? The best Shiatsu foot massagers can not only relieve uncomfortable stiffness and tension, but also restore strength and flexibility to the feet while improving blood flow and circulation. A heated massage is also excellent for warming up your feet on a cold day.

Many people believe that a foot massage can also help boost overall energy levels by reviving tired feet and restoring the body's natural balance. It's also said that a foot massage before bed can help you sleep better at night.

For runners and athletes, electric foot massagers help relieve pain, especially after being on their feet all day and pounding the asphalt.

But even without specific foot problems, it simply feels good to have your feet massaged after a long day at work. The best Shiatsu foot massagers help calm your mind, relieve stress, and feel more relaxed, from sole to toe.

High-end foot massager meets foot bath

So let’s take a look at the latest foot massage product from NAIPO.

The oFlexiSpa™ steam bath with Shiatsu foot massage function features a modern design and is the winner of the renowned German iF Design Award 2020.

But first-class technology also lies beneath the hood. Not only does the oFlexiSpa™ boast various massage modes and three heating and timer settings (10, 15, and 20 minutes), but unlike most other foot baths, the device is extremely water-efficient and ready to use in just seconds. While other devices require several liters of water and often more than 20 minutes to heat up, Naipo's innovative steam spa massager achieves all this with just one cup of water. The device is heated up and ready to use in about 30 seconds. Then the foot pampering session can begin. The kneading and pressing movements of the device mimic the hands of a professional masseur, with strong, targeted pressure on the most important acupressure points on the feet. The pleasant steam warms the feet and softens the skin on the feet.

No compromises are made when it comes to safety and hygiene. The integrated backflow protection prevents excessively hot water from entering the steam circuit or splashing out. Thanks to the one-button water drain, the water tank can be emptied quickly and cleanly. The massage rollers are also easily removable and simple to clean.

All in all, a well thought out affair.

So what are you waiting for? Treat your feet to the oFlexiSpa wellness program. After all, they've been carrying you for almost your entire life.
