Electric Foot Massagers can offer many benefits. I used the Advanced Electro Reflex Energizer for years, and unfortunately, it is no longer available. After searching, I have found several foot massagers that appear to offer similar benefits and utilize both TENS and EMS, which is what makes them so effective. I always like to look at the body to promote an energetic balance. When we don’t feel well, blockages are usually created, impeding the flow of energy. This energy flow also applies to our nervous system, which relies upon electrical signals. When you stimulate or communicate with our nervous system via TENS and EMS, you can open up the flow of energy and regain balance. The science behind TENS and EMS can help you restore foot comfort, particularly if you are experiencing foot-related issues.
What is TENS
TENS stands for Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation. It is a therapy used for relieving pain. Utilizing low-voltage electrical currents to stimulate the nerve fibers and reduce your body’s perception of pain. It can do this because it blocks pain signals to your brain. These currents are delivered through the skin using electrodes in the form of electro pads. It is very safe and effective. When targeting large muscle groups or the feet, TENS helps alleviate discomfort from various conditions, including plantar fasciitis, tendinitis, and neuropathy. TENS is powerful for pain relief and is often used in pain management. It is a non-invasive procedure that can relieve pain without the need for medication. Most TENS applications can adjust the intensity.
What is EMS
EMS stands for Electrical muscle stimulation. This is a neuromuscular electrical stimulation that generates impulses to induce muscle contractions. It is widely used in rehabilitation. It helps improve muscle strength, reduce atrophy, and aids in recovery. When utilizing EMS in a foot massager to promote foot health, it can target the muscles in your lower legs and feet. It will improve circulation and relaxation as well as relieve pain, including soreness after exercise. EMS devices often come with customizable settings, allowing users to target specific areas.
For happier feet and to relieve pain and promote circulation and muscle recovery, EMS and TENS are very popular options, especially for those dealing with foot-related issues. Thank goodness for electric foot massagers.
EMS and TENS Foot Massagers
Both of the following foot massagers offer the benefits of EMS and TENS. Both are FSA/HSA eligible and FDA Approved.
They both offer similar benefits of improving neuropathy, promoting circulation and relaxation, and relieving pain. Both include TENS Pads to target large muscle groups and provide various modes.
Foot Massager for Neuropathy has gotten really good reviews.
