Along with improving circulation, foot massage can reduce tension, swelling, anxiety, stress, and pain. Whether you have a medical condition or simply want to unwind and de-stress, a relaxing foot massage can be a valuable addition to your self-care routine.

There is a risk of side effects from reflexology, such as pain and bruising. The most common side effect is pain. This can occur if the pressure is too deep or if the person receiving the treatment is sensitive to touch. Bruising can also occur if the person receiving the treatment has fragile skin.

Using your electric foot massager 3 or 4 times a week can provide a plethora of health benefits and keep your body in top shape after the daily grind. If you prefer daily use, that's just fine, too! Be sure to stop if you should ever feel any pain or discomfort.

There are several reasons why foot reflexology might induce pain or discomfort, including sensitive reflex points, blockages and imbalances, existing health conditions, stress and tension, and deep tissue work.
