Whirlpool for the feet - what is it?

Hydromassage foot bath is designed for massage of feet and feet. This is a household appliance that is used at home. The tray is a bowl, divided in the middle by a partition, working from the mains. The whirlpool is called because all procedures are performed using water. However, there are also home foot baths that can work without liquid. But first things first.

Why do I need a whirlpool?

Hydromassage baths are a kind of SPA-procedure, which is quite feasible at home. They are able not only to provide pleasure and relieve fatigue from the feet after a tiring working day, but also at the same time have the feasible anti-stress and therapeutic effect.

The whirlpool bath will be an excellent gift for pregnant women, the elderly, as well as for those who spend most of the time or constantly on their feet: sales consultants, couriers, waiters, barmen, hairdressers, factory workers (conveyors, machine operators) and many others . If the feet are extremely sensitive and prone to calluses and corns, the foot bath with hydromassage will also be an excellent tool in dealing with these troubles. Reviews of the results of such cosmetic procedures account for almost half of all the positive comments left on the forums devoted to the pedicure. In addition, whirlpools have a fairly low price: 2-3 procedures at a cost will be equal to a hike in the spa salon or foot massage.

The hydromassage bath combines several positive effects at once: active action on nerve endings and stimulation of circulation in the legs, removal of pain, lowering of tension, strengthening of blood vessels, improving sleep, promoting increased metabolic rate, strengthening immunity. And adding aromatic oils to the bath, you can also spend an aromatherapy session.

Types of hydromassage baths

Hydromassage baths can have a different set of functions and the principle of action. In connection with this conditionally, they can be divided into several large groups:

- Contrasting;

- cleansing;

- toning;

- medical.

The most popular are tonic baths for feet with hydromassage. Customer testimonials indicate their modest dimensions and relatively low cost.

Contrast baths

These trays act on the feet with jets of water of different temperatures. Due to the contrast "shower" the circulation of blood in the legs improves. Such baths are used in both relaxing and therapeutic purposes.

Cleansing Trays

The foot massager of this type is additionally equipped with massage brushes and rollers. During the procedure, the feet are exposed not only to the action of water - at the same time, the particles of flaky skin and dirt are removed from their surface.

Toning trays

Toning baths are good for relaxing the muscles of the legs and removing swelling. In this bath is added a special aromatic oil.

Therapeutic baths

As the name suggests, this foot massager is used for therapeutic and preventive purposes. The effect is achieved by massage of various intensity, as well as the impact on the feet using an acupuncture method.

Functions of the whirlpool baths

How to choose a foot bath? First of all, it is worth paying attention to its functionality. The more extensive it will be, the more useful the bath will bring. However, it is not necessary at all to overpay for the heaped up technique, which later will not justify itself. Hydromassage trays have (or can have) the following options:

1. Hydromassage is the main and obligatory function. The water in the tank moves along the specified path, massaging and relaxing the legs. You can set the flow tempo using a certain mode.
2. Vibromassage. Depending on the model, the whirlpool can have different types of bottom. If the simple devices are completely smooth, then other models have a raised bottom or special rollers that help to further massage the feet. The bottom of the tub can be actuated either mechanically or by electricity. In the first case, you have to drive your feet on the rollers yourself. In the second - for the user it will make the bath itself - when the function is turned on, the bottom begins to vibrate very noticeably.
3. Jacuzzi. Massage is carried out with the help of directed water jets and the formation of bubbles. However, this option greatly influences the noise level of the bath with hydromassage. Reviews about such devices are very controversial - the owners like the effect produced by the jacuzzi, but not everyone is satisfied with loud enough buzz.
4. Infrared illumination. Radiation promotes easy heating of the feet and increases the speed of circulation in the legs due to the expansion of the vessels.
5. Magnetic therapy. Another additional function, whose action is directed to the removal of fatigue in the legs and their maximum relaxation. Most often, the magnets are located in the lower part of the bath with hydromassage. Feedback on this function is useful for those who suffer from varicose veins.
6. Heated water. This option helps maintain the fluid temperature at a certain level throughout the procedure. This is quite convenient, since there is no need to interrupt the massage session for the constant pouring of hot water into the bath.
7. Possibility of massage without water. This function is a prerogative, as a rule, quite expensive models. In addition, dry massage on an amateur - some it may seem unpleasant or ticklish.
8. Timer and display. The ability to adjust the time of the session is suitable for forgetful people, as well as for those who are often distracted during the procedure or even fall asleep. The display shows the time and mode in which the foot bath with hydromassage is currently working. Customer testimonials indicate that these seemingly superfluous, later turn out to be quite useful.
9. Remote. With it, you can switch the time and modes, without bending to the bath itself.
10. Pedicure. Most often this function is represented as a set of different removable attachments. The pedicure tray with hydromassage can include brushes of different sizes, grinding caps, pumice, and peeling tips. Typically, the pedicure tray is additionally equipped with a protective cap.

Many whirlpools, regardless of the included function, can work in different modes - from intense enough to barely noticeable, relaxing. Also, before choosing a foot bath, it will be superfluous to ask whether it is possible to add anything else besides water - the massage session will be much more pleasant and effective if combined with aromatherapy or salt baths.
