There are two types of foot massagers -Simple and Therapeutic.The simple ones just feel good with negligible health benefits but the therapeutic ones  provide the over all benefits of reflexology. Reflexology is a therapeutic method of relieving pain by stimulating predefined pressure points on the feet and hands. These pressure points serve as a circuit that connects the brain through all the vital organs.These controlled pressure points reduce the source of the discomfort and hence our body feels much more relaxed.

Some electric massagers completely ignore the foot and focus on calf muscles and some do the reverse. Hydro therapy foot massagers are best for joint pains and also good for the skin on the foot because of the moisturizing effect. But again not everyone has the patience to fetch water each time. Therfore foot cum calf massagers are best for people with hectic lifestyles.A foot cum calf massager is a high end model but doted by most users.
