Lots of massaging bubbles leaving very tingly feet

Advantages: Really relaxing with lots of bubbles for a prefect massage
Disadvantages: Attachments don't work as well as they could do

...I thought I would do a hands on (or rather feet on) review of this product. So I am sat here on the sofa writing while my feet are soaking and being massaged. I got this foot spa for Christmas a few years ago and have only used it a few times. I have really horrible feet with lots of dry skin and often ache if I am on them for too long. I think that is why my Mum bought it for me, to try and help my tired feet. So, I will start from the beginning. It comes in a large box with a handle, which I think is very useful as I keep it in the box in the bottom of my wardrobe and often need the help of the handle to yank it out. The foot spa is a large bowl that is separated down the middle so that there is a section each side for your feet. It also has a splash guard over the front to avoid any spills on the carpet. In the middle...

Review of Scholl Deluxe Aromatherapy Massaging Foot Spa

The effects of massage

Advantages: Brilliant when given by a skilled person
Disadvantages: If they arent skilled, it can be horrid!!!

...Given the right person, a massage can be a wonderful experience. Skilled massage can range from highly expensive private clinics to free treatment on the NHS by physiotherapists. Before running off to pay for a massage, there are a few situations where a massage is not suitable. These include flare ups of pathological conditions, skin infections that could spread, over an open wound or upto the first 4 days over bruising, over a possible malignancy as it could increase the blood supply to the cancer. It is also inappropriate to massage over skin or tissue damage such as burns or skin grafts as the skin could peel off, and directly over a fracture site until they are clinically healed. The main effects of massage are: -relaxation -decreased muscle spasm -decreased perception of pain by providing an alternative stimuli and also...

Homedics Sqush Massaging Foot Pillow

Advantages: keeps your feet warm, comfortable foot rest
Disadvantages: massage function just vibrates and feels nasty

...I thought I?d review this Homedics Sqush Massaging Foot Pillow but was a bit surprised to see a picture of the neck cushion. Mine was a present and I was nicely pleased when I got it. I?m on my feet a lot and sometimes they ache The foot pillow is a dark blue fabric with a peachy , fleecy feel. The fabric is a high denier nylon-spandex blend fabric which feels pleasant to the touch. The pillow is approx 12 in x 15 in (I can?t locate a tape measure at the moment; I?ll update this as soon as I find it). It has 2 foot sleeves you slip your feet into. It is filled with tiny micro-sized expanded polystyrene balls, a bit like a bean bag but the balls are so small you don?t really feel them. The fabric pillow is pretty well stuffed although there is enough give so your feet settle comfortably into it. It also retains its shape well...

Indian Head Massage

Advantages: Very relaxing, beneficial to health
Disadvantages: Hair may look greasy afterwards

...~ What is Indian Head Massage? ~ Indian Head Massage originated, as it's name suggests, in India over a thousand years ago. The origin of shampoo comes from a Hindi word 'champi'. Being 'champi-ed' meant having your head massaged. It began as the way to keep your long hair in beautiful condition and has become a part of daily life. IHM can ease headaches and stress as well as helping to deal with scalp and hair problems. It aids localised blood and lymphatic circulation, relieves eyestrain, boosts the immune system, relieves muscle tension, and helps restore joint movement. They can also relieve tension, fatigue, insomnia, headaches, migraine and sinusitis. ~ Why do I have regular Indian Head Massages? ~ In the months leading up to my driving test and my January A-Level exams I started having frequent migraines. I used to get...

Review of Indian Head Massage

** I Always Put My Foot In It **

Advantages: Good to wear before any pain starts.
Disadvantages: Expensive, not effective after pain has already started. Unattractive.

...feet. The fast pace mixed with heat and high heels had got the friction going all right! I almost couldn?t bear to take another step. But even if I wasn?t going to make it to the sandwich bar I still had to get back to work!!! Anyway, I was heading for Boots anyway for something else and I hobbled over to the foot care section hoping for some quick light relief while my friends were ordering for me. I never realised just how many foot soles, pads, magic creams there were especially for us with high heels! I?m glad I?m not the only one! I didn?t want to use the ?gel? pads that you put at the bottom of your shoes that are supposed to give you relief from painful feel as these just make my feel slip and slide around. So, I really needed something to work. I went for the brand name as I hoped it would work instantly to relive the pain...

Review of Scholl Ball of foot cushions

Sex and massage umm yummy

Advantages: boosts energy levels, relaxing
Disadvantages: costly if done professionally, best with a partner

...) moving upwards towards the scalp. Repeat the stroke. Then massage the muscular bit at the base of your neck (I love this being done) in a circle and I like a lot of pressure on this part. End by rubbing the scalp a little, just to complete the whole experience. - Lower back On the floor, bed, sofa or where ever lay down and let a partner send you into a state of pleasure. Rub in circles to both sides of the spine and then up and down the lower back, pushing the skin. Concentrate on the hips as well. Lean into the stroke to increase the pressure. - Feet Unfortunately my other half has something against feet and refuses to do mine, which is a shame, I therefore have to do them myself as best I can. Rub the full length of the foot, then play with the toes a little, pushing on them, rub between the toes and finally rub the ankle...

Review of Massages

Relaxation with Indian Head Massage

Advantages: Excellent at relieving many medial symptoms
Disadvantages: None

...I have written about stress and depression and now for the next few opinions I will talk about different alternative therapies that you can try in order to elevate or reduce the symptoms of these particular conditions. These alternative therapies can also be used for other conditions or simply just for enjoyment, so the opinions will be suitable for all audiences. Indian Head Massage History Well as the name implies the origin of this therapy is as it implies from India. The therapy dates back over 4000 years and although it has been adapted over this time from just the head and hair to include the back neck and shoulders the basic principles have remained the same. It is known in India as ?Champissage? and it used to be practiced by family members all seated behind one and another and massaging the person in fronts head...

Review of Indian Head Massage

Have a relaxing body massage

Advantages: loads
Disadvantages: none I am aware of

...Massage is probably the oldest and simplest of medical treatments. Over two thousand years ago a greek physician said "rubbing can bind a joint that is too loose and loosen a joint that is too rigid". Everyone enjoys a massage.From babies to the elderly, from sportsmen and women to friends and lovers, all can benefit from this powerful form of communication. An effective aid to relaxation, massage helps smoothe away stress, unknotting tense and aching musles, relieving headaches and helping sleep problems.But it's also invigorating:it improves the bodys fuctions and promotes healing. By mastering a few simple techiques and sequences, you will learn the art of touch.Below are a few moves: Effleurage, describes long, soothing stroking movements using the flat of the hand(or fingers if working on small areas.) These are often...

Review of Massage

Qigong Massage

Advantages: packed full with techniques and information; a serious well presented resource
Disadvantages: some may find it pricey (although not if you remember the almost 4 hours viewing time!)

...I have recently returned to old interests, taijiquan and qigong, mainly for health reasons. Having lived in China a number of years ago, I was witness there to incredible demonstrations of physical prowess, strength and agility by people of a euphemistic 'certain age', and had been told at the time that this was due to their training in qigong / taiji. I have now joined a tajiquan course which is quite good, but I find the explanations (I like to know the why of the how, if you know what I mean...) lacking. I therefore decided to investigate theory and method and happened upon the YMAA and Dr Yang Jwing Ming's collection of most helpful, most detailed, most interesting books and DVDs. The Qigong Massage DVD is the first I bought, after some internal deliberation, as I thought almost £20 for a DVD was a lot of money. I must...

Review of Qigong Massage (DVD)

Come on in, the water's lovely!

Advantages: Very easy to ue, very realxing, eases tired feet and swollen ankles
Disadvantages: None at all

...the addition of a spa in her bath might just be a little too much for to handle. We therefore decided to compromise and this year my brother and myself clubbed together and bought her a Babyliss Body Benefit Rainfall Foot Spa Relaxing Foot Massager. Probably not very original, I know, but nan thought it was the best thing since sliced bread, and the look on her face on Christmas morning when she opened it was pure delight! She was over the moon and exclaimed that her friend Ruby's daughter-in-law had bought Ruby one just like it the Christmas before last. Nan said she's always wanted one and asked my dad to set it up straight away - before she'd even opened up the rest of her presents. Dad got to work setting up the foot spa and carefully read the little instruction manual beforehand that came with it. The advantage of this particular...
