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

Scholl Rolling Shiatsu Massager

Advantages: Portable, Ergonomic, Deep Massage
Disadvantages: Mains operated, Not good for small areas

...I bought this massager as I have been suffering neck pain, and sore shoulders/upper back. The 'rolling' massage action seemed like a good idea to get right deep into the tissue. On arrival, this massager seemed bigger than I expected, and slightly heavier than I thought it would be, However, due to its shape, its very easy to hold, and I found I could use it across my shoulders on my own without difficulty. The massage area of the item is covered in fabric. Underneath this lie 4 rounded discs, maybe 1 inch in diametre. When the unit is switched on, the balls under the fabric turn (roll) around. When you apply this to your chosen area, you can press the massager onto the skin for as much pressure as you like. However, you cannot press TOO hard, or the unit will automatically cut out. You have a dial on the end of the massager to...

Scholl Silly Slippy Party Feet

Advantages: no pain after lots of dancing or moving about
Disadvantages: Slips out or around the shoe or sandals

...Scholl Party Feet I bought these under recommendation of my cousin. She told me they were great to put in shoes and sandals and when I saw then at Bodycare I thought why not, I'll give these a try. The price They cost me £4 at Bodycare but I have seen them priced up to £7. Considering its only two bits of rubber to stick in your shoes they could be a bit cheaper but all footwear insoles are expensive so it's not too bad if they actually worked. There's only one pair per packet. The Packaging. It comes in a plastic package that you can do up again so you can store them in there when you're not using them. On the front It's got a picture of a high-heeled sandal on it with Party Feet in purple fancy lettering next to it. Under that, it says Invisible gel cushions. Help prevent the burning pain in the balls of your...

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...

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...

Socks That Could Save Your Life. (Scholl Flight Sock)

Advantages: Help prevent DVT
Disadvantages: Cost £12

...Scholl flight socks are a good purchase if you are flying, or indeed if you are going to be travelling in a car for any length of time. It's strange really because they are marketed as flight socks, but the condition of "Deep Vein Thrombosis" is also more common when any person remains inactive for long periods of time. Flying is a major risk factor, but there are many. So just for a moment I'll pop my nurse's hat and explain what "Deep Vein Thrombosis" or DVT is all about. If you are a driver and have ever been on the M6 north of Lancaster, at quiet times, you will appreciate the wide open 3 lane motorway and the ease of driving. It is pure pleasure and difficult to adhere to the speed limits, because the bottle necks of the Midlands and The North around Manchester are far behind you. This is what you want your blood system to be...

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

Sex and massage umm yummy

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

...a few minutes later he came back with a sweet smelling aroma following him, which I soon found out was massage oil. As he gently poured the warm oil onto my legs and back I was a little shocked as it hit my body, even though it wasn’t cold it was still a foreign substance. His hands worked their magic and as the oil rubbed into my soft skin I was transported to a world away from the everyday stress and strains. I could feel the tension being pushed out of me and my worries going away. I was as relaxed as I have ever been, and was only too happy to repay my bunny for his act of love and kindness. But that’s nothing to do with massage… Anyway let’s see a lot of people, me included, associate massage with sex, and well I don’t see anything wrong with that personally. I don’t think I have ever given...

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...
