It is difficult to convey in words the feeling in the legs after a long walk, especially in uncomfortable shoes. A relaxing hydromassage procedure will help relieve fatigue, puffiness, and restore blood circulation. The editors of the site "bestx.htgetrid.com/en/" have prepared for you a rating of the best hydromassage foot baths in 2020.

Types of hydromassage baths

Hydromassage baths are a universal device for carrying out healing procedures at home. Most of the models are made of specially processed plastic, have rubberized parts, accessories for massage and pedicure. Depending on the purpose, all devices are divided into four categories:

• with a therapeutic physiotherapeutic effect - intended for various types of massage, impact on the nerve endings of the feet, stimulation of blood flow. Equipped with sets of massage rollers for general and point effects.
• having a predominantly tonic effect - such devices perfectly relieve muscle tension, promote relaxation, and help fight cramps. A feature of this group is the possibility of using additional compounds that enhance the effect (salts, essential oils, herbal decoctions).
• contrasting - recommended for people prone to varicose veins. Water at a temperature of 20-25 and 45-55 degrees is fed into the working container in turn. Under the influence of directed jets of liquid with varying degrees of heating, the walls of blood vessels are strengthened, the risk of blood clots is reduced, and blood circulation is normalized. Regular use of such baths reduces the risk of developing varicose veins of the lower extremities, reduces swelling. Contrasting hardening baths can be used.
• cosmetic - help to prepare the feet for a pedicure. Deep cleaning of the skin is carried out using special attachments (brushes, pumice, abrasive graters).

Selection, adjustment, switching of operating modes can be carried out using mechanical rotary toggle switches or set by an electronic system. The first option is distinguished by ease of use, reliability and relatively low cost of the devices. The advantage of the second type of control is that the user can customize the operation of the device himself, create a combination of several modes with one-button start. Programs have been developed that provide for the sequential inclusion of different modes at a certain time interval or their simultaneous operation. The number of possible programs, depending on the model, varies from 2 to 10.

Additional equipment

The functionality of the hydromassage bath can be significantly expanded with a set of removable nozzles. They differ in form, purpose, material. The most common are:

• roller - cylindrical with an uneven surface. They are located in special fasteners at the bottom of the tank in pairs. To achieve a massage effect, you need to perform sliding movements with your feet, scrolling the rollers. Depending on the purpose, the surface may have small rounded projections or depressions, spikes with a flat, rounded, slightly pointed and forked tip, rubberized pads.
• ball - rotating drums with a massage surface.
• pumice - looks like a cake-basket, where instead of dough there is a plastic case, and instead of cream - coarse-grained pumice. There are models with rotating mounts that can change the angle of inclination.
• brush - designed for thorough hygienic foot care. It removes impurities well, exfoliates dry skin cells.
• a sponge or a loofah cushion is more of an accessory than a nozzle, since it is not fixed on the base. Designed for gentle but thorough skin cleansing and light exfoliation.

In more advanced models of hydromassage baths, devices are additionally built in that enhance the therapeutic effect. You can find devices equipped with:

• infrared emitter - produces infrared rays that have a thermal, general stimulating, analgesic effect. Penetrating deep into tissues, it accelerates blood circulation, helps to restore microtraumas of muscles and ligaments.
• ozonizer - disinfects and enriches water with oxygen.
• magnet - the magnetic field improves blood circulation, relieves the feeling of heaviness, swelling, pain.

6 rules of operation

In order for the device to serve as long as possible, it is important to follow six simple rules:

1. procedures are carried out only in a sitting position, structures do not support a person's weight;
2. it is important to pour a certain amount of water into the container (indicated in the instructions), most models have level markings on the walls for different modes;
3. you cannot use the device if there are wounds, ulcers on the skin;
4. it is possible to add essential oils and salts to water only if there is a corresponding indication in the instructions, otherwise the device will quickly fail;
5. the procedure lasts on average from 10 to 20 minutes, then you need to let the device rest for 15 minutes;
6. after each use, the container must be cleaned and disinfected, and it is not recommended to use too aggressive detergents.

When choosing a device for hydromassage, first of all, decide on the purpose of purchase. If only a relaxing effect is required, there is no point in overpaying for ozonation, magnets and a large number of attachments. But the function of heating the water will be very useful. You like to pamper your feet with trays with herbal decoctions or essential oils - be sure to check if they can be used in the model you like.

Pay attention to the protective shield. A narrow visor that does not fit well to the body will not cope with its functions and the floor will be flooded with splashes. It is also better to choose devices equipped with devices for convenient drainage of waste water.
