Best foot massagers to help with circulation and relaxation

This panel-controlled foot massager from RENPHO has arguably the sleekest design of all. With the touch of a button, you can get a foot massage with a 15 or 30-minute timer, combining air compression, foot reflexology and soothing heat therapy. We love that it has a number of different options and intensities so that every massage can be personalised and suits people looking for relaxation all the way through to training athletes. It also has a touch button control which can be operated by your feet so you don't have to bend down to operate it. Best of all, the RENPHO suits feet up to a UK size 12, which is also larger than most.

With over 18,000 reviews, this is a popular choice with customers on Amazon. People liked the firmness of the massage it provides and found that it effectively targeted their pressure points. Opinions are mixed on the heat settings of this massager, with some saying it's a bit lacklustre but others saying it's really good.

Immerse in its warm, bubbly embrace, enhancing blood circulation and rejuvenating tired muscles. It comes with a luxury pedicure kit, complete with multiple attachments, which elevates the pampering experience. With adjustable settings and removable rollers, every massage session is tailored to perfection.

This foot spa is a number one best seller in Amazon's electric foot massagers category, with 6,000 reviews and an average star rating of 4.4 stars out of five. Reviewers think it is great value for money and think it does a great job at making their feet feel relaxed and comfortable. They also say it is a little noisy though!

A slightly more industrial style of foot massager, the HoMedics device offers six rotating massage nodes and 18 massage heads on a portable board, which is big enough for up to size 12 feet. We love that you can also add a touch of heat to your massage using the hands-free controls, and it’s the perfect size for storing away when you’re done. It’s on an automatic 20-minute timer, so you don’t need to worry about being sat there for too long either, as tempting as it may be.

Although the HoMedics Shiatsu Foot Massager doesn’t win any points for style, it is praised by customers for the deep kneading settings and its heat feature for adding comfort. There are some customers who felt the massager’s intensity was too strong so we’d advise using it on the lowest setting to begin with and build up your tolerance.

The Snailax 2-in-1 Shiatsu Foot and Back Massager is a fantastic budget-friendly pick for anyone in need of a little relaxation. With its versatile design, it’s not just a foot massager as it doubles as a foot warmer, a back-heating cushion, and even a back massager! Whether your feet are aching after a long walk or your lower back needs a little TLC, this device has you covered.

Equipped with eight shiatsu rollers, the Snailax helps ease tension and provides gentle relief for sore feet. The heated shiatsu balls are an added bonus, stimulating circulation and offering comforting warmth. While it doesn’t have a kneading function, making it more of a light massage rather than deep tissue relief, it still provides a wonderful way to unwind.

Our Yours tester, Bridget, a lively 78-year-old who enjoys lawn bowls and family time, put the Snailax to the test. Bridget experiences swelling, tingling, and numbness in her feet, especially in warm weather, and was delighted to find that this massager made a real difference. “I’ve used it morning and night for six weeks, and after just a couple of weeks, my swelling improved. The tingling and numbness feeling in my feet has almost gone altogether which has been very beneficial to me” she shares. Bridget also found that it warms up quickly and that it doesn’t make much noise so it won’t interrupt your ability to hear conversation or what’s on the TV while using it.

For a simple, soothing, and affordable way to treat your feet (and back), the Snailax 2-in-1 is a winner. You just need to position it right, sit back and let it work it’s magic.

If your feet are crying out for relief after a long day, the H&S (H&S Alliance UK) Foot Massage Roller could be your new best friend. Designed to target arch pain, plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, and general foot fatigue, this simple yet effective roller works its magic without the need for batteries or power. Just roll your foot over the textured nubs, and you’ll instantly feel the benefits of deep-tissue massage and acupressure.

Our tester, a 52-year-old female who is a keen runner and walker, put it to the test and was pleasantly surprised. “It’s a simple product, ready to use straight out of the box. The instructions are clear, and for a low price, there’s nothing to lose by giving it a try.” She found it especially useful after road running and city walks, and her husband, who spends 12-hour shifts in steel-toe-capped boots, also felt relief, particularly in his high arches.

Lightweight and portable, this roller is a hit with athletes and anyone constantly on their feet. Whether you’re at home, in the office, or packing for a city break, it’s an easy, no-fuss way to ease foot tension in just 5–10 minutes a day.

Our tester thought that it was best suited purely as a foot massager as she found it more difficult to use on calves and glutes. However, its durable, ergonomic design makes it a handy tool for anyone with foot pain while out and about. Our tester rated it 5 stars, praising its effectiveness, affordability, and ease of use. If happy feet are your goal, this little roller is well worth a try!

If you’re looking for a solution to ease leg pain, improve circulation, and reduce muscle stiffness, the Revitive Essential Circulation Booster could be a game-changer. This medical device uses electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) to trigger muscle contractions, encouraging better blood flow and helping to relieve discomfort in the legs, which is perfect for those who spend long hours sitting or standing.

Our tester who is 55 years old and splits their time between working from home during the week and spending 7-8 hours on her feet in a store, put the Revitive to the test. They were struggling with significant leg pain and due to a medical condition, couldn't use topical pain relief gels. Instead, they had been relying on a handheld massager, a tedious and less effective alternative. Hoping for a better solution, they gave the Revitive a try.

The kit includes a foot plate with an LED display, adjustable intensity levels, a 30-minute countdown timer, and additional body pads for targeted relief. Our tester started on a low setting and initially felt a pins-and-needles sensation, followed by deep muscle contractions. The fluctuating intensity throughout the session made them feel like the device was really working.

After four weeks of consistent use, the difference was undeniable. Leg pain and stiffness had noticeably reduced - no more limping home or struggling with stairs. Even their sister, who suffers from poor circulation and night cramps, found relief after using it.

While it’s an investment, our tester highly recommends the Revitive for those dealing with poor circulation, leg pain, or stiffness. It’s an effective, hands-free way to get your legs feeling lighter, looser, and pain-free.
