Nekteck Shiatsu Foot Massager with Heat

My Experience: A Teacher's Savior

Standing in front of a whiteboard for six hours a day destroys your feet. By Friday afternoon, my arches usually feel like they are on fire. I bought the Nekteck massager on a whim during a sale, and it has become the most important part of my evening routine.

The "shiatsu" nodes dig deep. It’s not a gentle tickle; it helps work out the knots in your soles. The heat function takes about five minutes to warm up, but once it does, it’s incredibly soothing. I sit there grading papers with my feet in this thing, and for 15 minutes, the stress just melts away.

Does it help Plantar Fasciitis?

I've dealt with mild plantar fasciitis for years. While this isn't a medical cure, the compression combined with the rolling nodes stretches out the fascia significantly better than I can do with a tennis ball. The air compression squeezes your whole foot, which feels fantastic for circulation after a long day of standing still.
