HealKick EMS Foot Massager

The benefits of using HealKick include improved blood circulation, relaxation of tired muscles, relief from foot pain and discomfort, stress reduction, and could indirectly benefit conditions like plantar fasciitis.

However, if you have a specific medical condition, it's important to consult a healthcare professional before using our massager.

Yes, EMS technology is generally safe for use on the feet. EMS devices are designed to deliver low-level electrical impulses to stimulate muscles, causing them to contract and relax. This can provide a massaging effect and potentially offer benefits like improved circulation, relaxation, and relief from muscle discomfort.

However, we advise you to consult with a healthcare professional if you have any underlying medical conditions before using our foot massager.

An individual's cleaning methods can vary, but some things you can do to keep your HealKick clean include:

1. Wipeable Surface: The surface of the mat that comes into contact with your feet is wipeable. You can use a damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean the surface.
2. Avoid Moisture: It's important to prevent excessive moisture from getting into the mat's electrical components. Avoid using excessive water, and ensure that the mat is completely dry before using it again.
3. Regular Maintenance: Regularly wiping down the surface after each use can help prevent the buildup of dirt, oils, and sweat.
4. Storage: When not in use, store the mat in a dry and clean place. You can even fold it to save space!
5. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on the mat, as they might damage the materials or affect the electrical components.

Our mats are primarily designed for use while sitting or lying down. When using EMS technology for foot massage, it's generally more comfortable and effective to use the mat while seated or in a relaxed position.

Here's why:

1. Comfort: EMS foot stimulation can cause muscle contractions, which might affect your balance and stability if you're standing. Using the mat while seated allows you to relax and enjoy the massage without the risk of losing your balance.
2. Relaxation: The goal of an EMS foot massage is to promote relaxation and relief. Sitting or lying down helps you fully relax your muscles and enjoy the massage experience.
3. Safety: Using EMS technology while standing could potentially increase the risk of muscle strain or discomfort. It's safer to use the mat in a controlled environment where you can maintain proper posture.
4. Consistency: When using our mat, consistent and controlled contact with the electrodes is important for effective stimulation. Achieving this is easier when you're seated.

While you can technically stand while using HealKick, it's not the recommended or optimal position for this type of massage. To get the best results and ensure your safety and comfort, it's advisable to use the mat as intended – while sitting or lying down.
