Acctually i'm not afford to get the massage chair or the one which massage whole leg, saw a forumer selling a used Ogawa plus foot massager.The important thing is the massager should improve blood circulation etc..for legs.

Here's the link for the massager i'm considering to buy:

um... did you read the article you posted?







sry going off topic, just wanted to make sure were all on the same page here.

back on topic, try going to the ogawa show room and try it there, if its a relatively new model and is still being produced they should have a showroom unit that you can try. if it feels good and whatnot and you feel its worth the money, then buy it.

this one highly not recommended

Cons

1) ppl with hypertension cannot use..
2) your legs will feel numb after use..
3) sometimes that thing shake so much that you can feel it in your stomach/chest..you get that breathless feeling...

......get this one instead...

heh the best leg/foot massage is from a person than machine... I've got one of those ogawa foot machines and it is no where comparable to a person massaging the foot. The thing is, for me anyway, the best posture for foot massage is when you are not putting any weight on the sole, i.e. you have your leg on up horizontal on a chair, then massaging the sole while you are at full rest would have the best effect. This cannot be achieved by a machine.

So this things are useLess?

I'd rather have a penis massager.

you got 2 free at birth. economic and fun at the same time woohoo

My folks are using Ogawa foot massage and a arm, shoulder, back massage. This morning I try the foot massage, is like no feel at all. I prefer to go to those foot massage centre, strong massage that will make you moan!

actually hv u think b4 does the thing worth for wat it cost? like a chair cost over 10k, can pay downpayment for a house.

i know my place got some old folks they will build a small little road about 30~50m long and 1m wide with the surface come out of those round shaped rock (no sharp rock!) and they will walking on top of those home made road, up and down. So i think that is equal to foot massanger or blood circulation something like that.

That thing really works,atleast we can feel.Even doctors recomending to walk on the batu sungai.

after those foot massages, my foot ended up itchy ...
