Does this come in contact with the arches? I have high arches and some "flat" massagers don't even touch the arch

Oh yeah! This is not a flat system, it has metal balls that rotate both ways, you place your feet anywhere and all over moving your feet up, down sideways, etc. It does pulse upwards, you shouldn't have a problem. It really is a nice unit.

Yes you can position your feet on the balls of the unit to intensify the massage on different areas of your feet. Works well.

Yes, i have many people who are using them successfully. It depends on how far the bunion has formed. It's definitely not a quick fix. You are trying to re educate your feet, and learn how to properly distribute your weight so when you walk your weight distributes more on the outside arch. Ideally you could find a good body worker. Bunions sometimes start because of the way your legs are distributing the weight in to your feet. These are lines of force that need to be redistributed. And then of course the kinds of shoes you wear are incredibly important. I hope this helps. John William Johnson, licensed massage therapist

I think it's a placement thing. You can move the insert around in your shoe to where your arch needs the support. I have bought sets for even my sandals, and glued them on.

This will benefit you for that purpose because it has three levels of arch. It come with two arch support trigger point and the flat.. I love this thing and for the price you cant beat that. Hope this could help you.

Yes, it comes with low, medium and high, and it also has a 'massaging insert,' I've only been using the low one since I've bought this though.

Sorry, not sure about high arches. I use them for plantar facitis, but do not have high arches.

I sent mine back .. never even plugged it in. When we put our legs into it we couldn't pull the upper section up for knee/thigh massage. You are supposedly able to do separate areas of massage, but we never got to try. I also wrote a review if you want to check it out.

I had one that did, but they returned it for another one.. I did come to find that you can easily adjust the massage probe manually

no it does not roll on the sides of your feet. with the pressure on 5, you will get quite the massage and it may relieve the side pain tho.

No, the moving/massaging components are all located on the bottom of the feet only. The foot compartments do squeeze the entire foot though which includes the top of the feet.

Yes, although it isn't ideal. If you put your feet in the middle it squeezes them really hard and hurts, but you can rest them on top of the rollers. You have to work to keep them in place, though. I wouldn't buy it as a foot massager, but it works in a pinch.

Yes it does but, I suggest you take it a little at a time. My hubby went all the way and got pretty sore. He has found a lesser degree of feet above head to work wonders for him. It's a good sturdy contraption that will last for many years.

The head does tilt to accommodate heights and the center wand that comes out helps this cause as well. There isn't a firm spray that can massage, at least not in my opinion.

I have pain in the heel also but it is all associated with your arch of your foot where your fascia takes off and attaches to your heel. It supports it good but it isn't going to take the pain away.

High heals or pumps should not penetrate this garage matt material at all. You really have to try really hard to puncture this matt. We walk on this matt with all different kinds of shoes.

Yes it does. It is easier to use it on the machine itself than to use the remote (which does not really work). But the massager itself is really awesome! I wear really high heels all the time. Wow, what a difference it has made. So much less pain. Love it.

Hi Aug. I have to say that I really like my massager (MCS-510H). My principal problem is mid-back, however---it does just what I need there. For lower back it will do the same thing---that is, sort of roll around the area---not just up & down. But that area is more boney and the massage just doesn't go deep enough to do a really good job. That said, I don't think any of the chair-style massagers will do better. One thing I really do appreciate is its ability to concentrate on one area (low, for instance)---and then you can also "spot" massage by pressing up or down buttons to put it right where you need it. All in all, I think its damn good for the price. Tom Hi Aug. I have to say that I really like my massager (MCS-510H). My principal problem is mid-back, however---it does just what I need there.
