Just vibration + heat - various levels of both vibration & heat - Have had several types of foot massagers and this is the best we have had. Had a reflexology one just prior to this one and was one of the worst we have ever had - - plain discomfort ! ! Hope this answers your ? ?

If you sit at the machine without moving your feet, it only vibrates and /or heats. While you move your feet over the raised knobs you can practice reflexology. Your feet and hands can benefit from the choice of vibrations and intensities of infra red heat. If you can't move your extremities nor think of how to be creative with your movements, you need to buy a book about reflexology and it's use. Much better than a pricey treatment at the spa but you must be flexible with your useage of the massager! Try moving your feet and hands to imitate kneading! Experiment with the different levels of massage. Don't merely "ride" it! It has many virtues not explained in the manual.

Vibration only. Stopped working after I'd had it only 3 days. Would not recommend!

No, I use hot water to fill the basin. There is no massage. But your feet will will feel light and tingly when you're done.

it was a gift for my dad so I don't use it but he says the massage is really more like a vibration. I don't think it is that great unfortunately :/

I have had this divice a few years, you can operate it separately to a degree, the manual is very helpful. I started having numbness, pain, and tingling in my legs after a surgery which seemed unrelated to my legs, however there was some nerve damage, however this gadget is awesome for basic issues to major issues like mine. I don't know how I would make it without it. The foot massage portion is very strong so wear really thick socks if you have problems with your feet like I do with the severe numbness I have. Good luck, I hope you like it as much as I have the last 3 years.

I didn't. This massager is awesome, we use it daily and it's the best foot massager I've purchased.

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.

If you mean different types of massaging. The answer is yes. There is massage, knead and I believe 2 other means of massage.

You feel some presure that comes and goes it is a nice massage and in 20 minutes your blood circulation will get benefits, if you want o need a strong massage or vibration this boots are not for you, with this you get a soft but effective massage for healthy legs.

Yes. But the roller only locates at center part (1/3) of the feet. So if you want to get massaged on the whole foot, you need to move forward and backward. I think that is part of the reason the price is only 1/3 of OSIM uSqueez.

The Foot Vibration Massager comes with a remote inclusive with the purchase price!

No it does not massage the top of your feet. The air pressure actually gives the top of my feet a good feeling.

It's a kneading massage. There are cheaper ones available that vibrate, but I really don't recommend them.

Hi, I just got this question in my email box, so don't know if this will help. The Thumper is amazing. It really helps with my pain in minutes. I haven't tried any of the homedics massagers. A friend had the Thumper, tried it, and loved it. Good luck, hope you find something.

It has massage areas however their is not a general massage built into the foot rests. The bubbles do provide some stimulation and/or massage.I would say it has but many will not consider this right

For deep tissue massage on the feet, it's the best on the market probably.For the Calves, it's ok, but there's no rollers like with the feet, just squeezing from airbags.

It rolls, massaging your feet. It works the sole and the top of them. It also has a heat option. I love it!

Yes...it vibrates...however, when I saw all these options I thought it was more massage options, possibly different massages, but it basically vibrates at like 4 speeds, and you can choose the vibrating area...that's the options...mine never leaves the highest setting and the person I bought it for said it wasn't at all what they thought it would be
