5 common mistakes to avoid when using a foot massager
Foot massages can be incredibly soothing, especially after a long day at work. Unfortunately, it’s not always possible to schedule a professional massage. In such cases, a foot massager can come in handy to help one unwind. Moreover, a foot massager is a convenient and cost-effective daily solution at home. However, one may make a few common mistakes while using a foot massager, and one should avoid them at all costs. Massaging for long While electric foot massagers can be very soothing, overuse or prolonged use can lead to discomfort and injury. For those new to using these devices, it is recommended to limit sessions to 10-15 minutes.
