Foot Spas, Foot Baths, and Foot Massages: Treat your Feet Right
If you work in a job where you’re on your feet all day, particularly on tile or some other hard surface, you know how much your feet can suffer. A professional foot massage is the ultimate in luxury, but if you don’t have the time or budget for this, there are other options that can help you have happier feet.
A foot spa or foot bath is an affordable option. While they generally cost $30 to $50, it’s a one-time investment that you can enjoy over and over, particularly if you choose a model with a generous warranty. Some models, like the HoMedics Pedicure Spa Salon Foot Bath not only have massaging bubble action, but pedicure tools like a dry heel reducer, pumice, nail brush, and nail buffer.
Simpler foot baths without the tools, but with heat and bubbles, are available for under $25 if you shop around and compare prices. Many of these have hooded basins to avoid splashing water out, as well as textured bottoms, which feel great on aching feet.
But even if you don’t invest in a massaging foot bath, there’s always the old-school option of sitting on the bathroom vanity with your feet soaking in a sink full of nice, warm water, or perching on the edge of the tub and soaking your feet. Dry your feet with a nice, fluffy towel and massage in some lotion and your feet will thank you.
Foot spas and foot baths are great little luxuries for those who are on their feet all day, but don’t forget the importance of high quality, well-fitting footwear to keep those aches to a minimum.
