Targets Different Areas
Massagers use deep-kneading rollers to stretch the ligament connecting your heel to your toes.
Massagers with air compression are specifically designed for the ankles.
They provide a rhythmic "squeeze and release" motion that acts like a pump, moving stagnant fluid away from the ankle and back into the circulatory system.
Shiatsu nodes applies vertical pressure to redistribute the weight and stress on the metatarsal bones.
The massager use vibration and gentle squeezing to help "spread" the toes, which relieves the cramping caused by muscles being locked in a tight position all day.
The air compression in the massager squeezes the top of the foot against the bottom rollers.
