What are you buying?
1. Electrical stimulations
While most foot massagers rely on kneading or vibrations to relax the feet and improve blood circulation, the Heartline Electromagnetic Wave Foot Massager uses electrical pulses. The pulses, which are completely safe, are targeted at various points of your feet. The pulses work to reduce muscular tension, combat soreness and boost blood circulation.
Note that these are not electrical shocks and should not be confused as such. It is completely safe as long as you follow all the instructions and guidelines in the user manual.
2. Multiple massage modes and intensities
You can choose from different massage modes to create a personal experience. There are a total of 25 modes to choose from, each delivering a different kind of stimulation to your feet and body. Some of the modes available are acupuncture, squeezing, massage, thumping, body shaping and hammering. If you are not sure which massage mode is best, set it to automatic.
The Mode+ and Mode- button is used to cycle through modes 1 to 25. You will also notice Sole+ and Sole- buttons. These are used to increase or decrease the intensity of the massage. Experiment with different intensities until you find the right one for you.
3. Remote control
There is no need to keep bending over to change a setting on the unit. With the included remote control, it is easy to control the massage while relaxed. Just in case the remote control ceases working, there are manual buttons on the unit that you can also use.
4. Electrode pads
This is a foot massage but can also be used to reduce pain and soreness on other points of the body. When you open the package, you will find two large electrode pads. These are connected to the main unit to deliver electrical stimulation to other parts of the body such as your back, waist or knees. Use the Body+ or Body- buttons to change the intensity of pulses delivered to the electrode pads.
How easy is it to use?
Despite the high tech nature of the Heartline foot massager, it is surprisingly easy to use. You may be confused about all the buttons and options when you first use it but you will be at ease with it in no time.
All the buttons are easily indicated and an LCD screen on the massager helps you keep track of all the settings. The accompanying manual explains everything clearly, including troubleshooting and safety.
The only usage issue I noted was the remote control. Several users have complained that the remote can be troublesome to use at times. If you have a similar problem, be sure to contact the seller for advice or replacement.
What accessories are included?
The remote control comes with batteries already included so no need to buy other immediately. No other accessories are included.

Dear Stella
I have purchased a Heartline Foot Massager, main problem I am sure is the operator, 78 year young male who is not very IT compatible! I think I understand the mode settings but not grasping the level of intensity required? I think I have plantar fasciitis in my left heel apart from the fact that my right leg/foot/hip is past it`s sell by date, due to playing soccer into my 40`s and also selling/lifting relatively heavy machines into my late 50`s which seemed a good idea at the time. Can you offer any help/advice regarding intensity setting as the operators manual does not specify a number.
Kind Regards

Good article Stella.
We are old age pensioners and used the Electromagnetic Wave Foot Massage today for the first-time.
We both used it on auto for 30 minutes. I have broken both legs eight times and I could only go to intensity 15. At that level I could feel it working on the area where I still have plates and screws in my legs.
After just one 30 minutes usage I felt relief. My wife went to intensity 50 that would have blown me, out of my chair.
We will be using it every day.
Thanks for your review.

I have just purchased the Heartline foot massager and used it once but can someone tell me if I am supposed to feel these different modes? I have had the mode setting on 25 and the foot level on 50 but I can’t feel anything and I have pretty normal feet. Just wondering if the machine is faulty, or I’m not setting it up properly. Advice please.
Regards
Mary
Hi. I’m quite happy with mine, but after almost a year, I am still unable to find somewhere where I can get an instruction manual. Intensity and time are OK but I haven’t got a clue what the different programs are. Can anyone help me out. An emailed copy would do. Ta.
Dear Stella,
I have just bought the above machine to improve my foot circulation but I cannot tell if the machine works because there is no sensation in the way that TENS machines work. How can I tell if the electronic wave is actually working?
Where can I get an instruction manual ?
Thank you
severe cramps in feet and legs and bad arthritis in feet and ankles, can I use this more than once a day
