Handmade Wooden Foot Massager<\/a><\/p>\n

Research<\/h5>\n

I\u2019ve always been interested in a lightweight, mobile foot massager. I can have it at work when I know I\u2019m wearing shoes just for looks or I can have it at home after a full day of running around. I saw this product on the UncommonGoods website and thought \u201cthis looks workable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Business as usual.<\/p><\/div>\n

Hypothesis<\/h5>\n

From basic observation I could see the different striations on this instrument will provide not only relief to pressure points by a general method (e.g. two small balls in a dish) but doing so in a tailored manner. It should cater to the shape of the user\u2019s feet taking into consideration that pressure points differ from person to person.<\/p>\n

But… what’s that? A surreptitious massage?!<\/p><\/div>\n

Experiment<\/h5>\n

As soon as I got the foot massager, I tried it\u2014at work! At first it was very ticklish. But as I kept moving my feet back and forth and applying a little more pressure, it was heavenly. These rollers attending to all the nerves on my foot bottom, the incisions and ridges provided instant relief. I use it as my 5-minutes escape when I need to unwind from a tough workload or task. I\u2019m using it right now! The foot massager gained much attention from other team members and they expressed their willingness to try it after my feedback.<\/p>\n

…and a peek behind the scenes!<\/p><\/div>\n

Conclusion<\/h5>\n

This was a hit. It\u2019s like having a little bit of the spa routine at work.<\/p>\n
