Rolling pin foot massager plan

The good features of these massagers are:

• light, compact size, portable. You can use them either at home or anywhere you go (office, gym…, just carry them around in your bag if you want to);
• ensure a proper circulation of the blood in your feet;
• relieve foot pain and tension;
• effective at treating heel spurs and plantar fasciitis;
• feet will feel massaged and remain relaxed  from tension or pressures at work or at home;
• the rollers can be either cooled in the fridge or heated in hot water for effective relief from aches and pain.

However, there are also some bad features about them:

• they are not intended for people with sensitive feet;
• they are intended for massaging one foot only, but this problem can be solved by making two pieces so you can massage both feet simultaneously;
• due to small pores in the wood, these massagers can retain moisture - it is advisable to wash them occasionally and allow them to dry well before storing away;
• they are quick and easy to make, but you must be equipped with a lathe.

All 3 massagers presented in this plan are similar, with the main difference being the shape of the nubs. In the drawings, for each massager you have an enlarged detail where you can see the above shape. The first model of the massager has nubs of trapezoidal shape, while the other two are rounded. Trapezoidal or triangular (i.e. ‘spiked’) nubs are recommended if you want to have deeper foot massage than it is the case when using cylindrical nubs. The precision of making the nubs is not too important - it is enough to find chisels in the workshop with which you can make nubs of approximate appearance and dimensions as in our plan. This set of three simple foot massagers can be of great help if you have some kind of heel or foot pain. Of course, one of these wooden rolling pins can also be just the perfect present for the pregnant ladies, since they tend to have feet swelling problems.

But the best usage of a rolling pin massager will have office workers, since their long working hours require a lot of sitting. They can hold the foot massager under the desk and role the sole of the feet for a few minutes each day. This will help better circulation, relax muscles and relieve the feet joints. And at the end of working day, each of these massagers can be taken home, because they fit in almost any bag. If you are engaged in the production of simple wooden objects and sell them at various fairs and exhibitions of handicrafts, this is the right product for you. In case  you do not dispose of a lathe, it might be better to order your rolling pin foot massager online or buy it at the fair.
