Kogan Deluxe Shiatsu KAFMSDLSHIA Questions & Answers

hi, as per my review, I don't really recommend this due to design and low quality of manufacture but if your mother has heavy legs, she might feel some positive pressure and may get some improved circulation in the feet. Whether or not it helps the circulation further up the legs, I couldn't tell you. Being active, moving around, is the best thing for overall circulation. People stiffen up, decay and generally have a shorter life or less quality of life when they are not active. She may (or may not) feel some other benefits also as the soles of the feet are covered in accupressure points representing areas all over the rest of the body. I would recommend she use it twice a day - (the built-in timer only goes for 15min) - morning and night and try and move around for some hours during the day. But using it twice per day I would be surprised if it goes longer than one year. But that doesn't mean not to use it more. They do have a warranty. Hope that helps.

Hi Janet, Thank you for your question and your interest in purchasing from Kogan.com. While we advise that the infrared heat function can help ease muscle stiffness and tension, we're unable to advise regarding suitability from a medical standpoint.

We would encourage you to contact your GP and advise the product has that infrared heat function in addition to its roller massage design and see if it's right for you.

Yes, maybe so. My condition is quite simply old age (I turn 72 this year) and most probably over exercising. I use the massager to maintain flexibility in my legs - much like stretching before and after jogging. For that purpose the machine seems to be useful. For more serious medically diagnosed conditions, perhaps not. PS this Kogan massager is no longer selling for $38 but now cost $50 - still cheap compared to others.

Quite possibly - although I am by no means an expert on this - as it seems to have helped most people (that I know of anyway) with their foot and leg pains. Although it didn't do much for a friend with gout. For $38 it might be well worth a try for arthritiic sufferers.

Hi Ern, thank you for your enquiry. We would suggest consulting your local GP for advice on whether you should be using massagers on your hip after replacement surgery.
