Introducing the Reflex5s Foot and Calf Massager
The Human Touch® Reflex5s Foot and Calf Massager is the perfect fusion of state-of-the-art technology and the ancient healing art of massage, emulating techniques used by professional massage therapists. It's designed to be a key ingredient for a balanced life, bringing therapeutic benefits right into your home.
Our Targeted Relief products deliver therapy to the body's most stressed muscles and joints, offering unparalleled relaxation and rejuvenation, along with measurable health and wellness benefits.
The Reflex5s incorporates CirQlation®, a life-like massage technology delivering the latest in robotic foot and calf massage. It uniquely features patented Figure-Eight® Technology, a robotic mechanism that massages calves in an upward, rolling, or wave-like motion. This Figure-Eight movement soothes sore calves and rejuvenates tired feet, improving circulation by forcing blood away from the feet and toward the body's core.
The massager also integrates reflexology, a popular holistic and complementary therapy that benefits general health and relieves stress and pain in other parts of the body.
To ensure you utilize all features safely and effectively, please read this manual carefully.
