The Heldson brand foot massage roller arrived for our test in a typical shipping box, so it was easy to open by removing the adhesive strip and was delivered undamaged.
The box contained the packaging with the foot massage roller. Unfortunately, plastic was used in the packaging to prevent soiling. In this case, the product was completely protected and the foot massage roller was therefore in perfect condition.
Unfortunately, the packaging of the product is not completely recyclable.
The first impression is very good, as neither the product nor the packaging used was damaged.

The foot reflexology zone card and digital booklet included in the delivery mean that you can really target any health problems. The feet feel really light and comfortable after use.
