Abstract

A foot massager adapted to hold a fluid that may be deposited from above onto a user's feet including a housing having a foot supporting floor and walls extending upwardly therefrom to form a basin and adapted to hold a fluid. There may be a fluid transport device disposed within the housing and being operatively connected to a fluid inlet disposed in the basin. A pump may be used in the fluid transport device to dispose the fluid out of a fluid outlet to a place disposed above and spaced a distance from the floor of the basin. The fluid outlet and the floor defines a foot receiving space there between whereby the fluid exiting the fluid outlet falls through the foot receiving space and into the basin. There may be a fluid distributor which allows the fluid to fall in a uniform layer to create a waterfall effect.
