A bad health situation of the feet affects and can prohibit physical activity, which is especially problematic to people suffering from diabetes and obesity, who ought to be active.

The devise is fixed to the floor via adhesive, which makes both removal, e.g. when cleaning, and an eventual re-application difficult.

The brushes are not effective for treatment of harder callosities, chaps bunions and the like.

The creation of the device with a fixed frame restricts the movement of the foot, which means that only a superficial treatment with the brushes is possible and only works in one direction and angle of the foot.
