[0001] The present disclosure relates, in general, to a treatment system, and more specifically, relates to a means for cleaning and massaging foot part of user.

BACKGROUND
[0002] Currently, shoe massagers that massage feet without applying any oil or other massaging gel are known in the art. Techniques such as acupressure, frictions, skin rolling and trigger pointing are used to help treat acute pain, post injury, post-surgery and scarring. A foot massage can benefit the body by increasing healing, reducing swelling, improving circulation and breaking down scar tissue.
[0003] Foot massager may obtain effect of pressurizing plantar by stimulating spots on the plantar for acupuncture, to make a plantar tendon loosen, to promote blood circulation, and enable a user to use the device for a long time. Solutions known in the art may provide a muscle stretching structure for a foot massager that both massages and stretches the leg muscles and tendons of a user, so that the leg muscles and tendons of the user are treated with both massaging and stretching effects.
[0004] Further, for foot massage people are dependent upon massage therapists and existing foot massagers. However, the rapist charge a lot of money and also consumes a lot of time, and the existing massagers may not use oil or gel. Also, they do not include foot cleaning mechanism for maintaining foot hygiene.
[0005] Therefore, there is a need for a means that is capable of cleaning and massaging foot part of user with moisturizing agents by solving aforementioned problems.
