Air Compression Leg Massager with Heat - Ideal Christmas, Mother's Day and Father's Day Gifts for Men, Women, Dad, Mom - Relieves Foot and Knee Pain, Eases Varicose Veins, Cramps, Swelling and Edema

I recently resumed walking after a layoff of over a year. Within a week of resumption, my calves started complaining - that was still tolerable. But when the muscles next to my shin bone joined in the protest, I knew I had to do something. Manual massage, ache balms, battery-powered focused massager - they all seemed to help a bit, but not to the extent that the pain would go away completely. Then my wife showed me this massager and I said - why not. The first time I tried it, I did not know what to expect. A quick read through the simple manual, and I was on board with its capabilities to massage the leg beneath the knee, or just a portion of it, and with different intensity levels with or without using heated air to aid in the recovery. I worked up the courage to try the highest intensity in the 3rd or 4th session - and it was something! So, my usual day has a session with the massager, preferably after the walk and that seems to rejuvenate the legs sufficiently. Sometimes it is one of the last activities of the day just before turning in for the night. Either way, it is helpful. What happens with it is that it pumps in air in different pockets (or all pockets) of the leg cover that encloses the leg and locks with velcro, and then the air is released after a while - it is this cycle that creates a sensation of the leg being massaged manually. There is an extension part to the leg cover, for people who need extended coverage. Overall, I found it a useful aid to keep me up to getting my daily steps and not complaining about achy legs. One thing to keep in mind - the velcro clasp is rather strong, so when you set it aside, make sure to make minimal contact between the two sides of the cover, else you would be pulling them off with considerable effort when the time comes for the next use. Also, do not let the velcro attach itself to the carpet on the floor - that makes for another noisy session subsequently. Happy legs!

Works as advertised. I’m big and could use a little more pressure but it is a great product, well-built and I benefit from it.

So I must say I was skeptical because of the price. They got to my house and the Box wasn't too big but I opened it and realized material wasn't too bad it was just a little stiff. And slightly small for the bigger person, and not even like bigger, just like a man, they dont seem to close up so great (Only a lil room left to keep it velcroed together) . They gave you extenders but those seem kind of pointless. The Velcor was only 1 sided not both. they don't work because they are not connected to the rest of the equipment, it be nice if it worked simultaneously together. But others then that they work great, they do as they say in the ad. My father suffered several illnesses and diseases and these have been a tremendous help with his legs and his swelling. He just feels much better after using this. It's given us some ease. It can get nice and toasty and is pretty strong, it most defintely tightens quite well...lole.am.anaconda lol. I'm so glad I decided to make this purchase for him. It was well worth it and for the value..its a thumbs up from me!

Easy to figure out. Didn't even need to read instructions to figure out how to use it. The led screen reminds you what each "mode" will do so you don't have to reference manual. They run small but it comes with extenders but I'm not sure an incredibly large calved person will be able to use. You'll have to just try it but its ample for average sized men and women. I like you can adjust intensity and heat temperature. The highest heat setting gets very hot so its good to be able to turn it down after awhile if you start getting a hot spot. Start on low intensity and gradually build up. I started at highest and it kinda hurt so you got to figure out your threshold. You dont need to over tighten the velcro . The air bags will inflate enough at the higher intensity! It shuts off for safety so no worries about falling asleep and getting burned or hurt I have neuropathy and poor circulation below knees and it makes my feet feel light as air and gives me momentary relief from the pins and needles. They aren't "massage' thingies but the compression and sequence of it reminds me of a 200 dollar swedish massage I bought once on a weekend get away. Now I can save my money with a one time purchase and get a fancy massage anytime!

I bought this for myself. I have diabetes and my legs get swollen sometimes. I also get Stasis Dermatitis in my legs and have to wear compression socks part of the day to help with blood circulation. These leg massagers are great. I use them twice a day and they have really helped with the swelling. I work from home and sit all day . These leg massagers have also helped for tired legs and feet . They are easy to use and the heating function really works. I like that they work on your legs and feet too. The price was right too. I would definitely recommend these to anyone.

Meh. I am 65. I have and use on a daily basis a hand massager, temple and eye massager and microwave heated neck thing. All for preventative measures. I was really looking forward to receiving this item. First of all… You can’t use it if someone else in the room is sleeping because of all the Velcro. It can be very loud. Secondly… It’s not as easy as sticking your hand in a hand massager and hitting the power button… It takes time to properly get into this. And then get out. Lastly… If you use this in your bedroom, you’re going to need a designated drawer to put this in when it’s not in use… It’s a lot. And there is no way you’re going to be traveling with it like I do my hand massager and my heated neck thing. It’s cumbersome and heavy. For all the people that say it helped them with certain medical issues… I’m happy for you. From the standpoint of a preventative… I don’t see the benefit. Waste of money for me.
