Mother's Day Gifts for Mom, Women, Dad, Men, Him, Her, Father's Day, Christmas, Air Compression Massager with Heat for Comprehensive Leg and Foot Therapy, Helpful for Varicose Veins, Cramps, Edema

I purchased this product as a Christmas gift for my husband, who suffers from severe and often quite painful edema in his legs due to congestive heart failure. We didn't open it and try it for a month or so, as he wanted to consult with his Cardiologist for confirmation that it would be safe for him to use. He brought the device with him to his appointment to show his Doctor who confirmed that such devices, used in conjunction with elevating the legs, can often reduce swelling and provide relief. The first time he used it, he found that to be the case--it both substantially reduced swelling and was helpful in reducing the pain caused by the swelling. He has continued using it on a regular basis, and it continues to provide him relief. Overall, the product and its remote are easy to use, and he has found through experimentation, that the cycle which produces rapid compression moving up and down his calves provides him the most relief. The only challenges he has (and why I gave it 4 stars for "ease of use") are likely more related to his situation, and not a defect of the product itself, and are both related to actually fitting the cuffs/boots on his legs. First, it is difficult for him, and may be for others with mobility/flexibility challenges, to lean over and apply the cuffs to his legs tight enough for them to be most effective, so I assist him with putting them on. Second--and this might be due to the fact that he as HUGE calves--the "extension panels" that attach to the cuffs with Velcro are barely large enough to encircle his legs, and there is no compression delivered to the areas of his legs that are covered by them. My suggestion for possible product design upgrades would be to offer the product in a range of sizes where the air chambers providing the compression would actually encircle the entire lower leg. Other than those two, rather small issues, the product absolutely works as advertised and both he and I highly recommend that you give it a try! On a side note, recently I have been experiencing what I believe might be "restless leg syndrome" while asleep at night, which has at times woken me. Although I don't have edema, I did try using the device on myself a few times before retiring for the night, when I had been on my feet all day and my legs felt "tired". I have to say that it felt wonderful, and seemed to calm my legs and improve my sleep! So this device might also provide relief to those who's occupation requires them to stand or be on their feet all day. The device is affordable, so I say "give it a try"!

These are some of the cheapest ones available for a full leg massager. I can’t imagine a more expensive one doing any better. I have restless leg syndrome and these feel amazing. I have had 7 total hip replacement surgeries starting at age 24, im now 55. I was diagnosed with avascular neucrosis and let me tell you these feel absolutely amazing. They remind me of the scd leg massager they put on me post op to reduce the risk of blood clots. Truly this is the best money I have spent on myself in a long time. If you are uncertain, just try it. You won’t send them back, I promise. The amount of pressure can be adjusted. They are heated as well. The only downfall is it does take a couple minutes to get them on but it’s worth it. This set does not come with a storage bag but I ya e something I can use for one so that’s not an issue.

After a long day on my feet this device really helps! Sometimes, the feet massager pops open and that is not good!

Good pressure and good heat

It gets the job done if you’re looking for something to throw on after a long day of being on your feet. Just be aware… It doesn’t matter what mode you chose, it’s all the same, I would have to unwrap the section I don’t want to get massaged because it doesn’t matter if I pick just foot or just thigh, it does the whole thing leg regardless. Also the only realistic way to adjust the intensity is to manually adjust how tight you wrap the massager. I tried to return it but I found out too late…

I was in the hospital and they put something like this on me to prevent blood clots. Unrelated, my calves always feel so tight. So, the hospital unit gave me the idea that there might be some type of massager for calves out there. I did not like the hospital one so I was 50-50 if I would like one from amazon. I read lots of reviews and, because of Amazons good return policy, decided to try this one. I am so surprised! This really helps my tight calves. It is a well made unit. I was impressed with the quality out of the box. The heat takes a minute but full heat is almost too hot (and I love heat) so I turned it down. It is the air compression that massages - not a roller ball or anything - but, if you put it on high intensity and wrap your legs well, you will feel a good massage. The only thing I wish it didn't do was turn off after 20 minutes. I want a longer massage on very tight calves. I just turn it back on - minor inconvenience. I am very happy I selected this one. My calves have been tight for years. This helps so much. Thanks to all the prior reviewers for helping me. I rely on real reviews a lot before ordering and, in this case, they did me right!

Good so far. Wish it was a little longer on the calf. I'm 6'3. Pressure at max is quite a lot.

This would be a 5star review if these actually massaged the arch of my husband’s feet.
