About this deal
The full-leg sequence begins by inflating the feet wraps, pauses, then inflates the calves, followed by the thighs. From there, it rhythmically inflates and deflates each of the wraps separately; the Renpho is the only leg massager we tested that did this. The other two full-leg modes inflate and deflate one wrap at a time, gradually increasing in strength. The right compression intensity for you depends on your doctor’s recommendation and the condition for which you’re using the leg compression device. Opting for a device that offers varied intensity levels can make it easier to find a level that feels comfortable and works for your condition. Garment Length

Vincent explained “I usually try one or two conventional massage sessions to see if the person gets relief. If not, then the person more than likely requires medical attention.” He thinks the new at-home compression devices are fantastic, and they can alleviate a person’s pain, but Vincent also emphasizes that an air-compression leg massager should be used in conjunction with a doctor’s care and not as a stand-alone treatment. It works better as an at-home pedicure tool than a therapeutic foot massager. The massager is fairly loud, and while it has a heating element, you’ll want to start off with hot water since it’s not super effective. What is the circumference of the leg sleeves? What size calves will fit comfortably in the calf massager? You want the leg sleeves to fit your body with ease. You don’t want the leg sleeves to be too tight or too loose, otherwise, you will not feel the intensity of the massage properly. DurabilitySome everyday objects and exercise devices are helpful for massaging your legs. All of these techniques relax your muscles and improve blood flow to the area. Tennis balls Have lymphedema, a condition in which lymphatic fluid builds up in the soft tissue of the body, causing swelling. A calf massage increases the production of positive hormones. Serotonin and dopamine are both positive hormones secreted from the brain. Serotonin and dopamine can give a person a sense of well-being and also a "good mood" effect. A calf massage encourages the release of serotonin and dopamine to help increase a person's level of relaxation. We thoroughly test all the foot massagers that we review, either at home or during a live product demonstration, following the directions on the box. Where applicable, we test the different heat, vibration and massage settings.
