Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am using my massager while typing this review, which is the biggest benefit of this machine in my opinion. I'm a 5'3" female runner. I run daily in the mornings 3-7miles and then sit at a desk for 4-8 hours a day. I find that unless I conscientiously get up to move around and stretch I get extremely tight and stiff and my blood pools at my feet by end of day. So far I have used it for a few days multiple times a day and even after the first night I noticed freshness in my legs on my subsequent run that I don't usually have. I love the simplicity of the leg massager and like wearing it while sitting working. To me it feels like a blood pressure cuff except specifically designed for my thighs, calves, and feet. It fits my legs just fine. My husband is a thin 5'9" and it also fits him. A previous reviewer mentioned the cable to the thigh was too short but that's not a problem because you can just pull back a plastic strap/adjuster piece to easily pull apart the thigh cable further from the 3-cable cord. The design is quiet (again, think noise level of the blood pressure machine). It alternates inflating/deflating between thigh, calves, feet. The idea is that it'll move the blood down and up back to the heart, thereby increasing circulation and oxygen/healing to those areas. My husband's friend swears by a different $1,000.00 leg compression massager for recovery after playing basketball but no way am I willing to pay that much yet. I am thinking I will also be bringing this in my luggage for long flights. It folds up to about the size of a large loaf of bread. It will be worth it to reduce the swelling in my legs, esp since I can have it do its work while I am doing other things. Well worth it for a relatively low price.
