Lifepro Leg Massager - Foot and Leg and Calf Compression Massager for Circulation - with Heat and Compression for Pain Relief - High, Wide

I used this leg massager during immunotherapy. My legs swelled so bad my knees, calves and ankles were thick and painful. I was able to choose the massage sequence and heat to move up from my ankles then calves, knees and thighs. After compressing each area, heat soothed and relieved pain. I was able to restore bending of my joints. Occasionally I need to use the massager when swelling returns.

First, this item works as advertised...almost. I have pain in both knees, mostly caused by my weight but also due to tightness in my hamstrings and IT band. It's advertised to work on the knees, but the massage pressure is only applied to the feet, calf, and upper leg. I like that this device is powered by electric and does not require charging after twenty minutes of use. I can put the device on and leave it on for hours when I watch a movie. The heat and pressure can be directed toward any region or it can work top to bottom or vice versa. The heat has two settings, hot or warm. The massage feature has three settings for pressure. The downside is, the unit is HUGE and in no way will fit in the storage bag that comes with it unless you have a vacuum bag, then maybe. The bigger problem is it is terribly difficult to get into if you do not have someone to help you OR you have carpet or a fabric chair. The velcro straps are very strong but adhere to anything it can grasp. The first time I put it on, it took me about 10 minutes per leg. I have cut that time in half by using it repeatedly and figuring out the best way to do it. My only other complaint, the cord for the controller is long enough for the power supply, but the cables and tubes that run to the assembly are just a bit too short to allow the controller to sit on a nearby table, so either dangle or falls to the floor. So for the price of a couple of massages, this is not a terrible buy.

I had a mild stroke in October 2022. It mostly effects my right leg, foot & balance & with moderate loss of feeling in my appendage. I am starting physical therapy but wanted something to help in between exercising. Immediately, since I have started using this device first week in January 2023, my right foot which had become partially numb from the stroke has a great deal more sensation in it. The numbness was causing me trouble in feeling the gas & brake peddles in my car. This has eased up tremendously. Previously, I had thought in horror that my driving days were over. But it's been six days since I've been using this and a lot of feeling is returning & I was able to complete small test drives because I now have more feeling in my right foot. Before It was numb & barely movable & I immediately garaged my car for what I thought would be forever. But today, my driving ability connected to feeling the peddles was almost like normal. I almost cried as I am an elder & live alone and have no assistance. I needed to maintain my independence by having use of my car to get around. Your device has assisted me in retaining my mobility. Thank You.

The remote is too short. It has a clip on the back but it only goes to your waste and gets hot to the touch. The electric cord comes out at the thought of wind. The remote is several pounds. It has letters and numbers so you have to keep the book handy to know what setting you want. Unless you memorize all 12 plus. It’s too noisy to sleep while wearing or nap. It takes two people to pull apart the Velcro. If you get it too tight it takes two other people to pull apart. Too loose you have to completely re Velcro. The feet don’t stay tight and bust open once you turn it on. But the remote is the worse part u less you like two pounds of hot to the touch A loud vibrating mess that loses power at the touch and becomes unplugged and the cord drops.

I just got my Thrive Pro leg massager from Lifepro fitness! It was heavier than I expected and it is a very solid machine. It took me a few minutes to get it on but the velcro is nice quality and though it takes some muscle to pull it apart. I am still impressed!! I just finished my first 20 minute massage it was pleasant. Everything worked as it should. I have seen reviews in here that complained about no heat, the heat and compression both work well. If you have ever had the compression machine on your legs at a hospital then you have an idea of what this is like. It fills up with air and compresses your legs and feet. I can see this would be a great machine to have after any leg surgery if nothing else to prevent blood clots. I am excited to see what results I will get from using it regularly! D Sutherland
