Review on Optimal Circulation Foot and Calf Leg Massager with Heat -LCD Controller- Adjustable Wrap Design for All Sizes - 3 Intensities 3 Modes by Nancy Meyer

The remote control for this system is very easy and intuitive to use. I didn't have to read the manual, it's easy to plug in, set up and get started. The system uses air pressure, which it regulates through various bends in the "boots" that fit over your feet and calves. By changing the air pressure, they imitate the feeling of kneading the muscles with your hands. There is also a heating mode that you can use. Both the strength and the intensity of the kneading and the heat can be easily adjusted and controlled via the remote control. The air pump in the controller is a bit noisy and vibrates, but it doesn't bother me. However, using headphones and listening to soothing music will block out those noises and add to the relaxed vibe. Now the big question is, does this really work? YES, it definitely is. Atmospheric pressure can be a very powerful force, so it was wise of them to use it in this application. Now I'm a big guy (250 lbs) and I have big, strong, muscular calves from years of cycling and lifting weights. This system can easily massage my large feet. In fact, at the highest intensity, it's almost too much (but it can be reduced)! My wife is half my height and she needs to set the minimum pressure. It really is a very powerful system that they have developed and it impresses me. They used a small air pump, but it has to generate several pounds of air pressure. You can definitely get a good massage. The boots also come with fairly strong velcro straps to withstand pressure. I'm an engineer and I appreciate a good design when I see it and these massage boots are definitely very well designed. The heating system is also well distributed, giving you mild warmth with no concentrated hotspots. Overall this is a great system that I would recommend if you are looking for a deep, powerful, kneading leg and calf massage.
