Does this machine massage calves as well? I see a reference to that fact, but can't tell how it would do so.

I use it for my calves only. I put a towel or cover my calves otherwise it can hurt.

No it doesn't, unfortunately. I believe that other guy just "lied" down and manipulated it massage his calves, but iirc was probably excruciating. The unit is amazing for the feet though.

No it does not....... But it truly works great for the bottom of feet..... Open space on both ends means that you can move your feet backward and forward to get every inch of your feet massaged. But definitely NOT the calves!

Let me answer this question one more time. Yes if you fall on your back on the floor and just put your calves in the machine, it will massage them.... But really this machine is designed to massage the bottom of the feet mainly. So if the advertising says "calves" it is theoretically correct but it does not work well...

It mostly vibrates the bottom. Calves and tops of feet is what this works the best.

I feel that it Does help with the circulation in the lower extremities. I run the massager up and down my claf & thigh muscles, and it seems to provide relief in those areas.

The massager mainly works on the arch section of the foot. There is some heel action but not much.

It works Calves(knees go under the padded crossbar for the lift action), if it activates anything on the upper leg it would be minimal. No Weights included

This massager does not do the calves. It is excellent for the bottom of the feet or the back but if you are looking for one that does the calves I would go with the Thumper Minipro2.

It's not a massage machine, it won't massage you for any good, but I would highly recommend this machine for acne use only :)

I ordered this for my brother's calf warming box. He isn't sure, but thinks it runs constantly? Sorry I am not of better help!

Depending on the width of your legs, yes. My husband massages his lower legs (knees to ankles).

You lay on the floor or a hard surface,put your ankles on the top,turn the machine on, it moves every part of your body.You can feel thecirculation. especally good for people that are not able to get out and walk, but good for anyone.I like the machine and should use it at least twice a day. I wouldsuggest a yoga mat to lay on.It is a passive exercise where the machinemoves you, instead of you moving the machine.

I've been using it for two days now and I haven't noticed any kind of soreness or anything in my calves. It makes my quadriceps sore and that's what I feel is being worked out the most. Depends on how you step on it really! If you step with your toes (like tip-toeing) then it will work your calves but if you keep your foot flat and push down with your entire leg then it mostly focuses on your quads like I said before. I have big calves and I mean big as in muscular. My sister always said I had man legs so I avoid working them out and I like this little stepper.

Somewhat... There is some 'give' in the machine but it is a regular treadmill. I thoroughly enjoy mine though and my knees hurt most of the time.

Just vibration + heat - various levels of both vibration & heat - Have had several types of foot massagers and this is the best we have had. Had a reflexology one just prior to this one and was one of the worst we have ever had - - plain discomfort ! ! Hope this answers your ? ?

Yes, although it isn't ideal. If you put your feet in the middle it squeezes them really hard and hurts, but you can rest them on top of the rollers. You have to work to keep them in place, though. I wouldn't buy it as a foot massager, but it works in a pinch.

Air Sequential Leg Massager - More relaxation muscle, Gradient Sequential Compression Machine - More Blood and Lymph Circulation from Foot to Top (Squeezing System)

That was a good question as I hadn't tried it on my calves yet. It pretty much takes both hands to hold the machine. One to provide the pressure and the other to keep it from toppling off to one side. I found I wasn't able to do the calves by myself so my wife helped.. Joe

Yes. I purchased this for my gf who is the same build. It is more about how you use the roller (location of use and amount of pressure you put into it). She uses the roller on a daily basis mostly for her back but I use it for quads, lats, calves, and ham string muscles.
