How does this work on the calves? Has anyone used it for Restless Leg Syndrome?

I have used on calves, it is not the most comfy item for this, for your situation I would recommend you can search it: Kneading Portable Massage Cushion - Shiatsu-Style Massage for On-The-Go by Prospera you can even use in a vehicle or HoMedics PA-MH Therapist Select® Compact Percussion Massager

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...

Personally, I have both and I only use the Styrofoam massage roller to help loosen the muscles around my IT band. As for the muscle roller stick I can go as deep or gentle into my calves as I need, you don't get the same option with the Styrofoam roller. I've known quiet a few people who are turned off by the Styrofoam roller because of how painful it can be.

I have this item and have used it many times,it has helped when the sciatic gets to acting up and when the back spasms,I also have DDD and have found it helpful.I am not able to use it on the floor however like it suggests as I cannot lay straight back,so I place it on my bed then roll on to it from my side and adjust my body,it works fine that way

I use on my calf and thigh. It says you can place thumper behind your back but not to lean hard on machine. It is very powerful and well made.

I don't think I can be of any help with your question I have only taken the Maximum Strength I take it at night it seems to help me more with night sweats. I would say if your having trouble with balance you may want to consider contacting a DR.

it keeps or makes you belive it keeps the hip in place... not sure if it may work for muscle spasms...

I use it on all my muscles that are sore. I walk and have found it to help when I have leg issues.

I'm sure it would. To be perfectly honest I have not yet used it but have had amazing results with 1) taking MgCitrate internally...look up "Natural Calm" 2) transdermal application of MgChloride, also know as magnesium oil. I just rub it on with a cotton swap. Either of these alone or in combination will stop my leg cramps in minutes flat!! The problem with the straight up Mg "oil" is that is can sometimes sting the skin and cause redness. I got the lotion and have been very happy that it does not cause stinging. Good luck!

We use it on our calfs. I think it would fit on my thigh but it would probably be just barely.

I also have that problem, but it really affects my legs. Move Free Ultra has helped me a LOT. Try it for a couple of months, you'll only waste a little money if it doesn't work,but I firmly believe in this product. I think it will work for you, too.

It does help with tight muscles. After running, my hamstrings and calves are pretty tight but this definitely helps relieve the tension. As for upper back, I do feel some relief and less spasms. So I would say it does help with trigger points. Plus, you can always use a golf ball or tennis or lacrosse ball for a specific spot if you want to be cost efficient.

I use my legs. The hanlde does work, but I figure less wear and tear. Hope this helps.

Yes, hard to describe without trying it but, while you are using it it is also positioning your foot in a way (toes/midfoot dorsiflexed) that stretches the plantar fascia, at same time as the calves. when you hang over stair, you can get the calve well, but this device really adds strectch to the plantar fascia in a way I find a stair doesn't (when you stretch on a stair you typically are not dorsiflexing the midfoot).

Hello, I am taking these at bedtime for leg pain due to nerve damage as recommended by my doctor. I still get cramping in my feet on days that I have walked or hiked for a long time but most nights I don't have a problem. It might be worth a try. Good luck

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.

Cuprum Metallicum and Magnesa Sulfate. I play tennis and tried this roll on when I started cramping. Meh. I agree with one of the other responses that Hyland's Leg Cramps works better. I cramped another time during a tennis match. Instead of Cramp 911, I took the Hyland Leg Cramps pills, I was able to finish my match. With Cramp 911 - I could not finish my tennis match and forfeited due to leg cramping.
