I have thick calves and knots in the muscles there. Will the unit be powerful enough to reach the muscles there?

I know it will...I haven't had any issues using it. I was also prescribed a tens unit from my doctor...it was not as good as this unit!!!

Don't think that will be a problem with the foot passing through. The opening is gaged for the diameter of the average calf. As you put it on, place you thumbs at the top side of the opening and as you drag it up you leg, let all of the pressure bare on the bottom of the foot. Once you pass your foot, you can be more even with pulling. That is how I had to do it with my broken ankle and a size 11 men's foot. Good luck.

I don't think so. This thing does work pretty good. I was kind of skeptical about spending the $ myself, but it is worth it if you're in pain. Depending on if the roids are internal or external, you freeze it different to get the correct results. I'd be asriad about gtting that sensitive area too cold!

That depends. I mean it's not a miracle worker. I wouldn't recommend using it on an injured muscle but as far loosening the muscles it will work. Imagine putting your vacuum hose on your skin that's what it sort of feels like. I hope this helps.

For your second question, I've used it when my power was out, and although it did move, I wasn't able to increase the resistance, view calories burned, and view all the other features that I've grown accustomed to seeing. So to answer your question, yes you can use it, but without being able to increase the resistance your workout won't be as effective. Sorry

I had physical therapy and therapist had this device in his office. He instructed me how to use it, that is the reason i bought it it.Suggest to visit Physical therapist if you have problem with shoulder rotator calf

If you have good arm strength, you'll be fine. Still have to help yourself up with your legs a little. The device itself is plenty sturdy enough.

yes if you work hard enough. I added arm stretch/ rope to exercise upper body to the machine....

Yes, it has plenty of power if you stay within the weight limits. For an adult I would recommend a E-300.

It's not made for huge calf's. I have big calf's and it can only massage my leg between my calf and ankle. It has a short plug so you will need an extension cord. It's perfect for the feet. Has helped me with plantar fasciitis. Max width is 4.5".

Probably not. The cord is not long enough, and it's a little delicate for doing strenuous activity.

Hello Anita. I am not at home with my exerciser but if the area you are talking about is accessible you might want to give it a squirt of WD-40 or sewing machine oil.

Definitely! It works great on the calves, neck, anywhere you have a muscle.

The grooves on the Rumble Roller is the key. My Personal Trainer suggested that I purchase this specific one to help me with the tightness in my calves. They will dig into your trigger points with however amount of pressure you apply on it. It's awesome. My calves are looser. It's my best friend for working tight muscles and other areas that need working on

The side compressors come up about 12". There is a roller "knob" in the rear at about the 9" mark. While it feels good to get the lower half of your lower leg squeezed, it's really not tall enough to effectively massage the calf of even a small adult. I suppose your mileage will vary depending on your calf shape.

Sarah, It depends on your leg strength. Seems to me there is not enough movement going on when I use mine. I slip the device little higher on my thighs so I could feel muscles working. Hope this helps. Best of luck.
