LifePro Legra Hand Massager with Heat and Compression - Finger, Wrist, and Palm Massager with 5 Modes - Pressure Point Therapy for Sensitive Hands, Relaxation, and Comfort

My hand is less numb, and it's well worth the money. I've been doing my exercises every day since then, and I'm also feeling less pain from the inflammation in my wrist and hand.

Not sure if it works as described

It's pretty intense, feels great on the hands and wrists. Doesn't 'massage' but it has pretty tight compressions, vibrations and the heat feels amazing. I'm not convinced it will help arthritis, but it has a soothing relief on tired hands and wrists. My daughter who has carpal tunnel tried it and was amazed at the comfort it temporarily provided. Again, it is not a cure for carpal tunnel but it does feel nice.

This is not a typical massager, although it does have some functioning that resembles of massage. Its pressurizing device with blunt plastic needle like points (acupuncture) that has 3 focus areas, wrist - palm - fingers. It inflates and deflates in different patterns and forces throughout your hand (at times those wave patterns does feels like someone is actually massaging your hand). At the first use it may feel slightly panful or uncomfortable because you never had anything like this done to your hand, but after a few sessions it becomes enjoyable and relaxing. I didn't like it much and was skeptical after the first use but now I use daily and actually enjoy it. The device interior space is just big enough for Large size hands, at first I thought it was too small for my large hands, but now I understand how it operates and am pleased with it. There is a way to move your hand further in or out of the device and change up pressure focus areas (sometimes I want more focus on my long fingers), there is slight room to spread or reposition the fingers. The heater function is nice but it does drain the battery faster so I skip it most of the time. The hand placed in a tight space itself accumulates plenty of heat. 5 modes offers variety (I've included picture from the manual with description). I know many customers have requested more detailed info on these modes so I will try to explain. Modes 1 & 2 are the most popular and cover the whole hand in various patterns top to bottom, my personal fav is #2. Mode 3 covers wrist and palm with MAX force continuously with very brief pressure release intervals - it can get very intense. Mode 4 it only works focused on your wrist. Mode 5 covers palm and wrist (its very similar experience to 1&2). 5 levels of intensity does come handy, at first I could barely handle 1 or 2, now days I always use the max level 5. Battery lasts long time, remember heating device will drain the battery much faster. To check the battery level you can see it while using it or plug in charger and it will show you more accurately. Battery level indicator can periodically drop lower during intense pressure points but that's normal and it bounces back up when the pressure released. Device does come with automatic 15 minute shut off timer which is very convenient.

Let's set some expectations... If you're looking for something like a personal massage therapist, this is not it. It's not going to replicate that feel. Nor will it be super strong and intense. It does not massage individual fingers. It's more just vibrating and compression with some slight warmth. Once you get that, it's fine. It does exactly what it says. Will it help someone with arthritis? Probably not really.... But it's better than nothing. The battery is not great though. Basically, it's on for about 15-20 minutes and it's out about 25% of the battery. You also want to recharge it once it reaches about 25%. So that means you really can only use it about 3x before needing to charge for 1-4 hours. Surprisingly, those ring things they give you are very effective and simple tool for massaging. My mother who has arthritis loves using them.
