Compression Massagers

An air compression massager is a fabric wrap lined with airbags (air chambers). A controller pumps air into the chambers and releases it in a timed cycle, so the wrap squeezes and lets go around the leg. Programs change the order and rhythm in which the chambers fill; intensity levels change how firmly they fill. There are no rollers or moving parts against the skin, which is the difference from a kneading or shiatsu massager.

The zone is set by the shape of the wrap:

• Foot and calf (LX1). One piece from the foot through the calf. You sit on a couch or chair with your legs out while it runs.
• Knee (LX4). A wrap around the knee that reverses to cover the knee plus the calf, or the knee plus the thigh. Adds heat and optional vibration.
• Full leg (LX10). Wraps that run from the feet to the thighs, the largest coverage of the three.

Lunix does not publish chamber counts or pressure figures in mmHg on these listings; ask us if you need them.

Lunix LX1 Foot and Calf, $109.97

Air chambers in a single foot-and-calf wrap, a handheld controller with multiple modes and intensity levels, and an optional heat or cold setting. Closes around the lower leg for a secure fit. Forest Green and Charcoal Black, same price and specs.

Lunix LX4 Cordless Knee, $79.97

Air compression with optional vibration, 3 programs, 6 intensity levels and 3 heat levels, set from a touchscreen controller. The reversible wrap positions for the knee and calf or the knee and thigh, and it runs on a rechargeable battery, so it does not need to be near an outlet during a session. Forest Green. The lowest price in the group and the only cordless unit with published heat levels.

Lunix LX10 Full Leg, $99.97 to $99.98

Air compression wraps from the feet to the thighs, a controller with multiple modes and intensities, and an included hot and cold pack for warmth or cooling. Charcoal Black ($99.97, low stock) and Forest Green ($99.98); the two colors are the same massager.

• Coverage. Foot and calf (LX1), knee with calf or thigh (LX4), feet to thighs (LX10). Choose by the area you want covered in one session.
• Programs and intensities. The LX4 publishes 3 programs and 6 intensities; Lunix lists multiple modes and intensity levels on the LX1 and LX10 without exact counts. Ask us for the number on a specific model.
• Heat and cold. LX4: 3 built-in heat levels. LX1: optional heat or cold setting. LX10: a separate hot and cold pack you warm or chill and place in the wrap.
• Power. The LX4 is rechargeable and cordless. Lunix does not state whether the LX1 and LX10 run on a battery or a cable; ask us before you order if you want to use one away from an outlet.
• Fit. All three close with adjustable wraps. Lunix does not publish maximum calf or thigh circumference; if you have larger legs, ask us for the measurements before ordering.
• Warranty. Lifetime warranty from Lunix on all five listings.

• Feet and calves after a day of standing or travel: LX1 Foot and Calf, $109.97.
• The knee, with heat, without a cable: LX4 Cordless Knee, $79.97.
• The whole leg in one session: LX10 Full Leg, $99.97 to $99.98.
• Hands and wrists: the same airbag mechanism in a glove-style unit, on hand massagers, from $53.97.
• Percussion guns, neck and back massagers: see massage devices; for heat alone, see heating pads.

Before you use one

Anyone with a circulatory, vascular or skin condition, who is pregnant, or who has a medical implant should check with a doctor before using a compression device. Do not use a wrap over broken skin or a recent injury, start at the lowest intensity, and follow the session length in the Lunix manual.
