Due to the expensive price tag (non covered by Medicare) on the Relaxis pad, wondering if Relaxis works and is better than other massagers available at a lower price tag? Any comments or advice would be appreciated.

I'm not sure how helpful this will be because although I have one and would not be without it, I would hesitate to recommend it at the high price tag it carries. It is not invariably effective - it is more in the nature of a back up plan when all else fails and tends to be more useful if I am in bed during the day than when symptoms strike at night. You could say that it probably does not pass the cost benefit analysis although I am glad I have it. If money were no object I would say definitely go ahead but it is so expensive ...
Incidentally, on a recent webinar posted by rls.org, which reviewed the various phsyical devices available for RLS, it was asserted that in a double blind study the relaxis was found to be ineffective for RLS but good for inducing sleep. I have to say that this surprised me. I do find it effective for RLS although, as I have said, not reliably so. Conversely it does not seem to have much impact on sleep - go figure. There was another device that came out much better in double blind tests. I think it was a sort of wrap that you put around each leg.
I. Can tell you now it doesn't work or it didn't for meit was pathetic and cost £99.00 I sent it back and had a refund don't bother
Hi Beady. can you explain what you paid £99 for?x
RWIck this message is for you that was the price of the Relaxis Pad
Thanks for the info
See if Bed, bath and beyond still has battery powered back massagers that one can use in the car on a trip. I laid one flat, used the electric cord and it massaged the entire leg - $99.00. it will flatten fine if you are laying on it. I suggest looking it if they are still sold. I got mine several years ago, maybe 2008.
I have a Relaxis pad. Do not work for me. I spend a lot of money for nothing
