What is the diff. between a nonsequential & sequential unit? My doctor said that one is more like getting a massage than the other. Please explain.

In the sequential that is the one that I have you can feel the blood flowing it start compressing from your foot going up , it is like a linfactic drennage, is like have your massage therapist at home taking care of your legs ,it is a relieve . Is the same kind that I used 14 years ago when I had plastic surgery, it does make the blood flow , it is a little more expensive but you will thank yourself later.

A sequential unit fills the air in a sequence, starting at the feet and working towards the thighs, with multiple air chambers. Whereas a non sequential unit is one large bladder that fills at one time. The sequential unit allows better compression and helps push fluid up towards the upper leg. Hope this helps!

Hello The difference with the both is quiet easy the non sequential pumps the whole leg at one time, as for the air sequential pumps each chamber at a time so for example it hits 1 then hit 2 then hits 3 then hits 4. As for non sequential hit 1-4 all at once.Hope this helps Erica

In sequential, air is sent into different parts of the sleeve in sequence, creating pressure and improving venous return. For a massager, the whole garment is inflating and deflating at the same time.

A inconsequential unit inflates an entire unit such as one leg whereas the sequential unit has four individual cells per leg which will inflate from the foot too the knee helping to push fluid out of the leg similar to massage. My unit is great value fantastic certainly worth indulging yourself if you have leg problems.

The sequential one squeezes from your foot up to your thigh in segments so as to push the fluid up. Whereas the other one squeezes the whole leg and foot with equal pressure.

not for sure but the sequential unit you can adjust the pressure and the pumps up then releases then it pumps up again you can set the time on the pressure on how long it squeezes hope the help if ya need any more info feel free to ask!!!

It only has one "speed", but has several "durations". I usually use the 'extra care' cycle, which has 30 seconds for each quadrant, followed by four 15 second cycles for areas where you think you need more work, like those size 4 gaps.

We have the Panasonic Air Massager leg reflexology EW-NA33-P. Based on the descriptions and price we ordered EW-NA33-P because we guessed that it was an upgrade. It does work very well. Several people with experience agree that this unit is excellent if not even better than the professional hospital variety. The only drawback that we have found is that the timer only allows maybe 15 minutes of operation and then you must restart the cycle. Great for 15 minutes, though!

In sorry, but I don't know what the difference would be. I didn't feel as if it helped in anyway and didn't order it again. Hopefully whatever you decide, it helps you

Hi Phyllis -- I cannot tell you what is the difference or what is the same BUT I can tell you that I have used it for years and my family and friends have used it... I also use it for my dogs and all of us are very happy plus pain is gone or decreased. My dog could not walk at all with her hind legs and she started using them again and was fine for another 8 - 10 years... Oh Phyllis if you are going to use the Omega BE SURE YOU USE THE OMEGA 3-6-9 .. this is the most complete and one does not work well without the other ... GOOD LUCK - GOD BLESS

It's handheld and pressure is applied using your own strength, vs the foam roller. I think it's easier to use because you don't have to be on the floor. You can use it standing or while seated. I think alternating the two would be beneficial. I own both and did not buy one to replace the other. I do think the foam roller provides a little deeper massage because you using body weight vs arm strength. Hope this helps.

Hi , Stephen u can see the difference at this website link : http://www.skins.net/intl/product-comparison-chart/ at the skins website it seems to say a400 is advance version for serious athletes doing &gt; 10 hrs per week . Also a400 has 3 diff length sizes . Whereas a200 is for usual people who do about 10hrs training per week . U might like to study the product chart at this website link . Cheers . Das

I have had this divice a few years, you can operate it separately to a degree, the manual is very helpful. I started having numbness, pain, and tingling in my legs after a surgery which seemed unrelated to my legs, however there was some nerve damage, however this gadget is awesome for basic issues to major issues like mine. I don't know how I would make it without it. The foot massage portion is very strong so wear really thick socks if you have problems with your feet like I do with the severe numbness I have. Good luck, I hope you like it as much as I have the last 3 years.

The machine used on me by the PT during my post surgery rehab was more effective. I was told it cost over $2000. If I give that machine a 10 then this unit is a 4 or 5. But on based on its cost by comparison it should have been a 1 or less.

I have no idea what the difference is. I looked at the description of the "Calmer" pad and it appears to do the same thing mine does. I love my pad. I have a seriously degenerating spine and it helps my tight muscles and will often times help me fall asleep.

?"Which is better?".....Not sure what you are referring to? I purchased mine to help stop further bunions forming on my big toes, not as much for curling/turning toes or foot pain.

They are the same - you probably get more of the gel when you use the regular gel - the roll on is for convenience only. But you have to remember to wash your hands after applying unless putting on hands and DO NOT USE ANY KIND OF HEAT WITH THIS PRODUCT. You can actually burn your skin. This is the same thing that therapists use on you after you have had say rotator cuff surgery. Hope that helps.

I tend to alternate because that works best for me, so it's a personal preference or bases on individual results. However, I've used for consecutive days and had good results. I hope that helps!

I contacted customer service regarding this issue and they told me there was no difference between the two units. The numbers are different because they are marketed to different types of retailers.

They are one and the same. Its not 2 different products. SixThirteen Ultra Nourishing Cleansing Treatment is the complete name. It is available in different sizes and may have a different label depending on the distributor.

I've had this unit for about two months and use it daily for TMJ cheek muscle pain (even though some say its not for the face) and it has helped alot. I also use it on the back of my neck and shoulders. It is definitely not just a massager! It has six different modes and 20 intensity levels, haven't gotten past third on face and fourth on neck/shoulders. The pictures you see are probably misleading cause they do look like they are massage hands but I think its just to give you an idea of what kind of pressure to expect. I've only used two mode so far. I would definitely recommend this. Good price, self stick pads and you get 8, plus two outlets so you can use four pads at a time.

I purchased this as an emergency item for my daughter and she used it once so far and was very happy. I do not know the difference......sorry.
