INTRODUCTION

    I may not be one to spend most of my day at the gym or working out but i do like using the treadmill and even the adidas weights machine i have at home whenever i find the time. Surprisingly enough however most of my back and leg injuries occur from having to carry large devices/products to the 1st floor of the lab via the stairs (no elevator) and so because of that I’m always looking for ways to counter pain. Late last year i had the chance to test the Venom Go Heat & Vibration Wearable by Hyperice which did a very good job soothing muscle pain but since it did so at a rather limited area today, I'll be trying something much larger, the Venom 2 Leg Advanced Heat & Vibration Wrap.

   Hyperice is a technology-driven company with a giant mission, to help everyone on Earth move and live better. For more than a decade, Hyperice has led a global movement at the confluence of recovery and wellness, specializing in percussion (Hypervolt line), dynamic air compression (Normatec line), vibration (Vyper and Hypersphere lines), thermal technology (Venom line), and contrast therapy (Hyperice X).

    Just like with the Venom Go, the Venom 2 Leg is neoprene wrap (2 straps for increased compatibility and support) massager which combines distinct therapeutic vibration patterns (3 available types - steady/intermittent/pattern/off) together with heat (3 temperature levels, 45/50/55 degrees Celsius - 113/122/131 degrees Fahrenheit) to effectively soothe muscle pain. Thanks to Hyperice's HyperHeat technology the Venom 2 Leg delivers consistent, even heating up to 6 times faster than standard pads thus providing almost instant relief. Since the Venom 2 Leg is a rather large surface device (especially compared to the Venom Go) Hyperice this time over has used an 5000mAh built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery (18V/1A) which can provide power for up to 3 hours and just like with their other models it's also TSA approved for carry-on. Needless to say, the Venom 2 Leg can be controlled both by its exterior buttons and the Hyperice bluetooth app.
