The range
Price and specs on every card. Nothing hidden behind a reveal.
Heated knee wrap. Straps around the joint, runs a 15-minute cycle, switches itself off.
Heated lower-back belt. The same hardware as the Knee, in a belt that sits under a work shirt.
Full-leg air compression boots. Chambers inflate in order from the foot up for a 20-minute cycle.
What this gear actually does
Every competitor page in this category promises an outcome. We describe the hardware and let you decide. That's a deliberate choice, not a gap.
It warms up and holds the temperature until the timer stops it. 55 °C is properly hot to the touch, so start on 45 the first time. On the Knee and the Back only.
Set into the inside face of the wrap. 850 nm is invisible to the eye, so the panel always looks dimmer than it's running. Use them with the heat or on their own. We list the wavelengths because that's what's in there.
Not one lump in the middle. Runs on its own or alongside the heat, on both the Knee and the Back.
Who it's for
Concreters, chippies, sparkies, tilers, plumbers. The blokes who spend the day on their knees on a slab and know which part of the evening they don't want to move for.
Nurses coming off a night shift. Truck drivers, warehouse crews, FIFO on long swings. Ten hours upright, then the drive home.
If something is actually wrong, this isn't the answer and we're not going to tell you it is. That's a GP or a physio. Buy one of these for afterwards if you want to.
How you use it
USB-C, the same cable as your phone. The boots plug into the wall instead.
Sit down first. Firm, not strangled. About ten seconds.
Pick your setting and leave it. It runs its cycle and shuts itself off, whether you remember it or not.

Pricing
Nearly every price on it is advertised as a reduction from a bigger number. One knee massager lists the same single unit at $299.95 on one page of its own site and $219.95, 'reduced from $529.95', on another.
$179 for the Knee, $149 for the Back, $249 for the Legs. That was the price last month and it'll be the price next month. There's nothing to reduce it from.
It'll have a real end date and we'll tell you why we're running it. No countdown stuck at zero, no 'only 3 left', no Easter sale still running in September.
Straight up
TORQ is Australian-owned and based on the Gold Coast. Our gear is made by our manufacturing partner in Asia and posted direct to you, free and tracked, anywhere we ship. That's a real part of why the Knee is $179 and not $349. Queensland is our returns address, not our warehouse, and we won't tell you otherwise.
Send a photo or a short video and we send a replacement. There's nothing to post back and no postage for you to pay. Several brands in this category still make you pack the unit and post it overseas at your cost. We don't.
30 days, unused and in its original packaging, posted back to our Queensland returns address at your cost, and we refund the product price. That's a weaker headline than the '90-day risk-free' you'll see elsewhere. It's also the whole policy, with nothing hidden underneath it.
Proof
TORQ launched in 2026. We haven't got ten thousand reviews and we're not going to buy, import or seed any. When real ones land we'll show them with the trade and the suburb attached.
No press logos, no 'FDA cleared', no 'TGA registered', no physio endorsement, no medical-grade anything. We hold none of those, so none of them are on this site.
Every number we know, the ones we're still measuring flagged as such, our competitors' prices printed next to ours, and an inbox that answers. Judge us on that until there's something better to judge us on.
I'm James, Gold Coast. I started TORQ because the gear I wanted was either six hundred dollars with a brand name on it, or forty dollars with no idea who made it or whether the strap would even do up. So we picked hardware we'd use ourselves, put our name on it, wrote down every number on the page, and priced it once instead of marking it up four times for a shelf. If it turns up faulty you send me a photo and I send you another one. That's the whole pitch.
FAQ
The hardware in this category is not a secret, and we're not going to pretend ours was invented in a lab. What changes between a no-name listing and this is that we put our name on it, publish every number, answer an inbox, replace it free for twelve months on a photo, and take returns to a Queensland address instead of a shipping label to nowhere.
Properly hot to the touch. Start on 45 the first time and work up once you know what it feels like. Don't use it over broken skin, and don't use it anywhere you can't feel warmth normally.
Because 850 nm is invisible to the human eye. The panel always looks dimmer than it's actually running. The red 660 nm LEDs are the ones you can see.
The Knee straps to 48 cm measured around the middle of the kneecap standing up. The Back goes out to about 135 cm at the waist. The Legs are one long size suiting roughly 165 to 190 cm. Over the limit, don't order it, email us instead and we'll tell you straight.
No. There's no app, no account, no pairing and no subscription on any of the three. You pay once and the thing is yours.
We're Australian-owned and based on the Gold Coast, and our gear is made by our manufacturing partner in Asia and posted direct to you. Free shipping worldwide with no minimum spend, dispatched in 1–2 business days, and usually 7–12 business days to metro addresses. Queensland is our returns address, not a warehouse.
The Knee and the Back hum on vibration, about like a phone buzzing on a table. The Legs run an air pump, so more like a desk fan. Fine with the TV on.
We're not going to answer that, because we're not allowed to and because we don't know. TORQ gear applies warmth, light, vibration or air pressure to the part of you it straps to. It's not a medical device and we make no claim about what it does for your body. If something is actually wrong, see a GP or a physio.
Send a photo or a short video inside twelve months and we send a replacement. Nothing to post back, no postage to pay.
Because we've never charged one. Have a look at the price table further up this page: nearly every competitor advertises a reduction from a bigger number. We'd rather just charge the price.
