Who has tried a Circulation Booster

Who has tried a Circulation Booster?

Its same one as the famous swimmer is currently promoting on TV at the moment

Since having an accident earlier in the year and a skin graft to a crushed foot, I still have some swelling and deap bruising and was loaned one of these devices as well as a ultrasound massager.

just wondering if anyone has tried either and what they believe the effects were?

I've wondered about that, the one that Dawn Frazer advertises?  Not for me as I don't need it but for ppl

who can't  put weight on their legs or feet. It seems pretty harmless.  As I haven't used it I can't pass on results

but you'd think if DF recommends it it must be good.  Though wasn't she the one who sponsored that 

home equity scheme that went bust?  Maybe this is different as you'd think she would know a thing or two

about muscles and the body.

Celebs have been promoting products for $$ for years, I only mentioned that part of it so people knew the product I was talking about.

Still feeling my way with moderation and not sure how they would react about a link to an actual product.

My ex uses it he thinks it's fantastic!

Saves him actually getting out of his recliner chair and taking the dog for a walk or doing the lawns or walking to the shops etc.

Hi Hawk

I have one of them for 6 months now and I have found it very good.  Since I got it and have used it  for half an hour once a day, I have been able to walk further than before I started using it.

Hi Hawk 

I have one and find it fantastic. Since we set up a room as my 'excersie therapy room', the booster gets used almost every day for 15 minutes. The usual, set cycle is 25 minutes but that's just too long for me to sit around in one session.  You can set the pulse to your desired strength from 1 - 99. I find 40 to be enough for me.

My husband rubs my feet with a moisturising cream first so the soles take well to the pulses. I don't use the heat option on the machine at all. Small veins that were appearing in my legs before I had the booster have now disappeared and I'm not suffering from restless legs as much any more.  

I do belive you can hire one from some pharmisits to try it for one month first and see if it suits you. 

Anyway...well worth consideration in my humble opinion Hawk.

I've got one but hardly use it, I should but I forget.

I have one and find it good for the arthritis in my legs. Think it is great.

You guys are slowly talking me into getting one 🙂

My OH has one, he is on his feet all day and has terrible varicose veins. His doctor suggested it and it has been fantastic, the veins have improved and the pain is about 60% better, no swelling in his ankles now either. I use it now and again but since it is in the lounge room so he can use it while watching tv, I don't use it much.
