It's not something I would consider. I just read something on a podiatry website that said they had never heard of them being recommended by a vascular surgeon. I haven't used one nor know anyone that has. I rotate my ankles several times a day and stretch legs. And wander round to house get things going.

Your legs could be weak for other reasons. Have you meant it to your doc? You may find someone who has had a good result from them but it's a lot of cash if it doesn't. 🦶🌻

I lashed out on one and used it for quite a while. It was a nice feeling, particularly in very fast mode, but I am not sure it made any difference, apart from the cheap thrill. I then lost the remote for it somewhere so packed it in.

Personally i am appalled at the celebrities who tell people how much it has helped them.

Hello - I have one. My other half bought it after I had replacement hip surgery because the swelling in my legs was pretty bad (even though expected after the surgery). It just didn't seem to want to improve. The machine was a tremendous help and made a big difference and still use it and makes tired legs feel so much better.
