Go with the flow for happy legs
TENS therapy could help circulation and ease pain
AS TIME goes on, many of us can experience problems with our lower legs and feet — whether caused by arthritic knees or poor circulation, perhaps linked to diabetes.
Medical treatment for the circulation can often be topped up with simple daily measures, such as avoiding sitting for too long, doing lowimpact exercises such as calf stretches and ankle rotations, watching our weight and wearing comfortable shoes.
Using a latest-generation TENS foot circulation boosting machine each day for a short period of time could also work to improve blood flow, while helping to relieve discomfort, tiredness and the ‘heavy’ feeling associated with arthritic pain.
This type of combination TENS therapy delivers a mild, painless electrical pulse through the soles of your feet and into the lower legs, to stimulate nerves in the affected area.
These pulses encourage the calf muscles to automatically contract, which can naturally encourage blood flow, helping to pump blood up and down the legs and relieve pain. Meanwhile, you simply sit back and relax holding the wireless remote control in your hand, with no need to bend down to change anything.
Once you have selected from a choice of intensity levels, it’s time to feel the benefits from the CE-certified registered medical device as it delivers a customised programme of 25 waveforms.
The broad variety of pulse types, patterns and speeds keeps the stimulation feeling fresh and invigorating. The benefits experienced by users can range from reduced discomfort in the lower legs and feet, to boosted blood flow, less pain in targeted areas such as legs, feet and knees, and relief of arthritic knee and joint pain.
Enjoy a 30-minute therapy session for the feet and legs — ideal if you need an extra helping hand to alleviate the symptoms of poor circulation.
And as this is a three-inone system, you can also give direct TENS therapy to arthritic knees by affixing specially designed electrode pads to the affected areas, to soothe aches and pains.
Or place the pads almost anywhere on the body for fast and effective, drug-free pain relief.
