Spark a recovery

- By GEORGE NICHOLS

SO many of us suffer from problems with our legs that leave them puffy, tired and heavy. The solution however can be as simple and effortless as sitting down and relaxing.

Get yourself a cup of tea and enjoy the sensation of the Revitive Circulatio­n Booster. The cuttingedg­e device targets muscles in the legs and feet through electrical muscle stimulatio­n, a medical therapy used for almost a century.

It physically contracts calf muscles to get the leg muscles pumping, giving a tingling sensation as it improves your circulatio­n, possibly bringing added medical benefits, all in the comfort of your own home.

The tingling sensation comes through the soft footpads, giving a hypnotic feeling (there are 15 waveforms to stop muscles getting accustomed to the rhythm) as you roll your feet backwards and forwards for 20-30 minutes. You can use the remote control to alter the intensity.

The device increases blood flow through puffy feet and ankles and can reduce puffiness, which itself can make them feel more alive, helping you stay active and happy.

Circulatio­n slows as we get older as well as through varied health issues. We could find ourselves constantly tired and achy or with serious problems such as diabetes and arthritis.

Diabetes leaves us at much greater risk of foot and leg problems because raised blood glucose (blood sugar) can impair sensation in the feet.

It can also affect the circulatio­n, preventing blood from flowing around your body properly, especially the legs and feet.

The Revitive Circulatio­n Booster helps with ailments (if you suffer from osteoarthr­itis, or from muscle conditions, you can feel the benefit) but it is also great after an operation when you need to gently get movement back into your body.

A clinical trial has shown Revitive improved lower leg problems by 50% in healthy people – and scientists at Imperial College London are well into a five-year study.

Cricket star Ian Botham swears by the Revitive Circulatio­n Booster to help his feet and legs survive the long charity walks he undertakes.

In its various forms, the device is recommende­d by leading doctors on both sides of the Atlantic and there is a range of models available.

The Revitive Advanced Circulatio­n Booster is perfect for simple issues, including those caused by a sedentary lifestyle and limited mobility. Conditions such as diabetes, osteoarthr­itis and neuropathy (and post-op recovery) need the more powerful Revitive Medic Circulatio­n Booster, while the Revitive Arthritis-Knee has been specifical­ly designed for those suffering from arthritis in the knee.

Sit back and let Revitive Circulatio­n Booster work on soothing those tired legs and puffy feet.
