[Misc] Revitive- Circulation Booster -Any feedback?

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

I have had an achilles heel tendonitis issue for about 7 weeks, since I missed a step at home early Dec. No amount of massaging or medication (ibroprufen) seems to have helped so I have bought on elf the Revitive foot pulse circulation booster thingies. Only had two thirty minute goes so far but I must say I am feeling a tad better in the right heel department.


Anyone else had similar issues and bought on eo fates or know of anyone who has one and can feedback any tips/hints?

I am doing a 30 minute session (now twice a day) on setting strength 40.

cheers

if Ian Botham is anything to go by, it won't help your waistline.

I was thinking of getting one of these until I read that no physio or OT ever recommends them - and if not why not? Having said that there are many anecdotal reviews from people being saying it has helped.

We've got one and I'd say it helps. Had soft tissue injury to my ankle but found it help eliminate the dull aches that I kept having.

Have you considered acupuncture? I had an issue with my Achilles tendon and it resolved it quickly.

I've had achilles problems too. It feels that they will never go away. Providing you don't over-stretch it, it will get better, but unfortunately, takes months.
I used to use a Rhenfo massager and found that helped.
Just hang on in there. I hope you're back to normal very soon.
