Hints and Tips for using your Circulation Booster^® v3

30 minute programme

The Circulation Booster® is pre-set to run for 30 minutes and rotate through a series of different programmes each minute. To alter the time duration of the treatment, use the ‘+’ or ‘-‘ buttons next to ‘TIME’ on the device control panel or the remote control.

Personalised settings

If during the 30 minute pre-set treatment you find a particular wave pattern is preferred, you can choose to keep that pattern constantly running by pressing the ‘AUTO’ button on the device or remote control. This will turn off the auto programme. Be careful not to over simulate the muscle by using it longer the 30 minutes.

Mute button

As the Circulation Booster® moves through the 30 minute auto programme it bleeps once as the next wave pattern starts. To mute this bleeping, press the MUTE button on the remote control.

Bare feet

For the Circulation Booster® to work it is critical to remove stockings, tights and socks and place both bare feet on the footpads.

Big feet, little feet

It doesn’t matter if your feet are too big/small for the footpads. It will work in the same way wherever you place your feet on the footpads. Just ensure that as much of your feet are touching the footpads as possible and that the plantar fascia (the thick connective tissue which supports the arch on the bottom of the foot) is firmly on the footpad.

Create a circuit

For the Circulation Booster® to work you must place both bare feet on the footpads (left foot on the left footpad and right foot on the right footpad). This creates a circuit and you will feel the impulses through your feet and legs.

Hydration

The device uses your body to create an electrical circuit. Water is an excellent conductor of electricity and if your body is less hydrated (below 60%) then the stimulation may be less. Therefore it is important to keep well hydrated. You should drink plenty of water before and after using the device.

Dry feet

If you have dry feet this could create a barrier to the connectivity. We recommended you moisturise your feet with our Reviving Foot and Leg Gel. This is a water based gel which improves conductivity or alternatively any over the counter heel balm will have the same affect.

Hand test

Some days your feet may be less sensitive than others and you might not be able to feel the stimulation on the same level. To test the electrical stimulation through the footpads you can use what we call the ‘Hand Test’. Place both hands at the same time on each of the foot pads (left hand on the left footpad and right hand on the right footpad). Increase the ‘SOLE’ intensity up in increments of 10 until you can feel then stimulation. If you can feel the stimulation through your hands then you know it’s working correctly. Place your feet back on the footpads and simply turn up the intensity until you can feel the stimulation.

Cleaning your Circulation Booster®

Firstly, please ensure the Circulation Booster® is switched off. Use a soft, damp soapy cloth to clean the foot pads. Do not use any form of liquid cleaner.

TENS Body Pads Proctors

To protect the TENS Body Pads use the plastic protectors to keep them clean and help retain their adhesiveness as long as possible.

TENS Body Pads stickiness

The electrode pads will eventually deteriorate with regular use. A nice trick to extend their life is to dab a small drop of water onto the sticky side of the electrode pad and rub into the surface. This should improve the adhesiveness. You can replace your TENS Body Pads for only £9.99 visit our Accessories page.

Painful hands

The Circulation Booster® Gloves are designed to provide targeted relief for hands when used with the Circulation Booster®. The gloves will give your hands the same benefit that the Circulation Booster® provides for your feet. Gloves are available in large or small sizes.
