What is The Circulation Booster™?

The Circulation Booster™ is a class 2a medical therapeutic device that increases blood circulation by applying effective deep muscle stimulation to your feet and calf muscles.

"I have discovered ankles that I have not seen for 20 years!!" Mrs E. Coates

So simple to use and operate.

The Circulation Booster™ Home Device has been designed to be easy and simple to use. Place your feet on the foot pads, switch it on and select your settings! It even includes pads to target hard to reach areas.

Scientific evidence has shown that mild electrical muscle stimulation when applied to the feet can increase blood circulation significantly by activating all the muscles in the soles of the feet and calf.

With age or genetics, many people suffer narrowing or reduced elasticity of the veins. This restricts normal blood flow, regardless of how much exercise you do. Lack of mobility and poor blood flow can also be contributory factors in DVT. Thrombosis, which is when a clot is formed inside a blood vessel, usually occurs when the blood within a vein or artery alters from a liquid state, where the blood flow is normal, to a thicker state, which causes the blood flow rate to slow and could potentially develop a clot. If the clot develops within a major vein, this is known as DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis).

Circulation Booster™ – which one should I choose?

High Tech Health has developed two Circulation Booster™ devices; both will improve your circulation and alleviate your aches and pain, however, both have been designed to meet the needs of your lifestyle (you can purchase both – please see ‘products available’)

Circulation Booster™ Home:

* Designed specifically for use when you’re static (i.e. sitting down on your favourite chair or sofa)

* Comes with 6 electro pads to target hard to reach areas such as your knees, elbows or back...

* Various control settings to optimise your treatment programme

Circulation Booster™ Mobile:

* Designed specifically when you’re either on the move (you can actually activate the device while at work, in the garden or on a plane)

* Or while you’re relaxing with your feet up on a footstool, lying in bed reading a book or in your conservatory watering your plants – the choice is yours.

We recommend you purchase both, if possible, to get the maximum benefits because there will be times when you’re either sitting in a static position or you’re on the go!

Please go to ‘products available’ for option choices.

Dr Chris Steel explains how the Circulation Booster™ Mobile works

“This (Circulation Booster™) helps the muscles to contract. When the muscles contract they push the blood up the veins. The veins have valves to stop the blood flowing to reduce the risk of DVT and also the risk of a serious condition called Pulmonary Embolism where the clot moves from the legs to the lungs. This is an excellent idea…”

Therapeutic muscle stimulation:

The Circulation Booster™ Home performs therapeutic muscle stimulation which is easy-to-do. Applied through its large foot pads, The Circulation Booster™ Home has been proven to give you all the benefits of improved blood circulation fast.

How The Circulation Booster™ increases your blood circulation

• The Circulation Booster™ has two large foot pads to place your feet and easy-to-use controls to personalise the level of muscle stimulation.
• Simply plug The Circulation Booster™ into the mains, place both your feet on the large foot pads and find a comfortable setting.
• Mild electrical impulses will stimulate the thousands of nerve endings in the soles of your feet, feeling like a pleasant “tingling”. This in turn works the muscles of the calf much like gentle exercise.
• Immediately the blood is circulated throughout the foot and pumped back up through the legs, improving your blood circulation and reducing fluid retention around the ankles.
• With regular use of The Circulation Booster™, you will experience a significant improvement in blood circulation and reduced swelling within 4 weeks.

What results can you expect?

Clinical studies support this method of application. It has been shown that the use of muscle stimulation of the feet, as well as the calf, can:

• reduce foot and ankle swelling*
• increases blood flow throughout the lower limbs thereby reducing the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT)**
• increase pain-free walking associated with arthritis, neuropathy or circulation disorders***

By using The Circulation Booster™ regularly, you will experience the benefits of improved circulation and general wellbeing.

Target specific areas: Circulation Booster™ Home

The Circulation Booster™ also includes six electrode pads (which are similar to traditional TENS pads). You can use these to target points of pain such as sore knees or an aching back, or apply the pads to acupressure points. You can also use this facility to tone specific muscle groups.

You can easily manage the intensity and duration of each treatment using the remote control.
