Put a tingle in your toes and keep thrombosis at bay
We can now add long working hours at ‘desk jobs’ to the long list of factors that may increase risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
Most people are aware of the possible risks of DVT associated with air travel or any long, cramped coach, car or train journeys, but now there seem to be dangers associated with being glued to a computer or TV screen for hours on end – so-called e-thrombosis. Recently published research suggests this can present an even higher risk than flying**
Professor Richard Beasley of New Zealand’s Wellington Hospital found that workers glued to computer screens are at greater risk of blood clots forming in their legs than long-distance air travellers. His team’s study looked at a group of patients admitted to hospital with blood clots and heart problems and found that 34% (a far higher figure than the range reported for airline related DVT) had been seated at work for long periods.
“There are considerably more people who are seated for long periods at work as part of their normal day than there are travelling”. He added that the main groups particularly affected are workers in the IT industry and call centres and further commented “people are working for so long. We had people not uncommonly working up to 12-14 hours a day and being seated for that time. Both the maximum time seated at work during a 24hr period and the maximum time seated without getting up were associated with an increased risk of VTE*”.
The study found that each additional hour spent sitting without getting up increased the likelihood of blood clots by 20%.
The simple solution to this problem is the Circulation Booster from High Tech Health. Simply keep one under your desk and use it as a great foot rest. Then, one or twice a day, switch it on and let the “tingle” work its magic.
The Circulation Booster sends out mild electrical impulses which stimulate the thousands of nerve endings in the soles of the 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 blood circulation and reducing fluid retention around the ankles. Regular use of the Circulation Booster™ significantly improves blood circulation and reduces swelling. The device has two large comfy foot pads to put your feet on and easy-to-use controls to personalise the level of muscle stimulation.
One of the UK’s leading vascular experts, well known Consultant Surgeon Mr Mark Whiteley MS FRCS(Gen), says: “We have tested and used the Circulation Booster and have found it to be very effective at stimulating the muscles of the calf and lower leg, causing a very good increase in blood flow. I am so impressed that I will be using it myself”.
It has been clinically proven that the use of muscle stimulation of the foot, as well as the calf, can:
• Prevent venous stasis (stoppage of blood flow) thereby lowering the risk of developing DVT and pulmonary embolism
• Improve circulation and reduce pain and swelling
• Improve muscle strength and reduce wastage
• Increase energy levels and reduce stress
• Improve well-being and mobility
• Alleviate tired and aching legs
Dr Anders Cohen, Consultant, Kings College Hospital London says:
“It is well known that electrical stimulation has a positive effect on circulation in the legs, but obviously such devices have not been previously available to the public. If we can prevent DVT and pulmonary embolisms by using such devices, it is a good idea. There are still too many people dying from travel-related DVT”.
* DVT = Deep Vein Thrombosis – a blood clot (thrombus) developing in a deep vein of the legs
*VTE = Venous ThromboEmbolism – when a thrombus breaks away from the vessel wall and flows in the blood and blocks a blood vessel it cannot pass through – this is particularly dangerous/life-threatening when occurring in the lungs (a condition called PE – pulmonary embolism)

"Electric sock treatment to help beat DVT" by Martyn Halle, 3 April 2007

“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…”
Overcome Sport Injuries More Quickly With The Circulation Booster™
Improving blood flow increases the amount of oxygen that reaches cells, toxic wastes are removed more efficiently, muscle and joint pain is relieved, and the natural healing processes are stimulated and general health and well being is enhanced.
The Circulation Booster does just that. 30 minutes a day can significantly improve blood circulation which in turn helps wounds to heal and relieves joint inflammation and sprains.
Henk Vogels, Australia’s most successful road cyclist, and member of the Davitamon Lotto team, based in Belgium, uses Circulation Booster as part of his fitness routine to remove lactic acid in his muscles and promote quicker recovery. Henk is a superb role model, not just for cyclists but for anyone who has realised major setbacks due to injury – his near fatal crash resulted in a broken neck and smashed ankle, he fully endorses the healing benefits of Circulation Booster.
Applied through up to 6 electrode pads or foot pads, Circulation Booster can be used to target specific points of pain such as sore knees, back pain strained muscles, and swollen joints. Based on traditional reflexology and acupuncture theories it uses medically approved static currents and a series of varying waveforms to stimulate reflex zones, nerves, acupressure points muscles and capillaries. Using the remote control you can control the intensity and duration of the therapy.
By stimulating the nerve reflexes and increasing blood circulation you also enhance the body’s immune system, the Circulation Booster has been proven to penetrate deeper and stimulate stronger reflexes. The healing process is faster, getting sportsmen and women back in action more quickly.
One user sustained an ankle injury on the rugby pitch, he comments ‘I have suffered before with a sprained ankle, it’s my weak point. My girlfriend bought me a Circulation Booster – I was sceptical. After just 3 days of 30 minutes a day it was significantly better and I was back on the pitch in 2 weeks when I expected to be out for at least 4. I don’t know how it works, but it’s amazing!’
Increased circulation improves mobility in the majority of users, and helps to alleviate cramps, restless leg syndrome, swollen ankles and general leg, calf and foot aches and pains. It also helps relieve tension and stress, and enables the body’s natural healing power, helping users to relax and benefit from better quality sleep. Better circulation reduces fluid retention, relieves pain and enhances general wellbeing.
