Circulation Plus targets and exercises the muscles of the lower legs, helping to tone and strengthen them. With regular use, these benefits can be maintained over time. In addition to stimulating the muscles, the rhythmic contractions also activate the venous return through a process called the skeletal muscle pump. This pump action, which also occurs during activities like walking, helps return blood form the legs to the body and heart. The best part is that you dont need to focus on this, it happens automatically. While Circulation Plus should not replace regular exercise, it offers a way to exercise and stimulate the muscles of your lower legs and feet while seated, something that may be beneficial for those who spend a lot of time sitting or lead a sedentary lifestyle. With three simple programs, 99 intensity levels, and a convenient remote control, Circulation Plus Active is easy to use. Its compact design allows for easy storage, even under furniture. Circulation Plus uses gentle Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) to repeatedly contract and relax the muscles in the lower legs and feet. The repeated contraction and relaxation of the muscles in turn activates the muscle pump action, which may help boost blood flow and blood circulation. Programmes: 1: A deeply stimulating rhythmic contraction to both feet/legs at the same time, comprising six seconds of pulses followed by a one second pause. 2: A deeply stimulating rhythmic contraction to one leg/foot followed by the other. There are six seconds of pulses followed by a one second pause. 3: Features nine different stimulation modes. Each runs for forty five seconds and are then repeated over the 25 minute run time. Not suitable for anyone fitted with a heart pacemaker. | Bodi-Tek Circulation Plus Active Lower Leg Exerciser & Foot Massager in White
