Introduction
INTRODUCTION
Poor circulation is an increasingly common problem, which arises when there is limited
blood flow to the legs, hands, heart and rest of the body, either due to a medical condition
or the natural aging process. This decrease in circulation can lead to a cold feeling in the
extremities, tired, aching/ heavy legs and swelling of the feet.
This foot massager uses electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) applied primarily through
two large footpads to stimulate thousands of nerve endings in the soles of the feet to help
improve circulation. The physiological result is that the foot and calf muscles contract
and release, creating a pumping action. This action imitates the body’s natural circulatory
system of the leg such as when you walk. As the calf muscles contract blood is squeezed
into the deep vein of the leg and pushed towards the heart. This action effectively prevents
stasis (the pooling of blood) with a significant increase in venous blood flow. E.M.S is part
of a Transcutaneous Electro-Nerve Stimulation (T.E.N.S) family, which has been sold over
the counter in pharmacies for decades. Additional electrical pads are included with the
device to treat other areas of pain. There is a large body of clinical evidence supporting
T.E.N.S and E.M.S.
MAIN FUNCTIONS
1. Helps improve circulation by stimulating the nerve endings in the soles of your feet, also
helping to relieve fatigue and aches/pains.
2. Helps improve sleep: consistent nerve stimulation has been found to be beneficial to ones
mental and physical health.
3. Far-infrared function: It can release continual heat to warm cold feet and promote better
blood circulation.
