Circulation boosters

Posted: Wed 13 Apr 2016 @ 22:59 by

Does any one have any experience of electrical circulation and muscle stimulators particularly the High Tech Health Circulation Booster and the Neuro Trac Sports stimulator.
I have been type 1 for 44 years and am now experiencing muscle loss and weakness in my calf muscles due to nerve problems and wondered if this type of machine would be beneficial. One review I read suggested that a brisk walk would be more beneficial but despite years of walking and cycling the weakness continues.Any replies much appreciated.
