Have any of you used one of these machines?
Would you recommend it ? Husband has very sore legs and I have a sore knee.
Do you think it is worth £300?

I'm a GP...sorry but these gadgets are the modern equivalent of" snake oil ".
They can't possibly do anything apart from fleece you for a vast amount of cash.
Just because celebrities advocate them doesn't mean they work.
Ian Botham must be making a bomb from the advertising and that makes me so very angry 😠

The machine doesn’t seem to have done much to help Ian Botham, or Eamonn Holmes, who previously advertised them. It’s a big no from me.

Seeing very well-off celebrities advertising makes me cross too, mostly because there are struggling actors out there who would love to have the chance to make adverts in order to pay the bills.

Would I be persuaded to buy anything because Judi Dench, Johnny Depp, Ian Botham, some pop star, whoever are advertising them? No, I'd be less likely to buy the products.

(George Clooney might be the exception 😁)

Brilliant for my night cramps. Used it a lot when I first got it, now only need a monthly session

We have a very old machine, it probably doesn’t do any permanent good but can be excellent for tight muscles and cramp.
