Revitive machine
Discussion
I have very bad knees, had surgery, not replacement, and also some circulation issues, has anyone got one, and does it help, i dont want to buy one and find it useless.
I have osteoarthritis so any help would be worth it.
So any feed back from real users would be great.
Also i only say revitive as the are all over the tv with adds, are the cheaper ones worth it. The cinic im me thinks that the price is paying for the advertising not the product.

I'm watching this with interest.
I have had right leg total knee replacement May 2023 and left leg TKR May 2004. In between I've developed mild peripheral neuropathy. So, one of these devices has been on my radar for a while. They look effective but personal experiences are always best, of course.

I bought one for my mother a few years ago as she'd been looking at them but was never going to buy one herself due to the cost. She used it a few times to improve the circulation in her legs but it never became a regular thing for her. Mum passed away a couple of years ago and I have the thing boxed and was planning on putting it on ebay if I ever get around to it.
What part of the country are you in? If you're anywhere near me, you could borrow it and see if it works for you? I have no idea how effective it is at whatever it's supposed to do. I've used it myself on a couple of occasions and it definitely exercises the leg muscles. I'm not sure if it's any better for you than just going for a walk though.

I see they sell them here, so may just get one and see if it does anything.

Why not take a look at the reviews on trust pilot or Amazon.
I’m not convinced with the reliability of some reviews with the prevalence of bots and agencies that give good reviews. Facebook is full of products and the first response is always how wonderful the product is. My friends business is approached all the time and offered lots of good reviews.

My O/H has neuropathy in her legs and now uses crutches to walk. Her NHS physiotherapist has told her that diabetics shouldn't use a Revitive machine (O/H is Type 2) but the next time her physio calls (Tuesday I think) I'll ask about 'normal' people.
Interestingly I found a recent pilot that's show promising results using NMES in diabetic polyneuropathy...https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38422719/
