Circulation Booster Advanced

Tingling and soreness after using revitive



1 answer
Revitive
Revitive M.Revitive

Hi Vittorio V.

It might be a good idea to give our Customer Service Team a call to discuss - they may ask you for some more details. For example, have you been using Revitive for long? Is this sensation new? How many sessions per day are you having? Do you find the intensity to be too high?

If you are new to using Revitive, we do recommend that you start of on a low intensity and begin with shorter sessions. Sometimes if you can experience some muscle fatigue if you use it for too long or at an intensity that may be too high as your muscles are getting used to the increased activity.

If you can give us a call we may be able to offer some more advice. 07 5443 9767

I used an ema foot machine but only feel the pulses in my left foot. I fee this is not normal at all?

1 answer

Revitive M.Revitive

Hi Jeff Miku G.

Is it a Reviitive Circulation Booster that you are using? If so, it is not uncommon to experience a slightly different intensity from one side to the other. If the difference is dramatic, it would probably be a good idea to have a chat with your doctor to see if there is any medical reason behind the lower sensation.



The fact that you can feel it on one side means the Revitive device itself is working (it cannot work without a circuit so if one side wasn't working, the other side would not work either).

I hope this helps. If you have any further questions about your Revitive, please feel free to contact our Customer Service team on 07 5443 9767

numb toes is it good to use circulation booster

Revitive
Revitive M.Revitive

Hi falzonsylvia8

There are many various reasons why you may experience numbness in the feet and toes. It would be good to have a better understanding of the underlying cause of this numbness. If it is a general circulation issue Revitive may assist in boosting the flow of oxygen rich blood around the lower legs - which may help.

Revitive is also known to assist with neuropathy (numbness and tingling) that is caused by diabetes (diabetic peripheral neuropathy).

If the numbness is caused from another condition it would depend on the specific condition. If we can offer more information please feel free to have a chat with our Customer Service team on 07 5443 9767

My unit does not seem to work on right leg? It used to feel stronger but seems mild now. I can only set it for 30 and 10/10? Can I improve that?

Revitive M.Revitive

Hi AntoinetteJ,

Are you finding that you cannot feel the sensation at all on the right leg or it is a lower sensation? It is not unusual to have to increase the intensity over time as you get used to the stimulation, but it does tend to level out after a while.

I'm not 100% clear on the settings you are asking about - would it be possible for you to give our Customer Service number a call - it may be easier to have a quick chat to determine what is happening. Below is our phone number and email address - if you prefer for us to call you, please send us an email with your best number.

Jimasked

Circulation Booster Advanced

Revitive doesn’t rock after 40 minutes at setting 60. Any suggestions?

1 answer
Revitive
Revitive M.Revitive

Hi Jim,

The IsoRocker gently allows ankle joint movement, replicating heel-toe raises as the leg muscles contract and relax, without placing undue pressure on legs and feet. The device itself does not rock - it is the muscles in your legs that cause the involuntary rocking.

There is a flap on the back of the device that acts as a disabler - it is worth checking that this is not open (to use the IsoRocker it should be flush against the back of the device).

The IsoRocker rocks when increased to an intensity which causes sufficient calf muscle contraction. When this happens you see your toes will dip slightly to cause the rocking motion. It may be that you need to increase the intensity a little more to achieve strong enough contractions to activate the rocker. If however, intensity 60 is as high as you can comfortably go, do not increase further. The stimulation should not be uncomfortable and certainly not cause any pain. It is OK to use Revitive without the IsoRocker action - if you are achieving muscle contractions you will still be getting those leg muscles pumping.

Hi Sandra am not qualified to answer your question- I would refer to manufacture- I have used pads on my arthritic knee and feel a positive experience

Revitive
Revitive M.Revitive

Hi Sandra D,

REVITIVE is suitable to use with a metallic implant. There is a small chance that the sensation may feel more intense close to a metallic implant. It is safe to continue use provided no pain is experienced. You may need to adjust the intensity to a comfortable level.

If the knee replacement surgery was recent (within the last 6 months) we suggest you use cautiously as stimulation may disrupt your healing process. If you have any doubt please check with your doctor before proceeding.

If we can be of any further assistance, our customer service team can be contacted on 07 5443 9767

tottieasked

Circulation Booster Advanced

my right leg seems to react a lot more than the left, is this normal...??

3 answers
Revitive
Revitive M.Revitive

Hi tottie,

Thanks for reaching out. Both feet and legs are rarely exactly the same and the nerves in one foot or leg may be more sensitive than the other. We recommend that you set the intensity to a level that is comfortable in the more sensitive foot. The other foot will still be receiving the EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) despite the lower sensation.

If you feel the difference in sensation is dramatic, you may consider having a chat to your doctor to ensure there is no underlying cause for the difference. Another reason may have been a previous injury or trauma to one leg that may account for a difference in sensation.

I hope this helps. If you wish to discuss further, please feel free to contact our Customer Service team (07 5443 9767).

Warm Regards,
Actegy Health

Hi Tottie my right leg is also more responsive- legs (r-l legs) will be different physiologically- muscle mass - blood supply - nerve and muscle receptors etc - this will be due dominant eye and hand-preference -ie right arm bigger muscular for right handlers - incidentally this is a component in scoliotic curve of the spine - my thought would be reduce the current just a little but manufacturers would be upto date with this- kind regards kevin

Hi Judy,

REVITIVE has been shown to assist with Osteoarthritis of the knee. If this is a particular concern for you, we would encourage you to consider the REVITIVE Osteoarthritis-Knee model - this comes with specific thigh pads and a unique arthritis mode that is designed to assist with the condition. Results vary from person-to-person so it is impossible to say for sure that it will work for everyone. We do offer a 60-day Money Back trial period so if you find that after a few weeks of use, it is not working for you, we will refund your purchase (minus $29.95 which covers the return of the device to us).

You can read more information here - https://www.revitive.com.au/osteoarthritis

Hi Al S.

We would not recommend that you open the unit yourself - this will void your warranty. If you give our Customer Service team a call, they may be able to ascertain the issue on the phone. It is possibly the power adaptor which is a quick and easy fix or the port that the adaptor fits into. Our team can be contacted on 07 5443 9767.

Hi, There is no more warranty left. Checked the power adaptor and it is fine 4.99 volts out. The problem is the port that the adaptor fits into. Jiggling some times gets it to work. Loose connection???

Revitive
Revitive M.Revitive

Hi Again,

Best idea is to give the customer service team a call so they can help determine the best course of action. From what I'm told, if the port is the issue you may need a new part. Chatting to the service team will shed some further light as they are trained to assist with technical issues.
