Understanding a Foot Circulation Machine
The Medi-Boost foot circulation machine is a cutting-edge wellness device designed to enhance blood flow, relieve discomfort, and promote overall relaxation in the lower extremities, including the feet, ankles, and legs. Utilising advanced technology, it provides a non-invasive solution for individuals suffering from conditions such as poor circulation, muscle stiffness, or chronic foot pain.
At the core of the Medi-Boost's functionality is its ability to deliver gentle electrical impulses through strategically positioned pads located beneath the feet. These impulses are specifically calibrated to stimulate sensory nerves, which can help interrupt pain signals sent to the brain, thereby offering a soothing, therapeutic effect. This method of pain management is especially beneficial for individuals with neuropathy, plantar fasciitis, swollen ankles, ankle pain, or other nerve-related discomforts.
In addition to nerve stimulation, the Medi-Boost is equipped with Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) capabilities. EMS involves the application of low-frequency electrical pulses that cause muscles to contract and relax rhythmically. These controlled contractions mimic natural movements that occur during physical activity, enhancing blood circulation, improving muscle tone, increasing flexibility, and accelerating the recovery process after injury or strain. Over time, consistent use of EMS may also help reduce swelling, alleviate fatigue, and support the health of veins and arteries in the legs.
How to Use a Foot Circulation Machine
The Medi-Boost foot circulation machine arrives conveniently packaged as a single, all-in-one unit with the remote control securely attached to its center for easy access.
To begin, place the machine on a flat, stable surface such as the floor, ensuring the remote remains centered in its designated compartment. Position the device so that the foot pads, clearly marked for left and right feet, are facing upward. Once in place, simply rest your bare feet on the textured pads, aligning them with the designated foot outlines for optimal contact. Before use, make sure to clean the bottoms of your feet according to the provided instructions.
Gently retrieve the remote control from the center housing of the unit. To power on the Medi-Boost, press the 'On' button located just below the central compartment. Once activated, use the remote to explore various operation modes and adjust the intensity level to suit your comfort and therapeutic needs. The machine offers a range of customisable settings, from mild stimulation for relaxation to stronger pulses for deeper muscle engagement and pain relief.
In addition to foot therapy, the Medi-Boost includes electrode pads that can be applied to other areas of the body, such as the back, shoulders, arms, or thighs. These pads deliver targeted electrical stimulation and TENS therapy, making the Medi-Boost a versatile tool for full-body treatment. With two independent stimulation channels, you can treat multiple areas simultaneously at different intensity levels.
Do Foot Circulation Machines Improve Blood Circulation?
Yes, foot circulation machines are known to improve blood circulation in the lower extremities. They typically utilise TENS and EMS therapy, both of which offer various circulation-related benefits.

How can they help?
Supporting certain conditions: These machines can benefit individuals with diabetes, neuropathy, or chronic venous insufficiency by improving microcirculation, which may reduce numbness, tingling, and cold sensations.
Reducing fluid retention and swelling: Improved circulation helps minimise swelling and prevents fluid build-up, common for those who sit or stand for extended periods.
Stimulating blood flow: EMS mimics muscle activity through rhythmic contractions, encouraging blood flow, ideal for people with limited mobility or sedentary lifestyles.
Do EMS Foot Massagers Work?
EMS machines, especially foot massagers, effectively stimulate muscles in the feet and lower legs, aiding in muscle contraction and relaxation.
This therapy strengthens muscles and enhances blood flow, reducing swelling and discomfort—ideal for individuals with circulation issues or those needing muscle recovery after physical activity.
How Does TENS Work on the Machine?
TENS machines transmit electrical impulses through electrodes placed on the skin, disrupting pain signals sent to the brain.
The Medi-Boost strategically places electrodes on foot pads to optimise pain relief and relaxation, especially for conditions like plantar fasciitis and neuropathy.
