- I give this machine a 10/10 .. have suffered from painful nocturnal leg calf cramps/spasms/charlie horses all my life & since using this machine 30 minutes/day, they have all been eliminated. No more night time cramps. I've tried everything .. drinking water at night, stretching, magnesium, potassium, calcium, supplements, bananas, tonic water, quinine pills & various other natural remedies, but to no avail .. this machine is the first & only thing I've found to work for me.

My dad who is extremely inactive got one and he loves it.
I’m gonna get one of these ASAP I’ve had 3 back surgeries and I hurt so bad 😢Thank you very much .
Yes I agree!
I would also give this machine 10 out of 10.
I am a big man and my legs are so big and they hurt and I to have pain at night and all the time actually.
But yesterday I went out at got this machine and now after only 4 times 30 minutes of use,I feel a massive improvement.
This morning for the first time in over 10 years,I could walk up the stairs in a normal way and not one step at a time as
I use to do and I have no pain in my legs what so ever.
This is one of those very rare times,where a produkt actually does what the commercials say.
I do need the machine to be on 80-85% before I can feel it work though.
So yes!
I will recommend this produkt 100% I only wish I had got one a long time ago.
greetings from a very happy revitive owner in Denmark. :=)
Please tell me this is an honest review and not a bait thing. I truly need something like this!
Please let it be so!!!
@@RedmanChronic it's true. I have severe circulation problems. Rheumatoid Arthritis, swollen feet, ankles, souls of the foot, severe calf and knee pain, restless legs. This machine is unbelievably therapeutic. Reduces the pain and helps with swelling. This 100% works. I also use this on the higher setting at 80%-90%. You will fell like some one has literally climbed in to your joints and given you a deep tissue massage. I am actually using this as we speak.
But one thing to note is, you must use it regularly. You won't regret investing in one of these.
Covid killer. 80% hospitalizations obese. If walking heart people aren't going to do it. Really annoys me simple solutions (or part of one) aren't promoted. Amazed vitamin co pays arent advertising like gang busters after seeing all experts saying covid related to low Votamin D etc.
Thanks for the personal review, I spend to many hours sitting down in the office and now I'm getting cramps all the time. I never had a great leg circulation but now is just getting worse. I will buy this product
+Val4ever22 How are thing going since you got one of these?
+Rob Freeman Not bad, I've been using it for two and a half months now, every day when I come back from work and I have to say it has improve a lot. My legs do not feel tired and heavy in the mornings anymore and I'm able to spend more hours seating in the office without pain. I'm happy with it!
I bought one of these in a sale :) its really nice, different to the cheap machines
My toes have slowly been feeling more numb over the last 2 years and I decided to try this device. After 1 session I could feel the effect was moving in the right direction. After a few sessions there was clearly a benefit happening. WOW. I'm convinced it promotes circulation as advertised. BUT, I also noted a side effect that I want to warn about. Since the device is basically electronically contracting your foot and calf muscles to promote better circulation, it also seems to (in a very small way) to contract your bowels as well. SO, my advice to anyone using for the first time is: clear you bowels before using this in order to reduce the discomfort of the need to "go" while in session. You get the idea. Otherwise I'm quite impressed with the results in such a short period after using this for the first few days. I'm convinced that regular use will be very helpful in recovering the feeling back in my feet.
PS I also find that taking a walk after the session helps promote further recovery of the blood circulation process. Good Luck and Good Health!
Grim. I’ve had them too. Acupuncture solves it (for three weeks). According to my Chinese Dr it is a gastrointestinal problem. 🤷🏻♂️ Relieved to find something that works naturally.
Thank God You warned me about the wanting to go thing!!
Delighted to see this review. I suffer from calf cramps and it cannot be stressed enough how indescribably painful they are. Sheer agony at times. If this can relieve the torture or even drastically reduce it, I'm in.
Orian 235 please take magnesium 500 mg at night before bed your cramps will go away
I agree with the magnesium 100%>
Y do u get them?
Its a work out easy to do and can take it slow levels from 1 to 99. 99 feels like almost tears tendon off the bone lol. Point is skys the limit, big peice to making a walking habit. This has improved my balance
This machine stimulated the muscle that made my toes curl under - the same as what happens when wearing flip flops as your toes grip to hold them in place
GOOD REVIEW THANKS.
Good video thanks for the review, my legs muscles are weak, so I'm thinking this could, cheers 👍
For leg cramps, I take 500 mg of magnesium per day and no cramps. However, if I eat or drink food containing calcium, I can get some nasty leg cramps. Calcium causes muscles to contract and magnesium relaxes them.
Why take a cheap supplement when you can spend hundreds on a fancy machine 🤣
Like milk? Never heard that. When do people get calf cramps? Only had them when swimming laps
@@nikitaw1982 I was painting on a ladder ..up & down all day ..that night I had bad calf cramps ..
Also Next day O also got forearm cramps ..also a result from painting ..my guess is , if are not a painter , and take on a job that you are not familiar with ..you over work the muscles ..and pay for it later on
I'm a diabetic with very poor blood circulation and nerve damage in both soles of my feet due to Diabetes. In bed my feet feel like ice blocks no matter how many pairs of socks i put on to keep them warm. Sometimes i cant get to sleep because of it. I heard about this machine and was initially put off by the price (its not particularly cheap) but I saw them on special at a local store so I thought "What the hell" and purchased one. Quite simply the "BEST" thing i've ever spent money on, I can feel the electrical impulses going through my feet and up my legs, after the first two uses my feet were much better, I can walk easier, it has totally eradicated the constant pins & needles I always had and my feet don't feel cold in bed anymore. Take it from me, I am the most cynical person around and I dont like parting with money unless Im getting something good for it but I 100% Recommend this machine to anyone who has poor blood circulation or cramps in their feet and legs. As the other person said "A product that actually does what it claims" trust me , you won't be disappointed.
I have Neuropathy as well, This is what I was wanting to here!! Do you use it every day?
Yes, 30minutes , twice a day........He's actually got that on a very high setting my setting is around 60-65
Diabetic need some therapy with some megnetic power to activate the iron element of blood.
Allen Shieh really? What do suggest? My mom suffers so much and I want to help her..it's mostly from her diabetes.
we all have experence that if we enjoy a Hot Spring Bath,if you do it too long,we feel our heart is upset and some dizzy because we are in low blood sugar .so we are suggested to prepare some food or eat some food before we take the Hot Spring bath. Heating make this. you can search on Amazon or Aliexpress ,such as Megnetic heating EMS circulation booster. In China,more and more diabetic choose Physical therapy.and it works very well.If you are in China,then there is more options
I have diagnosed claudication (Claudication is pain caused by too little blood flow, usually during exercise. Sometimes called intermittent claudication, this condition generally affects the blood vessels in the legs, but claudication can affect the arms, too) and take medications but they don't help me at all - would this be good for relieving the dull pain in my calf and feet? I really do get the cramps too. Also how does one use the electrodes and pads? Is there an instruction manual that comes with this product?... Sounds like a silly question but you'd be surprised that at least one other product I used didn't have one and although the lights came on it didn't even work.
You are up at 90?! :O 18 does that same for me on the same model. I use the conducting gel though so maybe that makes a big difference. I also suffer from bad calf cramps and this machine has helped heaps
Thank you for the video. I just ordered myself one. I have been dealing with multiple sclerosis for 30 years now electrostimulation always is great for me I am looking forward to this item I hope it will be beneficial I also suffer from the cramps.
As well as numbness and pain.
Hi, I’ve just bought one and my brother has had MS for around 10 years, is it any good?
WOW 2015? I saw something similar from Dr Ho.
Just recently bought this ,having (age 63) swollen legs. What I'm searching for though, is a device that vibrates. Remembering from my childhood ,when walking for a day at the zoo or some other park , you sometimes had these vibrating iron plates against tired feet. Always found these things a treat. Recently bought some battery operated vibrating cushion, but that was too flimsy.
Just can't seem to find a solid vibrating apparatus for one's feet.....Sitting hours at the PC is not very advisable for swollen legs ofcourse...
+PAULLONDEN Check out vibration plates on Amazon
Paul have you heard of the vibrating platform.? It is exactly as what you have mentioned. I have had one for about 7 years now. It's fantastic.
I get lots of help using Magnesium for my leg cramps. Fixed my leg cramps.
I got one first one's out couldn't feel anything have go high over 100 b4 feel anything nothing like this one you have then l was TOLD it NOT good people had heart problems
Thanks l give it another go cramps are horrible painful
Thank you
I GLAD l caught your experience on Utube
i have a pacemaker-defibrillator. and my cardiologist called me about signals showing up via my home pacemaker transmitter. i was advised today not nto use the revitive circulation booster anymore for fear of it causing my defibrillator to activate..sadly, i will return it tomorow. I really enjoyed it and i think I benefited and only after 2 weeks of use. those with only a pacemaker may not be affected
It says on the instructions before you buy it that people with pacemakers should NOT use this product!!
I suffer from MS aka Multiple Sclerosis (and i mean it when i say suffer ) and Iam in constant pain all day every day with my legs and feet. My muscles cramp like crazy and i get alot of nerve pain throughout my legs and feet in which no medication, exercise (i cant even walk much) or specific diet etc help in any way and I've seen many vids etc showing how well this works for pain etc. I also have extremely bad circulation in my legs and heaps of numbness (except for pain) so i thought maybe this circulation booster might be worth a try. According to many people, it sure has helped them in many ways and its not just some fake testimonials on commercials or internet etc. Whilst it is expensive for me, iam willing to give it a go so here's to hoping! :) Happy for y'all whom found it has worked! :)
Tam Highett ----I would like to know if you purchased the machine and has it worked for your situation. I'm asking because I've developed a syndrome called, spinal stenosis and some form of pain and numbness, in my back which causes great hardship in walking, even with powerful meds and physical therapy. So if this thing works for you I might be inclined to try it
I hope you've gotten some relief from it if you purchased it.
I suffer from restless leg syndrome along with Spondylitis and Spinal Stenosis. I'm in therapy, but if this thing works and I could take it with me that would be great. Please let me know. Because right now walking is torture.
Did it work?
Just curious have you tried this product yet I have ms to . Thanks
Hi.. does it work for foot tendonitis. . Thx
I swear by this also! Spray water onto your feet before use and u don't have to use such a high setting. Fantastic machine!!
According to the companies website (or I may of seen it on their Facebook group) they warn against wetting your feet with water before use!
From a medical standpoint, there is absolutely no reason why these machines WOULDN'T work. They are particularly beneficial for Type 2 diabetics who suffer from PAD or PVD, or a general reduction in peripheral circulation from the knees down. I would however, strongly advise diabetes sufferers to monitor their blood glucose levels a little more closely when first using circulation boosters (for the first week or so), as the increased circulation can cause mild hypoglycemia in some people, and so they may have to reduce their insulin levels as a result. Incidentally, I'm not at all sure about the comment someone made about circulation boosters having an alleged side-effect of contracting the bowel (sorry Mr Waters!) but this could only ever be psychosomatic, as the nerve groups controlling the lower extremities have no contact with, and thus cannot impinge upon the nerve groups controlling the bowel or bladder. As an aside by the way, the name of this particular machine is the _'Revitive 9'_ with 8 previous models having been marketed prior to this one. The _'IX'_ in the name are simply the Roman numerals for the number 9. As in 'Rocky IV' or the QE II.
Covid killer? Whole country going through hell when covid almost a sympto of obesity and inactivity. Gov could issue one to every house with diabetics and obesity and watch hospiyslizations drop. Im interested in affect if all obese people started day with bullet proof coffee. Butter and good fats blended with hot coffee. Appetite satiated, bowels probably activated and caffeine gets them moving. Arent going to get them mpving and cutting bad habits easy only adding simple ones, especially if talking millions of people. Rather pay for revitive in fat peoples houses than mandating young and healthy get experimental vaccines.
@@nikitaw1982 Sorry Nikita, but I genuinely have no clue what any of that means. I only read, write and speak English, French and Spanish fluently. I don't even know what language you were attempting, or any point(s) you were trying to make? The only thing which you have made clear is that you know nothing about science, medicine, or what is good and/or bad for the human body. Take care.
if you have a pacemaker, check with your cardioligist...i tried revitive for about a week and i got a call from my doctor about unusual activity on my pacemaker..she advised me not to continue using since it could cause my defribillator to kick in. i returned to revitive with ra and got full credit.
Damn i was gonna bye one for my nan cus she has bad arthritis in her legs but she has a pacemaker so im glad i saw ur comment.
If you have a pacemaker they advise against using this device.
Why does Eamon and Ruth’s advert have the comments turned off. It’s got to be one the least convincing adverts ever. I hope they were well paid.
What about knees?
I'm getting this for my fiance for her bday
this looks like a great thing for me to have by me being a diabetic and by me having arthritis in my legs I think this would be very perfect for me I am going to order me one as soon as possible as soon as I get it I am going to take it out the box and start using it thanks for making this product.
How do you feel about that product now ? Is it working ?
Yes best to take it out of the box to use it
Does it get rid of calve and foot pain when you walk ?.
i can only feel the pulse on my right foot.any ideas why
Try liquid magnesium. Remag is what I use.
it works. I have lost the remote control somewhere. How do I order a new one?
Would you say this would work for a job where you walk between 13-18 miles a day. As it’s a new job I’m doing I have shin splints until I get used to the job
Does it help sciatica pain ???
I've been having undiagnosed Ankle and knee problem on my right leg for months now (on the waiting list to see a specialist) and my Mum got this for me from a friend today thinking it will help. I don't have spasms though.... Couldn't do any harm to my problem could it?
+ozboybrian I'm no expert, but in watching the vids from the company, it'll help people with circulation problems .. you might ask your Dr for advice on this, for yourself.
Can you use this after ankle surgery? I have just had cast off and can't walk as my joints are stiff
As an FYI, just got back from Australia .. 28 hours traveling, door to door .. my legs were jumping away & so restless, I knew it would be impossible to sleep ... I sat down & used the machine for 30 minutes while checking emails, etc & bingo, they were totally relaxed & I was able to get a good sleep ... it didn't do anything for the jet lag, though, LOL.
Is this thing worth the money or should I pass? I'd be using it for a good foot massage plus I do have diabetes which sucks but i cope with it.
001GenLee someone said try tonic water??? Look it up!!
Thank you so much for this review! I couldn't find many independent reviews so it was very helpful to find this. I've had night cramps for 30 years. I haven't tried my circulation booster yet but I'm dying to.
Can you tell me how often you use it? I'm going to try once in the morning and once before bed. I hope it helps me!
In the beginning I used it 3-4 times a week for 30 minutes pr day and sometime for 2 times 30 minutes a day,
and after 2-3 weeks I only have to use it 1-2 times a week to keep the effect,so it really does improve your legs
for long periods of time.
I normally use it in the afternoon,because it keeps my legs from hurting at night.
I really hope you will get a positive effect from this machine. :=)
+TattooedAussieChick ..... Twice a day for 30mins each time.....once in the morning, once in the evening.
+TattooedAussieChick I just use it once per day for 30 minutes when I'm sitting at my desk on the computer, doing business, emails, etc, so it really does not take up any extra time whatsoever.
Hi, please can you advise: Ive just brought my father in law's machine home (he passed away last year) and plugged it in, and put up the middle button (with the feet symbol) to 30, but nothing happened. Does that mean I need to crank it up real high before it does anything? And can you tell me what is the bottom button for, the one with the man symbol on it?
Yes, you will find that depending how dry the skin on your feet is, you may need a higher number to start feeling the tingling. If you take your socks off & the soles of your feet are slightly damp, the tingling will start at a lower number. You can purchase a gel from Revitive which will cause higher conductivity, or you could probably use any skin cream. So as you increase the number, the tingling gets stronger until it moves your feet back & forth in a rocking motion. You can adjust the strength or number until it suits you. The symbol of the man shows the strength settings for when you plug in optional pads that you can use on your back or shoulders for example to also give those muscles a workout to get them to relax.
I was wondering why nothing happened when I had socks on! Thanks for the explanation.
any lotion or even hair gel, for that matter, will increase connectivity
@@safi456 hi am thinking of purchasing one of these machines I have hot and cold symptoms under the soles of my feet I know that I have nerve damage I was wondering weather it might be good for me because it's a little bit expensive
@@ginashoukri5959 I don't have one yet, but I am going to order it tomorrow, after reading these wonderful comments. I would definitely guess that it would work for you as well. I have neuropathy in my feet and it sounds like that might be what you have. Try it and if it doesn't work for you, it sounds like you can return it.
Will it work without the remote?
How much is it
What does one of these things cost???
Does it work on swollen feet?
Leg cramps while sleeping are commonly caused by overbreathing.When you overbreathe CO2 levels drop and CO2 is a relaxant of smooth muscle .IF you want to test it .hold your breath about 10 times and then return to breathing less and through nose and as the CO2 restore the cramp will quickly disappear.Read about the Buteyko Method for more details.
Mark Callan _"Over breathing"???_
I need instruction book never got one
All of the below remedies work for some however my mag and pot are normal levels and my leg cramps in the upper part of the legs are caused by over exertion and sometimes dehydration. Years ago my aunt who also suffers from cramps told me to drink tonic water and then a number of years later my family doctor told me the same thing. Works like a charm and works in minutes. Just another alternative if anyone is interested. Certainly a lot safer than taking quinine pills.
nova gunn really tonic water??? My mom really suffers she's a diabetic and I wonder if that will work for her
Denise Harvey . Yes it works 100 %. My doctor who is retired now told me about it and when I told my Aunt she said she had been drinking tonic water for years for her leg cramps. Its wonderful how these older doctors know so much. Now, if your mom is a diabetic you should check to see if you can get a diet tonic water as there is 35 grams of sugar or more in one can. It is the quinine in the water that relaxes the muscles and because it is a low amount better for you than quinine pills. If I have a bad cramp, I grab a can as fast as I can, start drinking it and inconstantly walk around the house and usually before the can is completely finished my cramp is gone. Tell your mom good luck because I know how painful the cramps can be. In fact, if I have been really busy all day and my legs feel tired an heavy I try to ward off the cramps off by drinking a can just before I go to bed. So far so good, no cramps.
Hi there
Can you explain how to use the machine without the remote please? It’s been misplaced. Thank you
Hi,
Just use the - or + buttons.
+ increases an vice versa.
Times on the top.
Middle is for the foot pads.
Bottom is for the plug in pads.
Where do you have the pads on your legs?
My physiotherapist told me not on the bone.
You can place them vertically apart from each. I place them about 12”.
For leg cramps, go to Walmart, Walgreens, etc and by a bottle of Hyland's Leg Cramps tablets. My brother told me about this because I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night with thigh cramps, calf cramps, or both. I keep a bottle on my bedside table with a bottled water. If I wake up in pain, I pop 2 of these and the cramps are gone in 3-5 minutes. A bottle only costs about $6 and it does work.
Michael Smith Do you drink or use artificial sweeteners? BTW, pickle juice stops the cramp in 2 - 3 minutes.
do you feel the electrical current impulse in your sole? how is it?
Mone Alder depends on the settings it's pretty powerful at 30 but goes to 99
@@ARMEDPATRIOT757 99 would probably kill you. I am in pain at 30.
My mum can sit there an do max level on her feet everyday.
I bitch out at 30! Currently doing level 35 as i type an its insane.
Intensity changes multiple times, sometimes it feels like someone with mini drum sticks bashing my feet really quick an other times it feels like the skin between my sole an toes rips or the outter edge of my feet feels like its getting bitten by small ants 😄
The optional pads are great, depends on the body part but its normally level 50 to 99.
does this help blood circulation for people with varicose veins
I have absolutely no medical knowledge, but I have very bad circulation in my lower legs. I have found that this helps a lot. I'd recommend you start with it at a comfortable but active level until you get used to it and gradually increase the intensity. I've seen a few reactions where people have treated it as a pain level challenge and that is definitely not the point. As I said, it helps a lot, but I dont believe it cures the problem, but it helps a lot when used regularly. My legs and feet feel much better for some time after use. I hope this helps 🙂
Rob, hope you are well! In case you did not know, if you use reciprocal inhibition (utilize opposite set of muscles), one can stop a cramp within seconds. I.e. If at night you experience a cramping of your gastrocenemius and soleus muscles = calf musles, then utilize the opposing muscles, the ones opposite of the calf muscles in front (anterior) of the calf muscles, near the shin (tibialis anterior muscle) by using your hand and pressing down on the top of your foot of the same leg of the cramp. Then apply pressure to your hand by moving your foot up against your hand (you will be using your tibialis anterior muscles at this point). This should stop the cramp very quickly. Also, appropriate daily amounts of magnesium and potassium help with cramps as well.
How do I get it to start? It doesn't come on when I press the on turn button!!!
Did it end up helping cramps?
do you still use it and as it as good as you thought
Think of it as an exercise machine. Tenses majority muscles in feet and lower leg. And don't have to move around or think about it at all. No effort really other than sitting down and putting bare feet on it. Been using one daily for 3 weeks. Started level 40 now on level 70. I'm lucky I don't have any health problems but i do live in a hilly suburb and walking i feel no fatigue in calves going up hill and balance feels better doing things around the house. Staying with family and they have one they don't use as granpa has a pce maker now. Would be very interested to see what would do for obese people and covid hospitalizations if subsidised for people in risk category's.
Well it’s 6 yrs. later, do you still need it?
My mother has been using her for 5 plus years as she has bad blood circulation an swears by it, she can notice the difference when she hasnt used it.
She maxes out on the feet, i get to about level 30 an call it quits 😂
@@MrPjf16 that’s awesome, from the comments here, ppl are swearing by it. I sent this off to my sis that is having problems with sciatic nerve.
I'm late to the party here, I care for someone who has this and she lost the manual and I cannot find for the life of me on the internet what the person symbol is on the machine with the + & - . Can anyone please tell me?
images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/C1o2arInSYS.pdf
you can download the manual on that link. hopefully works for you
Price?
Are you taking any statin medications? A lot of people as they age are placed on these cholesterol pills that frequently have this side effect
+Michael Best No, I don't take statin drugs .. having been getting nocturnal leg calf cramps since I was a kid .. this is the only thing I've found to resolve them. My leg muscles tend to "jump" at night, but it when I use the Revitive.
ljaworski I eat 4 banana's a day and still have the problem , Lack of potassium, what's your answer to that.
+Peter Cannon I can only speak for myself, I was told it was a lack of magnesium , or poor hydration. This may be true in some cases, but not all, including "the lack of potassium". I tried all the supplements & still got leg cramps at night, but when I'm using the Revitive, I never get them.
4 bananas don't cover your daily intake
Magnesium not potassium for cramps
I use a product called medi-lyte the cost is minimum the results are great.This product is fda approved call them at 1-8oo-634-7680 .
I regret to say the machine worked for only one minute. When complained they return money.
Hello
New revitive with Oxyway ???? No Oxyway in the box
and I cant see whats "NEW" about it Same as old one slight colour change thats it.
Posh name for foot massager
Oh come on, you just wanna show off those cute tootsies, of yours! The price isn't too bad. Thank You
Carol Napolitano its over $300!
I saw $217 online Google it
ik gebruik het voor vermoeiend benen
schneden brank
Helpt dit apparaat daarvoor?
Green? Does it come in blue? I'll buy it if I can get it in blue.
Sam does the color really matter if it can removes the pain?
This thing feels SO weird 🥴
It's $300
Don't waste your money. It's fake.
It’s just a vibrating pad. Keep your money and just put your feet on your hoover and switch it on. Or better still, get out more and do some exercise like walking or gardening etc. Circulation problems are caused by inactivity, so get off your backside and save a fortune.
eat 1 banana a day your cramps go away take potassium and take off a little salt .
you do realize there are many, non electrolyte reasons for leg cramps and spasms right?
Ascension symptoms right ?
no dehydration, low blood supply, nerve compression, too much sodium, kidney problems, fluid retention, over exertion via physical activity.. would you like me to continue?
