“Let me begin by saying thank you for the opportunity to experience your wonderful machine. The treadle proved to very beneficial in my recovery after heart bypass surgery on May 8, 2007. The incision on my right leg wasn't closing properly, although, the one on my chest healed normally. Most of the 9 inch incision on my lower right calf healed, leaving only a one-ince section that refused to close. Several doctors reassured me that it would close on its own, however, nothing changed until I started using the treadle on August 19th. Six days later the incision began crystallizing and by August 31st had shrunk from the size of a quarter to smaller than a dime. By September 15th my incision had closed completely. During my recovery I used the treadle for 1-5 hours daily in the comfort of my own home. It was easy to use while reading and watching television. The motion of the treadle, which impacted my healing process, increased my circulation any my energy level. I was thrilled with the effectiveness of the machine and would be the first to recommend the treadle to anyone.“ - Eileen, Blythewood, SC
