"In 2006 I had an acute injury to the nerves in my left leg as a result of spinal stenosis at L5-S1. After several months of pain, the only lasting problems have been 3 numb toes and a very troublesome touchiness to my hamstring and lateral tibial muscles which results in painful cramping at night. I tried all the usual recommendations – calcium and Vitamin D supplements – and exercise but the exercise just made it worse. The opportunity to try out the Treadwell came. and by trial and error, I seem to have found that if I use it for a period of about 20 minutes before I go to bed, I do not wake up with leg cramps. I keep it under my computer desk and have gotten in the habit of using it off and on during the day. If I am gone for several days to visit my grandchildren, etc., I can be guaranteed of being up with leg cramps within a few days. To me this is overwhelming evidence that the use of the Treadwell is preventing my night leg cramps." - Susan, Wilmington, NC

Welcome to wellness through an exciting new technology that makes the "No Pain, No Gain" slogan obsolete when applied to wellness! Discover the Treadwell®Wellness Device, a unique device that seems too good to be true but delivers on the claims it makes. The Treadwell® Wellness Device ushers in a new paradigm for users of wellness equipment:
"NO PAIN, BIG GAIN!"
A Green Preventative Health Device. No Electricity or other external power required. Utilizes inertia and momentum provided by the user for ease of use. Compact: Takes up less than 300 square inches (0.19 square meters) of floor space with it's 18"Wide x 19"Deep x 9"High profile. Quiet in operation and compact size makes it suitable for use while seated at a desk, computer work-station or anywhere floor space is limited. Anecdotal reports and preliminary studies suggest that the Treadwell® Wellness Device may be helpful in the treatment of wound healing, leg ulcer healing , edema of the lower extremities, venous blood flow disorders (venostasis) peripheral arterial disease (PAD), restless leg syndrome (RLS), congestive heart failure (CHF), and peripheral neuropathy.

What is the Treadwell® Wellness Device?
The Treadwell® Wellness Device is a revolutionary new device with patent pending technology that anyone can use. Our innovative new technology is non-invasive and designed for ease of use with very low exertion. The design allows for a low-resistance, low-impact motion for the user as compared to high exertion, high resistance, high impact exercise devices. This device will provide many benefits while doing no harm.
"NO PAIN, BIG GAIN!"
By harnessing the power of the body's "Calf Pump Mechanism" with the device, the user's blood flow velocity increases, particularly in the lower extremities. The muscles are re-oxygenated and fluid is moved out of the lower extremities to allow more venous blood to return. It is easy to understand that the use of the Treadwell® Wellness Device establishes a new "No Pain, Big Gain" paradigm for users of wellness equipment.
Users of this device simply need to be seated with the Treadwell® Wellness Device positioned with their feet on the treadal to initiate the beneficial movement. The treadle is engaged by starting with some pressure on the heels and then rocking the foot forward as the ankle becomes the pivot point. The rocking motion continues throughout the session. Once the treadle begins moving, the innovative, technological design of the device enables the user to continue treading with very little effort during a treading sesion. A treading session can be as little as ten minutes and as much as several hours. Although the device has very low resistance, the benefits associated with engagement of the "Calf Pump Mechanism" are obtained while the user is engaged in this non-fatiguing activity. Users experience very little movement in the rest of the body which allows them to continue with normal activities such as reading, writing, working on a computer or talking on the phone.
Hundreds of users have anecdotally related positive results without any negative side effects. Some of these same users have enjoyed the use of their Treadwell® for literally hours at a time, day after day and experienced positive results without fatigue, muscle soreness, joint pain or other discomfort.
How does the Treadwell® Wellness Device work?
We know that the tightening of the calf muscles that occurs during the rocking motion of the ankle squeezes the veins in the legs. This squeezing action propels the blood up the legs toward the heart while one way valves in the veins prevent back-flow, . Some call this mechanism a “calf pump”.
By moving more blood out of the leg veins, we believe that using the Treadwell® Wellness Device reduces hydrostatic pressure in the legs, allowing fluid in the tissues to reenter the capillaries. Edema fluid can thus flow from the tissues into the bloodstream to be carried back to the heart and ultimately to the kidneys to be eliminated.
The reason for increased arterial blood flow velocity into the legs is something for much more medical research, but here are a couple of theories. By removing fluid from the capillaries and veins of the legs, using the Treadwell® Wellness Device reduces resistance in the vascular system, allowing freshly oxygenated blood to more easily enter the limbs to nourish the tissues. Furthermore, we have reason to believe that arterial circulation around the body is increased in general, including, of course, the lower extremities.
