"I am a 56 year old Physical Therapy Assistant. When I was 47 years old, I was diagnosed as with intermittent claudication in my legs, which caused my legs to cramp it I walked too rapidly or increased my speed too much. I then went to a cardiologist, who surgically implanted a stint in my heart. My cramping continued, and 5 years later I had quadruple bypass surgery. After the surgery, I was encouraged to walk, but still experienced leg cramping after 1/2 mile, requiring that I stop to rest for a bit. I started using your Treadwell wellness machine in 2005, for about 15 minutes twice a day. I soon noticed that I could walk more than a mile without my legs cramping. If I became lazy and did not use the machine I began to feel sign of cramps coming along at the 1/2 mile range. I know that this was lazy, because it is of no effort for me to use this machine-I do this when I am completing my job related paperwork at the end of the day. Of additional interest is the result of my most recent stress test (which I have performed annually). Every year I was able to go around 6 minutes before leg cramping required that I stop the test. Taking this year's test, I was able to continue for 12 minutes without cramping. You were correct-this machine is so simple, yet so effective. I wish you well in getting this machine to the public."-Norman, Wilmington, NC
