"Mom was using the Treadwell you loaned me in later July. She had a stroke about four years ago and has severe aphasia, mild Tourette’s Syndrome and diminished use of her right arm and leg as a result. It is such a shame, she was very outgoing and had beautiful hand-writing, but the aphasia has made her self-conscious and she is ashamed of her hand-writing now. Mom started the Treadwell with a skeptical attitude but on the first day’s usage she noticed more feeling in her right leg. On the second day she was able to move each toe on her right foot (I was not aware that she could not do this before, but she’s not a complainer). She returned to her home in Gaston County at the end of July and I planned to get the Treadwell back to you after returning from vacation in August, but Mom came back down last week. She said her foot had reverted back to normal and she could not wiggle her toes. She began Treadwelling again and on the first day she was wiggling toes again!! Now she is Treadwelling 2-3 hours a day. I just wanted to let you know how amazed we both are. If nothing else, it seems to have given hope to her that she’s not at the total mercy of the stroke effects." - Brandon, Wilmington, NC

“I suffered from painful leg cramps at night for many, many years.  I could not take Statin drugs for my cholesterol because the cramps were even more severe. After just a few days of using the Treadwell®, my legs cramps disappeared and haven’t returned. During a recent bout with the flu, I was forced to temporarily refrain from using the Treadwell®.  My cramps returned, causing me great pain once again.  I’m sold on the value of Treadwell® – I use it every day. Now I’m going to talk to my doctor about trying the Statin drugs again.” - Don, 78 year old cardiac patient, Birmingham, Alabama.

"I want to thank you ever so much for introducing me to the Treadwell® system.  It has helped me not only feel better physically but mentally also.  I can actually see my ankle bones for the first time since 2003.  And when one starts to see so much improvement in 7 days they feel so much better about themselves.  I am not able to do alot of physical exercise such as aerobics, so the Treadwell® system is the answer to my prayers.  Thank you again!" - Carolyn, Bangor, Maine.

"Richard, as you probably know, I broke my back in a motorcycle accident ten weeks ago. Since then I have worn a back brace and have had limited movement. Two days ago I started using your treadwell for twenty minutes in the morning and another twenty minutes in the evening.  Even after the first day I could feel a major reduction in my pain level. Last night I was able to sleep through the night for the first time since the accident. I look forward to continued use of your product and continued reduction in my pain." - Rocky V.

"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

 “I am writing to inform you of the results in using Treadwell’s prototypes with my P.T. clientele.  First off, I have used the prototypes with the geriatric population presenting with restless leg syndrome (RLS), chronic lower extremity pain, and lower extremity neuropathy.  In all cases, I have put each patient on a daily regimen of 15-20 minutes per day.  In cases of RLS and chronic LE pain, I have seen a significant reduction or complete resolution of pain/discomfort, resulting in improved sleep and mobility in a matter of days to weeks.  Results with LE neuropathy have been mixed overall but all with no increase in symptoms, to my knowledge.  In a few cases, patients were unable to maintain a consistent motion with the treadle which would affect their results.  With these results, I continue to recommend the use of Treadwell’s product for my patients who experience RLS or any other type of chronic LE pain.  What amazes me the most is the motion on the treadle can be maintained for long periods of time with minimal to no fatigue reported by the vast majority of my patients.  Furthermore, many patients report a decrease in symptoms within a few days of use.” – Greg, Wilmington, NC

“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

"Thank you for the opportunity to test the Treadwell.  I work on a rotating twelve hour shift.  You are also aware that this is a very sedentary job which can lead to leg cramping and circulatory problems.  I have noticed that since I started using the Treadwell device, I have had less leg cramping and better circulation in my legs.  Another side benefit of using the Treadwell is that it helps to keep me alert when I am working the overnight shift.  I haven't noticed any negative side effects of using the Treadwell.  It is very easy to use.  It just seems natural to use it now when I am sitting at my desk.  The Treadwell becomes habit forming once you start to use it.  The Treadwell is one of the most convenient and efficient devices I can think of using to improve overall wellness.  My opinion is that if you need to be at a desk, you should be pumping a Treadwell.  You will receive a free health benefit from doing this while you are being sedentary at work.-Jeff, Bangor, ME

"For several years, I have been experiencing foot cramping, especially on days that I exercise.  It occurs whether I am doing aerobic exercise or strength training exercise.  Usually the cramping is most aggressive just after retiring for the evening and before falling asleep.  When the cramping occurred I would need to get out of bed and walk to relieve the cramping in my feet.  Some evenings I would need to do this several times before the cramping would ease so that I could sleep.  For the past six weeks, I have been using one of your prototype Treadwell units.  I have used the unit for as little as fifteen minutes and for as long as sixty minutes in a day.  Usually I use the unit in the evening.  Within days of starting to use the Treadwell my cramping was reduced by 95%.  And now when there is cramping it is so mild that it subsides within minutes without needing to get out of bed and walk for relief.  When I started using the Treadwell unit it took so little force to use that I wondered if it could provide any benefit.  To my pleasant surprise it had a positive effect that was almost immediate.  I expect to be using your Treadwell unit for many years to come."-Jerry, Wilmington, NC

"After having by-pass surgery on my right leg two weeks after the swelling was severe and after being showed 20 minutes twice a day the next morning it was amazing how the swelling was subsiding.  It is now six weeks and using the machine has given me much relief and I'm walking twice a day now without cramping, burning or pain - thanks to Treadwell."-Paul, Holden, ME
