Introduction
Everyone has suffered leg pain and discomfort at some point. For many this may just be an
inconvenience. For others, tired, aching and heavy legs may severely impact their quality of
life and prevent them from leading an active lifestyle.
Most leg discomfort is both preventable and treatable, with the majority of all leg disorders
caused by poor circulation and pressure build up in the leg veins. By improving leg
circulation we may help prevent and treat the most common leg problems.
REVITIVE Circulation Boosters use Electrical Muscle Stimulation to activate the muscles in
the feet and lower legs and alleviate the discomfort caused by poor circulation and improve
overall leg health.
Aim of training
After reading this training guide, you will have sufficient knowledge and skills to:
• Understand what affects good leg health and identify the signs and symptoms of
poor leg health.
• Know how REVITIVE works and when to recommend and understand the key
differences between REVITIVE Arthritis-Knee, REVITIVE Medic and REVITIVE
Advanced.
• Screen customers and refer them to their healthcare professional for more detailed treatment
advice where necessary.
This training guide outlines what is poor circulation, what are
the common symptoms and who has it. It explains how
the REVITIVE Circulation Booster works, who REVITIVE is
suitable for, and who it is not suitable for, as well as answers
to Frequently Asked Questions.
We hope you find all the information that you need
on REVITIVE Circulation Booster in this manual,
but if you have any additional questions please
ask your supervisor or call Actegy: 01344 636940.

Healthy Leg Circulation
The heart is the main muscle-pump of the circulatory system, pumping oxygen-rich
blood through the arteries (‘arterial flow’).
After all the goodness from the blood has been used and any waste products
collected, the blood enters the veins and the blood is carried back to the heart.
Returning the blood back to the heart from the feet and legs is an uphill challenge.
Gravity forces the veins to work harder.
The leg muscles are what is known as the ‘second heart’, helping to pump blood back
up the legs.
The leg muscles contract and relax to push blood through one-way valves and back
to the heart.

Signs and Symptoms of Poor Circulation
When leg muscles are inactive for long periods while standing or sitting, the blood flow in
the leg veins slows significantly and consequently blood and fluid begin to pool - this is poor
circulation. This pooling creates pressure in the leg veins, causing the painful feeling of tired,
aching and heavy legs.
Poor leg health and poor circulation can be caused by a variety of factors - age, certain medical
conditions (such as diabetes, arthritis and venous disease) and even just being less active, can
all impair circulation.
Those at risk may include:
NOTE: Whilst the symptoms and conditions above are consistent with poor circulation, the Revitive
Circulation Boosters have been clinically proven to address aching and painful legs and improve
circulation in healthy individuals and certain medical conditions, (diabetes, osteoarthritis, following
surgery, COPD). Individuals presenting with additional symptoms or underlying conditions should
seek the advice of a healthcare professional if they have any concerns regarding the use of the
REVITIVE device or its ability to help in their particular circumstances.

What is REVITIVE Circulation Booster?
REVITIVE is a clinically proven, drug-free medical device, designed to activate the
‘second heart’ (calf muscles) to increase blood flow and thereby improve circulation.
There are three models - REVITIVE Arthritis-Knee, REVITIVE Medic and REVITIVE Advanced.
All REVITIVE devices stimulate circulation through Electrical Muscle Stimulation to
reduce swollen feet and ankles, alleviate tired, aching legs & feet and to actively
improve overall circulation.
How Does REVITIVE Work?
REVITIVE applies Electrical Muscle Stimulation to the feet via two large
foot-pads. In a seated position, users place bare feet on the device and
increase the intensity level until strong (comfortable, non-painful) calf
muscle contractions can visibly be seen or felt. The muscle-pumping
action immediately increases blood flow and reduces fluid retention,
which causes swelling.
The unique IsoRocker System gently allows ankle joint movement, to
replicate heel-toe raises, as the leg muscles contract and relax.
REVITIVE Arthritis-Knee also includes large Arthritis Pads which are
applied to the thigh. The pads deliver EMS, intermittently, directly to
the thigh muscle to deliver optimum thigh muscle strengthening.
Arthritis-Knee is designed to specifically help those with Osteoarthritis
of the knee or those recovering from knee surgery.
SECTION 2: What is REVITIVE and how does it work?
“We have tested and used REVITIVE and have
found that it is very effective at stimulating the
muscles of the feet and lower leg, causing a very
good increase in blood flow. I am so impressed I
will be using it myself.”

Clinical Evidence*
Since 2007, we have worked with leading UK Universities and undertaken a number of clinical
studies to build a foundation of research which proves that REVITIVE works. Clinical studies have
shown that just 20-30 minutes of stimulation actively improves circulation, relieving the symptoms
of poor circulation.
Able to be operated at home by anyone without the assistance of
a healthcare professional.
More comfortable and easy to use than compression hosiery (which
can be difficult to put on and needs to be worn continuously).
Does not produce discomfort from excessive sweating and heat
like that from the sleeve in an IPC.
Actively increases blood flow rather than passive leg vein support
like compression hosiery.
Advantages of REVITIVE over traditional circulation therapies
Poor circulation, particularly in more severe cases associated with underlying medical
conditions, can be treated in a number of different ways - compression hosiery and
Intermittent Pneumatic Compression (IPC) or medication.
REVITIVE has a number of advantages over these alternatives:

SECTION 4: When to recommend REVITIVE
Ask and observe
Spotting the signs of poor circulation is easier than you think and more than likely you already
know them! Here are some simple questions and observations you can make to help you
determine if the customer may suffer from poor circulation.
While engaging your customer if they answer “Yes” to any of the above, you can
conclude that they may suffer from poor circulation and should consider taking steps to
actively increase their circulation, by using a device like REVITIVE.
• Tired, aching or heavy feeling legs
• Cramp, or stabbing pain in the feet or legs
• OsteoArthritis
• Diabetes
•Poor mobility
•COPD
• Had or about to have surgery eg knee/hip
replacement
• Prolonged sitting or standing
• Sedentary lifestyle
• Age 50+
• Swollen feet and ankles (Oedema)?
• Skin discolouration?
• Bandages on the legs or feet?
• Compression stockings / hosiery?
• Use of walking aids (stick or scooter)?
• Obesity?
• Smoker?
• Varicose veins?

Staff should refer customers to the pharmacist or their doctor if they are
requesting detailed treatment advice.
For safety precautions there are a few people who cannot use REVITIVE:
People who are fitted with an electronic implanted device such as a heart
pacemaker or Automatic Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (AICD)
People being treated for, or have symtoms of, an existing Deep Vein
Thrombosis (DVT)
During pregnancy
Contraindications
SECTION 5: Frequently asked questions
What does using REVITIVE feel like?
REVITIVE uses Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) which applies stimulation to the
soles of bare feet. EMS gently contracts and relaxes the muscles in the calves and you
experience a tingling (which can feel like “pins & needles”) which soothes and relieves
the pain and discomfort from poor circulation.
How often should REVITIVE be used?
We recommend using REVITIVE for 20-30 minutes a day as part of a daily routine.
REVITIVE can be used whilst watching TV, working at the computer or just having a
cup of tea. Then just sit back, relax and let REVITIVE go to work.
We recommend using REVITIVE ARTHRITIS KNEE PADS for 20 minutes, 5 times a
week. Eg Monday - Friday.
