Pads and wraps

Post by Margaret122maryL »

I’ve been searching for info on the Restiffic foot wraps and the Relaxis pad. I don’t see much that is new. Does anyone have recent feedback on either of these devices?

Thanks.

We haven't had many people here talk about it.

There isn't anything new - - just the older posts. I imagine you've read them more recently than I have but iirc, the foot wraps were not effective for anyone and the pads were sort of effective for some people.
