I see ElliotB has not been online since June - I do hope he is ok

Yes I agree it does get very tiring to use all day I have had problems with getting the right point for good dorsiflexion - it's been frustrating and my foot everts and feels like the device takes over my walking I was advised by the NHS nurse that I could get this to replace the NHS FES which is wi...

Ok. I think most folk, especially those with kids, really need to know this stuff. I listened to it on Audible which was enough for me to be worried. I have cut back on the soya lattes (he says any kind of soya product apart from edamame is likely ultra processed). And having less Prets sandwiches. ...
