"I want to thank you for allowing me to use the Treadwell this summer. I felt it help me to warm up before playing competitive baseball. At age 53, being a catcher and playing 9-inning games it sure helped me. It really did create a difference in my flexibility and kept my legs from getting tired
I used the Treadwell 14 – 20 minutes before warming up and in-between double headers. It definitely helps my legs from tightening up. Other players used it in-between games and they said it loosened them up. I felt it kept my legs from cramping and tightening during the break. I could definitely tell a difference when I ran the bases.
After the games I would use the Treadwell for a half hour and it definitely helped the soreness the next day. I used to have a lot of tightness and soreness the next day but since I have been using the Treadwell it has eliminated the soreness and tightness the next day. I feel that the treadmill warmed up my legs to a point that I felt more flexible.
There were some road games that I did not take the Treadwell with me and I definitely felt the difference. I highly recommend the use of this equipment for athletes who need extra warm up of the legs prior to an event, during an event or during a break or between games. I would recommend this for people who get leg cramps. It sure prevented my leg cramps during the warm summer months.
Thanks again for the use of the Treadwell."

Welcome to wellness through an exciting new technology that makes the "No Pain, No Gain" slogan obsolete! Discover Treadwell®, a unique device that seems too good to be true but delivers on the claims it makes. The Treadwell® ushers in a new paradigm, "NO PAIN, BIG GAIN!"
A Human-Powered Preventative Health Device. No Electricity or other external power required. Utilizes inertia and momentum for ease of use. Compact: Takes up less than 300 square inches (0.19 square meters) of floor space with it's 18"Widex19"Deepx9"High profile. Quiet in operation and compact size makes it suitable for use while seated at a desk, computer work-station or anywhere floor space is limited. Anecdotal reports and preliminary studies suggest that Treadwell® may be helpful in the treatment of edema of the lower extremities, venous blood flow disorders (venostasis) peripheral arterial disease (PAD), restless leg syndrome (RLS) and peripheral neuropathy. Treadwell® are available for sale in the Americas for the introductory price of $899.00 plus tax and shipping/handling.
What is the Treadwell®?
The Treadwell® is a revolutionary new device with patent pending technology that anyone can use. Our innovative new technology is non-invasive and designed for ease of use with very low exertion. The design allows for a low-resistance motion for the user as compared to high exertion, high resistance exercise devices. This device will provide many benefits while doing no harm.
By harnessing the power of the body's "Calf Pump Mechanism" with the device, the user's blood flow velocity increases, particularly in the lower extremities. The muscles are re-oxygenated and fluid is moved out of the lower extremities to allow more venous blood to return. It is easy to understand that the use of the Treadwell® establishes a new "No Pain, Big Gain" paradigm.
Users of this device simply need to be seated with the Treadwell® positioned with their feet on the pedal to initiate the beneficial movement. The treadle is engaged by starting with some pressure on the heels and then rocking the foot forward as the ankle becomes the pivot point. The rocking motion continues throughout the session. Once the treadle begins moving, the innovative, technological design of the device enables the user to continue treading with very little effort during a treading sesion. A treading session can be as little as ten minutes and as much as several hours. Although the device has very low resistance, the benefits associated with engagement of the "Calf Pump Mechanism" are obtained while the user is engaged in this non-fatiguing activity. Users experience very little movement in the rest of the body which allows them to continue with normal activities such as reading, writing, working on a computer or talking on the phone.
Hundreds of users have anecdotally related positive results without any negative side effects. Some of these same users have enjoyed the use of their Treadwell® for literally hours at a time, day after day and experienced positive results without fatigue, muscle soreness, joint pain or other discomfort.
How does the Treadwell® work?
We know that the tightening of the calf muscles that occurs during the rocking motion of the ankle squeezes the veins in the legs. This squeezing action propels the blood up the legs toward the heart while one way valves in the veins prevent back-flow, . Some call this mechanism a “calf pump”.
By moving more blood out of the leg veins, we believe that using the Treadwell® reduces hydrostatic pressure in the legs, allowing fluid in the tissues to reenter the capillaries. Edema fluid can thus flow from the tissues into the bloodstream to be carried back to the heart and ultimately to the kidneys to be eliminated.
The reason for increased arterial blood flow velocity into the legs is something for much more medical research, but here are a couple of theories. By removing fluid from the capillaries and veins of the legs, using the Treadwell® reduces resistance in the vascular system, allowing freshly oxygenated blood to more easily enter the limbs to nourish the tissues. Furthermore, we have reason to believe that arterial circulation around the body is increased in general, including, of course, the lower extremities.
