Great for circulation, but skip the "Medic Coach" model—accessories are poor value. I have used the Revitive Medic Coach daily for two months, and the core foot and lower leg stimulation is excellent. It has been instrumental in eliminating my ankle swelling, improving circulation, and almost entirely stopping the nightly foot and calf cramps I… Read more · 1
used to suffer from. However, the peripheral accessories included with this top-of-the-range model are a major disappointment. Specifically, the TENS/EMS electrode pads are made with incredibly flimsy wiring. Despite following the instructions, mine were rendered useless after just four uses. The device registers them as connected, but as soon as the TENS function is activated, I receive an error message to "Attach your body pads" (which are already attached). This suggests a break in the delicate internal wiring. I was further disappointed to find that while the main unit has a two-year warranty, these peripheral attachments are specifically excluded. With replacement pads costing $20–$40 plus postage—and a projected life of only 30 uses—the value proposition is very poor. If you need a TENS function, you are better off buying a dedicated standalone device for $40. Final Verdict: The foot massage technology works wonders, but save yourself $100 and buy the basic model. The "Medic Coach" upgrade accessories are let down by poor build quality and restrictive warranty terms.
I have knee pain more than 12 months. My partner purchased this machine 2 years ago and asked me to try, after I tried few days and I could see the result that my knee pain got improved so I purchased my own one. Now, I have used this machine for 2 months now and the pain from knee almost gone just occasionally fell a mild pain. I even recommend my friend to get one this as my friend has some knee pain like me Show details · 1
Happy feet – So far have noticed an improvement in my neuropathy in my feet. Looking forward to continued use and see what improvement I can still get. Legs don't seem as restless of a night. Only had for a couple weeks, so pretty happy so far. Show details · 1
Easy to use with rapid results – Revitive Medic Coach is light-weight, simple to use and comes with a mobile app which makes it even easier to use whilst seated. Ideally used during an hour long TV show or web video. It improved my circulation within about 2 weeks and has also improved the health and appearance of my feet. Show details · 1

Still in my first 10 week sessions but works well at the end of my day relieving my swelling and helps with overnight sleep and pain. Start every morning with no swelling and no pain. Show details · 2
Follow-up · Still going strong. Walking more and further than usual and no pain. Still do 30 mins every night or if the feet feel sore.

I bought my machine because I have serious foot problems and fluid in my legs. I have been using my Revitive most days since I bought it, sometimes for half an hour, sometimes for an hour and sometimes less as my feet are too sore to handle it. Overall happy with product but haven't seen any difference in my gait as yet, but still hoping. Show details · 1
I have had the device for just on a month and it took some time to get used to. In the last week or so I have been getting what I call an electric shock to the souls of my feet making it difficult if not impossible to use. After doing some research… Read more · 2
I was advised this is a common side effect and can be managed with moisturising cream and hydration. I have found the device has definitely improved the swelling in my legs so I really want it to work but if the shock effect can’t be fixed I can’t use it and I will send it back under the 60 day money back guarantee.
Follow-up · I continued to have problems with the electric shock issue so before giving up I tried using a medicated foot balm I bought from Chemist Warehouse. I used the cream daily and stopped using the Revitive for about 5 days. Since then I haven’t had any further problems so the suggested solution did work and I use the foot balm regularly so the problem doesn’t reoccur.
I was in so much pain with my knee (severe osteoarthritis) since Dec 25 and someone suggested Revitive Coach with the thigh pads. Within a few days my knee started to get better and now I am pain free. It only hurts when going up the stairs, but it is minimal. I have now purchased the ultrasound and body pads to work on my back and shoulder. I… Read more · 1
have been off pain and anti-inflammation meds for over 4 weeks. I can now walk freely, exercise and use the bike in prep for my surgery in Sept 26 and feel confident I can lose the kg needed. My Orthopedic surgeon is very impressed with my results so far. Money well spent and my husband can use it as well. I also suffer from lipedema and lymphedema, and my lymph physio is amazed at the fluid reduction. The use of lymphatic support has reduced, and I am able to better manage the fluid. I went from being unable to wear shoes to being able to fit into my shoes again. This is mostly from lymph therapy but in the last month I have gone from size 42 back to 41 my normal shoe size with Revitive. I wish I had started year ago when my chemist suggested it, but I baulked at spending the cost.

We get the app to work on android and Apple version. Not all older individuals have latest version of the apps. Can't just need to upgrade phone, to use the Revitive. Costly upgrade. Need to help the older person who is may user
No remote control. To get to 99 I have to bend over and hit + 99 times. Cheaper devices have remote controls. Show details

It was too much effort to return it. It is probably providing some benefit (but only minor). I have it set up in front of my computer and, if nothing else, it does help to tell me when I have spent 30 minutes sitting in front of the screens. I am not at all sure that it is worth the cost.

I have knee osteoarthritis and over 35 years of favouring one leg resulting in muscle waste. We upgraded our basic model revitive to the Medic Coach and I am 8 weeks into my first therapy using the thigh pads. The therapy has woken muscles in both legs and together with my exercises the Revitive has significantly improved my stability and the pain… Read more · 1
in my knees has noticeably reduced. The awakened muscles are still need work to keep them active but they are visible now. I am glad we made the investment with the Revitive Medic Coach, it has made a noticeable difference to my life.
After watching the commercials for years I purchased the Medic Revitive as it included the Tens pads. There are positives and negatives to the machine. The pros are that it can help relieve pain and tired swollen feet, the big negative is that you have to use it so many times a day for a set time, usually around 30-60 mins and to get any benefit… Read more
from the rocking motion it needs to be at a high setting, which ended up causing more pain in my foot. But at a lower setting it does provide some relief.

The machine itself is great - both my husband and I use it. It has really improved the pain in my calves/ankles and my husband, who has diabetes, has also said the feeling in his feet has improved. However it is the actual medic program I have problems with as I had planned on using the knee pads but after one use my legs where the patches stuck… Read more · 1
caused redness. No problem as was warned this could happen so I just won't use them yet - but i couldn't find anywhere that I could cancel the knee pad usage portion in the program except having to cancel it daily.
It has surpassed all expectations, it sure making a difference with my feet and legs. Highly recommend this unit to anybody that has leg or feet issues. 5Stars does not do justice to the Revitive unit. Show details · 1

Sore and swollen knees from ageing, previous sports injuries, car accident, and before/during/after menopause. Have to also stop vigirous exercises due to heart condition. So I thought I would try revitive as no requirement to take anything orally. So I followed the program for 10 weeks, used the pads and daily sessions and saw a huge… Read more · 1
improvement. Reduced swollen knees after first time. Pain reduced every day and no pain. And I am still using it daily as I feel the results. Now I do daily leg exercises, eg. squats, some medium walking and revitive for min 30 minutes - and no swolling nor pain. If I overdo it then just jump on the revitive for 10 mins and it helps. Have recommended it to a few friends
