ABSTRACT:
A method for using a device or activating the circulation of the lymphatic system in the legs of a user (100), is described. The device includes coil springs (26, 28) mounted on ends (16A, 16B) of cross shaft or arm (16) and supporting stirrups (30, 31) for the heel of the user in a sitting position. To activate the circulation of the lymphatic system, the heels of the user are first inserted into the supporting stirrups. Next, the user applies a downward force on the stirrups with the heels and finally, the user releases the downward force of the stirrups. The springs are constructed so that the legs of the user are moved in a vertically oscillating direction without significant exercise of the leg muscles and is particularly adapted for users who are unable to participate in normal activity due to age, illness or accident.
