Home Care: Comfort & Familiarity

By admin_ka No CommentsPosted in BlogTags: , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Home care, live-in care or domiciliary care means receiving the care and support you need at your own home, at your preferred times.

Often, receiving care means having to leave home and move into a care setting or facility. In some cases, this can be distressing. Additionally, not everybody needs 24 hours of supervision and care. The benefits of home care and support services, is that we allow the service user the familiarity and comfort of their home whilst they receive the support they need.

Stepping Out can visit your home for a duration of just half an hour, all the way up to 24 hour live-in care, depending on your needs.

For more information on what we can assist you with, and our methods of doing so, visit our Home Care page, or call 0208 342 7217.

Circulation Booster V3® Review

By admin_ka 1 CommentPosted in BlogTags: , , ,

Stepping Out offer the Circulation BoosterV3® at just £189.99!

The Circulation Booster V3 sends out mild electrical impulses which stimulate the thousands of nerve endings and muscles in the feet. In turn, this works the muscles of the calf much like gentle exercise would. As this occurs, blood is circulated throughout the feet and pumped back up through the legs, improving blood circulation and reducing fluid retention around the calf muscles and ankles. Regular use of the Circulation Booster V3 is proven to significantly improve blood circulation, reduce swelling and prevent fluid retention. The device has two large comfortable foot pads to rest your feet. Additionally, easy-to-use controls help you to personalise the level of muscle stimulation.

One of the UK’s leading vascular experts, well known Consultant Surgeon, Mr Mark Whiteley says: “We have tested and used the Circulation Booster and have found it to be very effective at stimulating the muscles of the calf and lower leg, causing a very good increase in blood flow. I am so impressed that I will be using it myself”.

The Circulation Booster has been clinically proven that the regular use of muscle stimulation of the foot, as well as the calf, can:

• Prevent venous stasis (stoppage of blood flow) thereby lowering the risk of developing DVT and pulmonary embolism
• Improve circulation and reduce swelling, fluid retention and aching pain
• Improve muscle strength and reduce muscle wastage
• Reduce stress & improve energy levels
• Improve general well-being and mobility

Overall, we can clearly see the Circulation Booster can significantly reduce swelling, improve blood circulation and alleviate pain. Find out more and purchase the Circulation Booster from our online store.
