Novasonic Popular

I have had a calf injury for 6 months now. It would get better i would start to run steady and then it would go again after a couple of weeks. exasperation had set in. I remembered having ultrasound on my shoulder a few years ago and that worked. So rather than go to the Physio and pay £40 plus per session, take time off work etc. I did some research checked reviews and found this little beauty. i was sceptical at first, and slightly desparate for a fix. Two sessions the night before and i went for a steady run the next day and have never looked back. I am now racing again pain free. When i have had any twinges, niggles etc i have used this machine and not had to stop training or racing. If you buy this dont bother buying any Gel. i would recommend using it through some thin material initially then straight on the skin. This is fantastic for long term injuries and will help strains heal quicker.

Very expensive, but it really does work! I have bursitis in my shoulder which can be very painful. 10 minutes of stroking this around the sore areas and I am pain free for a few hours. My osteopath recommended the (now discontinued) Boots version of this. I ended up having to get the full price one. It could easily be mistaken for a pure snake-oil product, but for once - it is pure gold.

I doesn't do much as the frequency and magnitude is too low. Pretty much ineffective and more gadget than tool.

It's just an over oriced vibrator. Not sure it dead anything to help.

I am satisfied with its functionality. Bought it to replace one which has served me well. I am disappointed that the carrying case is of no use. It is designed for a continental plug. The unit has been supplied fitted with a power supply with a UK standard plug which does fit the case. I would have preferred a continental plug. As it is the case is useless.

I have to say I was a little skeptical about this product initially but it is proving to be money very well spent. I bought it to help ease the symptoms of osteoarthritis - I am currently awaiting a full hip replacement and have been experiencing pain in my IT band - although I know I won't completely get rid of any pain until my op, it has certainly helped eased the pain. My husband is a keen mountain biker and regularly picks up aches and pains and he too has found it invaluable to help ease them. So all in all I am very impressed with this little device.

My Iliotibial band (ITB) started causing pain in my left knee after a half marathon; so after initial rest & icing I started with some sports massage & this little gadget to get myself back in running form. After 2 weeks I successfully managed to complete 11miles without any knee pain so along with stretching, sports massage and this little machine I have turned a corner from being in pain at 2 miles to no pain in 11miles. Its a great asset in my running kit now and I still use it daily to ease any niggles that may be lurking.

it was much smaller than expected. i had previously used an ultra sound hand held machine for a year to help with above mentioned pain and it worked well, although you dont feel or hear anything whilst it is in use, the plus side to the novasonic is that you actually feel a massage effect whilst it works in a similar way i.e. deep tissue penetration. it is a little early to rate its effectiveness yet but i certainly have not experienced a deterioration in my conditions... a;though it is small it is very easy to manoeuvre,and the case keeps it safe and clean.
