Default Dr Ho’ products?

The wife has been going to physio therapy every week since her accident but with the weather turning from bad to worse she’s not comfortable driving to town for her appointments.

Anyone use these Dr Ho contraptions? She’s still pretty sore in the knee and neck and don’t know what will help.

I’ve had one for a few years now. We use it all the time. I broke my foot and blew my ankle out a couple years back, and I use this all the time on it and my lower back. Works great. I also have the foot pads. I find they help in my ankle pain also.
My physiotherapist was glad to find out I had one, and showed me different placements for them.

I would highly recommend it or similar products.

Likely all made in China anyhow, but maybe Dr Ho has connections with the best factories

I've used one for a few years. It works for some things and not others, I find it works well on sore muscles (i.e.: overuse) but is hit or miss on injuries. That's just me though, everyone is different. Suggest talking to her physiotherapist first to see if it would help.

Thanks. I’ll get her to talk to the physio therapist first.

yeah dr. ho is pretty good but i suggest you see if you can find an ortho bionomy practitioner close they may be able to get her better relief. I saw Debbie in Hinton while I was on a rig in 2000 after a whiplash accident was aggravated from looking up all day, and the treatment got me back to where i was before the accident, lasted until i got rear ended again.

Exactly. "Dr" Ho is full of crap. Literally, according to him. I can't take him seriously since I saw his infomercial he did with his daughter claiming that everybody walks around all the time with 10lbs of poop in their bodies.
Shockingly and convenient enough, They had a cleansing product to fix that!
I know right? Amazing...

Just buy a proper tens machine. I've used one for my physio and it worked well.

Yes a dr ho is a tens machine. Tbh, I don’t think it really matters which brand you get. I got the dr ho, because that is all that was avail in our town on the day that I wanted it. I can say that we are very happy with it though. The whole family uses it.
