I don't know if this would work for Alan (I'd be interested to know if it would work for ME!  ) My first thought was that they looked like the machines hospitals put on surgery patients to avoid/prevent DVT/PAD as well. I have some reservations about there being enough pressure (the massages we do on me are point-loaded via thumbs) to reduce edema. I don't know if these machines would stimulate or restrict circulation, or which is better for edema (you probably know better than I).I spoze it would be helpful if there were some way you (Alan) could try one for a period of time. A call to the company might find that out. I don't know if these machines would be found in a PT office/practice. Jes' brainstorming/spitballin' here...  I get where you're coming from.Doc
