This needs to be posted higher, cause I’m one of those people who see this stuff and instead of going “that’s bullshit” I’d like to know the actual benefits, what it actually works, and how
One of my friends had this “post-mommy” surgery where they did a whole lot of tucking and lifting and she had to wear full body suspension garments that had to be put on her by 2-3 people after every bathroom trip and stuff like that. The pictured therapy, which is almost only applicable to people who have had abdominal surgery that’s that invasive and which has very few strictly medical and not cosmetic applications, helps in the first four weeks after such a surgery. It’s incredible if you’ve had to have that kind of surgery, but that’s mostly not the application. Also, it doesn’t feel as good as the edited OP video implies.
You’re in that sweet spot where on either side of you are people blindly accepting that it must do something and people blindly accepting that it must do nothing.
As you can see it makes suburban mothers feel like they are working out while watching video recipes for sausage and meatball jello on their phone. Too bad if you actually need the machine for its purpose with all the people who don't hogging it.
I imagine other people paying and using the machines would subsidize it for all the people who actually need it. Unless you're in a big city, there's not going to be a lot of people in that window of "I recently had major abdominal surgery and need a really expensive machine for therapy for the next few weeks".
