Vibit ad: 5 months in my cupboard

My kids got me one of these for Fathers Day last year. I said thanks, and I put it in the cupboard under the stairs, and it sat there for 5 months. This is me admitting they were right and I was a goose about it. Plantar fasciitis, right heel, going on 3 years. And a lower back that locks up if I sit more than about 40 minutes, which is most of a day now Im not working. Im 64. I drove trucks and then I ran a store room for 19 years, so Ive been on concrete my whole life. Heres why it went in the cupboard. Id already been through the whole aisle. Every single thing in it. And I dont mean I looked at them, I mean I bought them and used them and they did nothing. A night splint. $60. Like sleeping with a boot nailed to your leg. Lasted 3 nights. Insoles. 3 different pairs. The gel ones, the hard ones, and the ones the bloke measured my foot for. $240 all up. Podiatrist. $190 for him to tell me to stretch and lose weight. One of those foot spas that bubbles. $120. Its still in the shed with the water stain on the box. Chiropractor. 6 visits at $75. Thats $450. So $1,060, and by the end of it I was worse than when I started, and my heel still felt like standing on a stone every morning. By then Id stopped buying things for it. So when a box turned up with a roller and some pads in it I thought, nice thought love, and into the cupboard it went. What changed was my back in March. Bent over for a bag of potting mix and couldnt straighten up. 2 days on the floor of the lounge room with a pillow under my knees. Lyn had to help me get my socks on, which is about as low as it gets at 64. On the second day she went and got the box out of the cupboard. Sarah, thats my daughter, had actually read about it before she bought it. She rang and told me one thing and then let me alone about it, which is the only reason it got through. She said the feet and the back arent the same job and Id been buying like they were. Took me about a week to work out what she meant. The heel and the calf is meat. I can stand on it, so something can press it. Its been tight since about 2019 and tight stuff doesnt get much blood through it, and the less it gets the tighter it goes. You can physically squash that out. My back isnt meat you stand on. I cant get my own weight onto it and I cant reach the middle of it, so pressing was never going to be the answer there. Everything Id bought for my back sat on top of it. So thats 2 jobs. Every item on that $1,060 list did the one. The roller is the pressing half. Its covered in raised points, around 90 of them, and it starts buzzing the second you put weight on it. Ive had a bloke press a thumb in there before and it just hurt. This does the pressing and the buzzing at the same time and thats the difference, it actually lets go instead of just hurting. The pads are the other half. Theyre TENS, proper ones. If a physio has ever wired you up to the unit on the trolley, its that, except they stick flat on your lower back with no wires, no belt, no box clipped on your strides. The pulse gets down to the nerve, which is more than any heat pack ever managed. I put them on and sit in my chair and watch the cricket. The pads go where the roller cant. Sarah told me to do the calf first and leave the sore heel alone, which is the exact opposite of what I would have done. It comes with the guided routines and theyre 10 minutes. First night I did the calves like she said. 10 minutes. Halfway through, my whole lower leg started doing that thing when pins and needles goes away, that flooding feeling, and I sat there staring at my own leg. Week 1 the first step out of bed was still bad but it was less. Id say from a 9 down to about a 6. Week 2 I did the full lap of Bunnings without leaning on the trolley like it was a walking frame. Week 3 I put my own socks on standing up. Lyn didnt say anything but I know she clocked it. Week 5 I mowed the whole yard, front and back, in one go. First time in about 2 years. Heres the link if youre interested: https://vibit.com.au/products/vibit-full-body-relief-bundle I only gave it a fair go because of the guarantee. After $1,060 I wasnt paying for another maybe. Its 50% off, comes with the guided routines, and theres a 30-day money-back guarantee. Use it for a month and if your feet dont feel like different feet, send it back for a full refund. They make them in small batches though and they do sell out, so its usually a wait for the next run. If youre the bloke whos already bought the whole aisle and stopped believing any of it, I get it. I was you. I had it in a cupboard for 5 months. Sarah still hasnt said I told you so. Shes waiting. I can tell.
