Hi Sasha,
Thought I would post this question in the proper forum in order to help other benefit from your advice!
I appreciate the info on the Proellixe Machine that I tried out. You cannot believe the pain my knees are in right now. I really have no one to blame but myself as I have not had any supervision using it and knee surgery was not that long ago. I have just gotten so frustrated with not being able to walk and told that I would have to wear a hideous leg brace (off loader) basically until I am old enough to have knee replacement surgery. A salon here in Vancouver was advertising the machine and after doing some basic research on the technology seemed like it would be worth a try. At the time I had NO idea that there were other machines even available. I basically just stand on it (as no instruction or direction) and let the program run. More recently, after more research realized that I should not stand on it straight legged so yesterday decided to try and do a basic squat and "skier squat" (backwards) while the program was running and today can barely walk, as my knees are so irritated even the healthier one! The machine has a flimsy handle so did hold on but no real weight put on it and transitioned on it while it was running the program which may have been the biggest problem.
I have now been on it for 3 weeks 5x a week for 10min but couldn't even go today because of my knees. I sure hope I haven't done more damage.
Question? I have about 10 sessions left that I paid for...is there any benefit to my going to them with proper technique the may help my knee? Right now my right Quadricep is approx 1 1/2 inches smaller than the left and even an ems muscle stimulator has a hard time engaging that muscle as it's practically gone, ugh! Could you possibly suggest what would be safe for me to do on the machine (poses or just stand on it?) that may be beneficial for my knee and not damage it? They don't use hz but show levels mine is 2 min on level 7, 6 min on 12 and 2 min on 8 if that helps but they do have different programs or can use it on manual.
