(audience clapping) welcome! - hey, great to be here! - i have heard that the circulation promoter feels amazing, and it's good to use for massaging tired feet. i would just love to try the unit. may i try the circulation promoter? - yes, well, you got one right there, ay we'll spray a little bon t botto. - thgo. - e bottf my ft, i have not had this much pampering in a long time. - there you go, okay, now, put it on.

now, this machine's very small, okay? but it's most powerful. we just click it on. - okay. - now, let me giveowerful. you a warning, always go slow, because this is very powerful. little bit at a time, until you feel the soothing massage. let me know when you start to feel it. - ooh, i'm starting to feel it. (both laughing) that's exciting! (laughing) - okay, you can turn it up or down by turning this dial. - oh, my gosh! but i feel lots right now! - okay. - wow! - turn up a little bit more. - okay. - you gotta feel the muscles, - oh, my god! (laughing) (audience members laughing) this is, i feel it all the way up my calves already! - yes, okay. what are you feeling, exactly? it's like, a little bit of vibrating, or a pulsing? - yes, it comes in waves. so, you find the circulation actually improving all the way up past your knees. - i can feel it all the way up to here. - okay, great! now, you can control the intensity. you can also select the mode. so it always feels good. now, i'm gonna treat myself to a foot massage. - are you, too? this is great! - well, you know, if you love a foot massage, this is it. but you've had more painful condition, this is also important to use.

again, put it on, sit back and relax. for someone more serious problem, they need more power. that's why i make it very powerful. now i'm gonna turn it up, (laughing) (audience laughing) until you try this, you have no idea how good this feels! i use this when i sit in front computer, i use it at home, in front computer, you stagnation, right? no flow. when you're working computer, i use this, keep everything flowing. when at home, after i play sports, i use this to recover from injuries, i play sports next day. see what's happening? it's pumping, pumping, pumping. you can feel the circulation go all the way up. as this is going on, okay, the muscle relaxes. the blood and the circulation start to flow. let me explain to you how this works, okay? and i hope this makes sense. imagine, if i got this rope, okay? it's tight, around my leg. now, if i try to walk, what happens? your feet start to get numb, okay? you start to get swelling, water retention in ankle, because it's not flowing. now, how i'm going get things to flow?

i have to untie the knot. how does it do that? what this little machine here, it get the muscle pumping and pumping, and pumping, and that muscle go, "ah, i feel good, baby!" (laughing) (audience members laughing) - i, honestly, i can feel the relaxation happening. - yes! - i think it's so great that i can do this from home. i don't always have time to go for appointments and massages, and the cost. this is wonderful for me, thank you! - yes, well i designed this so people like yourself, okay, who have no time, or maybe no access to right doctor, can get the wonderful foot massage to relieve all the aches and pain, and so that you can sleep better, and feel better. - it is absolutely miraculous, and i can feel it all the way up to my hips. - being a woman of a certain age, i've been having a lot of problem with my feet, my calves, and my knees, and without dr-ho's circulation promoter, i'm not sure i'd be able to continue. - i stand on my feet all day, i tried dr-ho's, i notice the circulation in my legs were much better, and the pain was gone.

- anybody that suffers from pain in their legs and knees would have such benefit from the circulation promoter. - you know, the stimulation from the circulation promoter cause the muscle to contract and relax in different sequence. now, by doing that, it caused a pumping action, which activate the arteries, and the vein, and the lymphatic. we can actually relax the muscle, and help you feel and function better. but understand this, it will not cure you diabetes, or any other health condition you may have. - does anybody in our studio audience suffer from pain in their legs and knees? yes? yeah, them? - please, come on down. okay, go ahead, turn the dial. - okay. - and slowly turn it up, little bit at a time, until you feel the soothing massage. - yeah, oh! - wow! - what are you feeling? - it feels good. - yeah. yeah, now it's up to my calves, i can definitely feel it. - now it's going up your calf? can you feel the circulation going right up to the knee now? - absolutely. - does that feel good? - yeah, really good. - can you imagine using this at the end of the day? - absolutely. - at the end of the day, go, "oh!" and you feel so tired and sluggish, use this, massage your feet, relieve the aches and pain,

you gonna sleep a lot better. - how's it feeling? - incredible. really good. - yeah, it feels amazing. - dr. ho, you mentioned earlier that this can be used as a total body system. - oh, i have knee pain. - may i treat your knee? - please! and that's self-adhesive electrode. you don't need to put any gel, or any band, it just adhere to your skin by itself, just like that, see? very simple. so, with knee pain, whether it's sports injury, arthritis, this will work really well, okay? even if you have metal implants in your knee, or your hip, already, this is safe to use. in fact, i highly recommend it. now, you can, you're ready to go. so, again, go ahead, slowly turn it up, until you feel the impulses in your knee. - ooh, yeah, i feel it now. (laughing) oh, yeah, it feels good. it feels as if there's something going on there. it's tingly, but it feels good. - when you send the impulses to the knee joint, or hip joint, or any joint, where you have arthritic pain, or swelling, what it does, relieves the pain, and relax all the muscle around it.

so, after about 20 minutes, you'll feel like the whole joint is lighter, able to put more weight on it, and have less pain. - can you see yourselves using this regularly? - absolutely. - definitely. - and the nice about this, it's easy, it's safe, and it's effective. it's also portable, and that's why i developed the system, so people like yourself, and people who have pain at home, you can use this in the comfort of your home, and you can use it anytime you want, and that's the key. - there was somebody in our audience who was saying they had back pain. was there, was that you? - so, what we'll do, we'll put the large flextone pads on, those are designed for treating large body areas like the lower back, so one on this side, and the we'll put the other one on the other side. so brent, come on over here. just have a seat, and i'll turn it up little bit at a time, and let me know when you start to feel something. here it comes. - oh, yeah, there it is. (laughing) (audience members laughing) - now, you're at about two, now i turn it up just a little bit more, you feel it? - yes, i (laughing) definitely feel it! - now, you can control yourself. hold on to the machine. - okay. - it's powerful, eh? - yeah. - does it feel good? - yeah, it feels really nice.

- it goes deep inside. - yeah, but not, it's not a constant, it's just comes, and then it gives you a little break. - it's constantly changing. - yeah. - that's why your body never get used to it. that's why, right away, your muscle can get nice and relaxed. can you feel your muscle relaxing already? - yeah, this two, this is just really nice and relaxing. i could stay here all day.

- well, today, we have a renowned pain specialist, who has developed an incredible new innovation to help relieve lower back pain. dr. michael ho has over 20 years of clinical experience treating patients with chronic pain. he's been recognized for his ability to relieve pain safely and effectively by targeting the cause of the pain. combining innovation and clinical science, he's developed many well-known and effective home therapy products that are helping millions around the world. today, dr. ho will demonstrate his new hophysio belt, designed to decompress the lower back to relieve pain. please welcome dr. michael ho. - hello, john. - doctor. - hi, everyone. first of all, i'd like to thank all my patients and customers out there for all your trust, support, and referrals over the years. thank you very much! - let's get right to it though. what is the secret to relieving back pain? - you know, john, after years of treating back patients, i can tell you that most back problems are mechanical in nature.

most back pain is caused by combination of muscle tension, stiff joints, and degenerated discs, and pinched nerves. - so if the cause is mechanical, taking a pill is not gonna solve the problem. - you got that right. you know, while taking a pill seems easy, but there is no magic pill for back pain. taking drugs can be detrimental to your health. on the other hand, john, decompression or traction therapy is a proven technique for relieving back pain. and after years of research and development, i'm very proud to say i have designed a new decompression belt that can instantly help relieve your back pain, anywhere, anytime. - so how does it work? - john, it's much more than a regular support belt. when pumped up, it increases in height to stretch your tight muscle and decompress the joint and disc to help relieve your back pain. when it rises, it also lifts and unload the weight of your upper body off your low back so the muscles can relax. - well, that sounds like something i could use. can i try it? - absolutely. but before we put the belt on, i want you to step up on the posture podium here, because i want to measure your spinal alignment

before we put the belt on to see how my hophysio belt can help you. - alright. - okay, good. you're on the right spot. - well, anything that can improve my posture is gonna be great. - [dr. ho] okay, can you look straight ahead please? - okay. - [dr. ho] oh, john, i see why you're getting back pain, okay? you're slouching forward about three inches. - that's not good. - [dr. ho] okay, now hang on and i'll measure your height. see, i think i know why you get back pain. when you're slouching, you put strain on your back. - oh, no, that's not good! - now step down here. i want you to put my belt on, and see how this belt will help with your posture and your back pain. this is a very easy belt to use. we just clip the hose on and push my foot pump. just go ahead, pump it up. as you can see, the belt is rising. - [john] yeah, i can feel it too. - it's lifting the upper body, and it's stretching your back. now that it's full, we can just unclip it, and you go on with your day. - i mean, i feel taller, i feel straighter, i can feel my back looking good. my entire core feels like it's being completely stretched and supported. i mean, i can't believe how much better my back is feeling.

- you definitely look better, okay? well, why don't you step back up on the posture podium because i want to measure your posture now. - alright. - okay, look straight ahead again. - okay. - [dr. ho] oh-ho, you're looking better! okay, i can see you are straightened up by almost two inches, and you're actually taller now by almost an inch. - you know, this is starting to make sense. with the belt on, you stop slouching, and that reduces the strain and pain on your back. - that's right. - you know what, this really works. it's giving me great support. it feels comfortable. it doesn't restrict my breathing. matter of fact, you know what? i bet i could go to work, and nobody would even know i have this on. it's that comfortable. - it's not bulky at all. - and now how does my tummy look? does it look flatter? - you look like you lost some weight. you're looking good, man. - that's a good thing. - i've had pretty bad back pain for about three years. i've gone through different physiotherapists, chiropractors. i have dr. ho's belt on right now, and i definitely feel an improvement in my back. i kind of feel taller. the pain in my lower back has definitely gone away

i've had some comments, of course, on, "hey, did you lose some weight? ook thner," sosome comments, that's always a good thing. - i've got no pain, and i feel great. - dr. ho, who should be using this belt? - you know, john, i highly recommend my hophysio belt for anyone with back pain, hip pain, or radiating leg pain. (upbeat music) - i've had lower back pain, and along with my lower back pain i've had problems in my legs. and both my back pain and the pain in my legs have gone away after wearing this belt. - i'm very surprised that in a half an hour wearing the belt it relieved the back pain, it's actually got rid of it, and relieved the tingling sensation in my legs. - john, my lower back is killing me, because i'm carrying all this extra weight. - [john] wow! - but if i can take this weight off, my back will instantly feel better, and that's exactly how my belt works, unloads the weight off your lower back.

- see, that makes sense. less pressure and work for your back muscles means less back pain. - okay, john. give me a hand, put this fat belly on the weighing scale here, because i wanna show you how my belt can help you lift the weight off your lower back. okay, that's a lot of weight right there. - now, imagine taking that kind of pressure off your sore back. - look at this, john, okay. when i'm pumping it up, my belt will actually lift the weight off the lower back. so we went from 20 to eight, seven, six, five, four. the weight just keeps decreasing, because the belt will lift the upper body weight off the lower back. now we're down to almost zero weight. it's like going to outer space, zero gravity. you know, my belt will help to relieve the pressure and the pain off your back. until now, the only way to decompress your back was to hang upside-down or use a clinical decompression bed. - i have no lower back pain when i have this belt on. playing with the kids, i feel like i'm very supported. i feel my lower back is decompressed. there's no compression. i can bend over.

i can twist both directions. i can lift them up with no problems. - should someone that uses those inversion tables or the big machines or decompression beds use this belt? - yes, they do work, but once you stand up, the pain can quickly return. the problem is you can't go to a clinic every time your back hurts, and you can't travel with an inversion table. with my hophysio belt, you can use it every day at work, at home, cooking, gardening, caring for your children, playing sports, while you're traveling, even in bed. it's a back pain relief belt designed to fit your lifestyle. - see, i like the idea that you don't have to depend on anybody. - most back patients need ongoing therapies they just can't afford. my belt can relieve the back pain and save them time and money. - the way i see it, your hophysio belt makes home physio possible and affordable for people with chronic back pain. - before i put the belt on, my back was quite sore in the lower area, and after this, half an hour, 20 minutes,

whatever it's been, it's feeling a lot better now, much much better. - my back feels great. and the best part about it is, you can do it in the privacy of your own home, your car, at work. i feel like i don't have to keep going to physio, basically. i now have hophysio at home. - if you suffer with back pain, if everything else has failed, you have to try my hophysio belt. why? because it works! no, pills, no appointments, just less pain, less bills. with my belt, you can work better, play more, relax and regain your passion for life. this is what you need. - now, stay tuned to find out how you can order your hophysio belt. - [announcer] do you suffer from back pain? try dr. ho's back belt, a back pain solution that is now covered by many insurance plans, even medicare. - the belt allowed me to walk

(laughs) it's very nice. it makes my back feel straight,

it makes me relaxed, and it's very, very comfortable. - you know, i've been treating back patients for over 20 years. i believe that anyone who does repetitive work is prone to back pain. if you sit, stand, lift, or bend a lot, you should be using my hophysio belt. you'll love this belt! it' like having a customized back support that moves with you. it will help to relieve your pain and save your back. - you just feel like the pressure is right off your back and you could run for miles and do whatever. - being able to pick my daughter up is amazing and just embracing her and showing her love was impossible before, but now with this belt, i can do it. - anybody that's got a bad back is gonna love this. they're gonna love you. - doctor. ho, is it better to sit or lie down when you're using the hophysio belt? - well, john, both will work.

my belt will decompress your back whether you're standing, walking, sitting, or lying down. when possible, i do recommend that you us my belt lying down because it's just much easier to decompress your back when you're not fighting gravity and when you use my belt at night, you won't be tossing or turning or waking up the nagging back pain in the morning. - it's complete relief. it's amazing. i can't even describe it. i would never be able to lie on my back and now, i have no pain whatsoever. - you're getting a good night's rest, but then you are more ready to face the next day. you have more energy, and you can be more successful in your job. - look, john, here's a model of the spine. the white represents the bony vertebrae, the yellow's the disk. now my finger is the nerve. look what happens when i put weight and pressure on the disk. it flattens out and the nerves get pinched. ow, this will hurt. now when i take the weight off and the pressure off,

no more pain! that's how my belt works. - well, that makes sense. - well, let's put the weight on a scale to show how my belt really helps with your back pain. - alright. - okay, go ahead and pump it up. see what happens. when you pump this belt up, it increases in height to lift your upper body weight off the lower back. see the weight? from 20 pounds right down to six, five, four, three, two, one, zero weight. no more pressure on your back. my belt works by decompressing the spinal discs and the joint. it also stretches the tight muscles and keeps the weight off the lower back. that's how it helps to relieve your back pain without drugs or surgery. - you can only take pain pills for so long, and it just masks it. it doesn't do anything. - since i've been wearing the belt, things have improved. my back feels a lot better. i can do things that i wasn't able to do before. - what have you been doing for your pain? are you taking pills with harmful side effects, or wasting time and money on a promise that never ends?

now my belt helps to keep the back together, supports and stabilize your back to prevent it. second, a degenerative disk acts like a bulging tire. look what happens here. under pressure, it will actually bulge out or herniate. this causes irritation on the nerve, which causes back pain and possible leg pain. now my belt have to decompress, takes the pressure off the disc, helps to reduce the herniation and nerve irritation, and this helps to relieve your back pain and related leg pains too. - it's been bad for a long time, since last year. i haven't played golf since last august. i haven't been able to do anything. before, i had so much pain in my legs, i couldn't walk. - well, mitch, it's really nice to see you walking. - the belt, it allowed me to walk for the first time in a year without a cane. terrific. - that's amazing, dr. ho. how did your belt help him out? - well, john, to look inside his body, we took x-ray of mr. mitchell's back with and without the belt on.

then we had a back specialist analyze the structure improvement. his results were extraordinary. with the x-ray on, look at this, his x-ray shows there's an increase in the disc space. and when we look at this smooth line, it indicates it improvement in the spinal alignment. and down here, we see there's an improvement in the stability of his lower back. - so your belt helped him with his mechanical deficiencies. - [dr. ho] that's right. - and that's why his back, his legs, they're all working better and feeling better. - mm-hmm. you know, that's right, john. you know, i test my belt on many people, and i'm confident that my belt will help you relieve your back pain like nothing else. and i can assure you all my testimonials are from real people just like you, people who suffer chronic back pain who get relief using my belt. now i want you to try my belt to see how it works for you, and i guarantee that it will work for you. try my belt for 30 days, and if you're not 100% satisfied, just return it for a full refund, no questions asked. it will change your life. - so what are you waiting for?

it's less painful. with less pain, the muscles can relax and become stronger. and it's more stable because my belt will hold your midsection together so your core is stronger. now having a strong core and a stae back is important for your work. recently, a team of paramedics tested my belt, and here's what they discovered. - having the belt just made me feel so much more confident about being able to lift without having pain. - i find it forces you to stay in the right position. i have a tendency to do a little bit of a hunch as i kinda go to reach over, and this doesn't allow me to do that. it's kinda stretching it out and taking the stress off the lower back. so i can see how it would prevent injuries as well. - now what about athletes with back pain, should they use your belt? absolutely, john. you know, many golfers, hockey players, bowlers, and football players love my belt because it keeps them in the game. henoc and cauchy are football players. they use my belt for their back pain from working out. first, they lift the weight without the belt, then they try again with the belt on.

- it's definitely giving me more support. consequently, i'm hitting the ball better. - i've been hitting balls for almost an hour and i feel no pain. - the de-stress belt will help me get out and play more hockey. - it's very easy to use. you just velcro it on, pump it up, and you start feeling better right away. now i'm very impressed how much support i'm getting from the belt. it's comfortable. it doesn't restrict me from doing pretty much anything. and it's not bulky. i can even wear it under my shirt. i'm also surprised by how well it can lift and decompress my back. - you know, my belt is powerful enough for football players, yet gentle enough for seniors. my whole physio belt works by unloading, stretching, and decompressing your back to relieve pain. look on the scale here. go ahead and pump it up, john. when you pump up the belt, it will lift the weight of the upper body off your lower back. see on the scale? the weight went from 20, now to nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.
