Electro therapy...

Noticed this shop which has been operating since after the Chinese New Year. It was always busy with clients waiting outside the shop even before it opens. The first 2-3 months it was opened, more than 600 people would go there to get their therapy daily...to get their electric shocks, so called. It's free! Each session lasts for about 30 minutes. You sit on the chair with the electro pads. Many people swear that it works!
Four months along, the number of patrons have dwindled to around 300, not because the therapy is getting less popular but it seems people have been buying the units. Each one of the products cost more than 11k. Seems more than 30 units have been sold. This is a good business plan....4 months and a turnover of 350k!

What is this electro therapy? Basically, it uses electrical energy to treat. I think if the above product works, then maybe a tens (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator) machine would work work just as fine....and at a fraction of the cost. I used to own one...it basically massages and stimulates the nerves. So maybe it also encourage good blood flow. It was battery operated and shaped like your regular tv remote control. All you do is stick the pads to the part of your body you want to massage...then adjust the controls and your muscles will heave and move. It's kinda weird but you feel as though you are massaged. You can get a set for less than RM300. Now compare that to the 11k electro therapy pad!

For your Electo Therapy you can use The MINI PRO2 which is a professional strength massager in a personal, self-use size, A lot of power in a little package. Using the same patented Thumper percussive action, the MINI PRO2 was designed for those hard to reach areas like the shoulders and mid-back. Weighing only 3 pounds (1.4 kg), the MINI PRO2 has three electronically regulated power settings for use on both thick and thin muscles. It's perfect for packing and travel.
