Testimonial Doug Testimonial Marilyn Testimonial Aron
Doug – Noticed a marked increase in leg and body strength. My varicose veins have shown a decrease in swelling. My prostate/bladder has shown an improved flow and my nights sleep has improved. Marilyn – I am happy to say that the pain and discomfort from my arthritis has been relieved. I lost 3 kilos in six weeks. I feel more energized. I can now stand up directly from a sitting position where I use to have to give myself a little push. I find it easier to get in and out of a car. I just feel better all over! Aron – I received heavy head injuries where my ears were swollen and black. I also had heavy bruising and swelling behind my ears plus a couple of more bruises and welts on my head. Within 4 days, all of the swelling and bruising had completely disappeared and my skin colour returned too normal. I was amazed and happy with the quick results.

Bernadette – It’s Fantastic!
I no longer need to take any medication. I can walk with ease and sleep better. It sure is keeping my arthritis and fibro myalgia in control and I’ve lost 3.5 Kg. SilverMink really works.
  Barbara – I lost 11 kilos in 4 months and my body toned and strengthened at the same time. My hips have regained their mobility. I have more energy and strength all over and all I have to do is stand and sit on the SilverMink, the spiralling of the plate does the rest.

Foot Massager Survey Report
March - October 2007


We initiated the use of the massager in March 2007. In the first month, the participants were treated for 5 minutes only, but in the second month we increased the time to 15min, and we now use 15min as the standard time for each massage. Depending upon the particular condition of each individual, massages may be given two times per week up to five times per week. Residents with a heart condition are excluded from the program.

Before any treatment is provided, authority is given by RN in the first instance and then by Physiotherapist. 

In order to understand the benefits of the Foot Massager, we commenced the survey in March, 2007 and closely observed the results through to October 8.

Participants have been divided into six categories:

Benefits as reported by the participants:

Result Survey from Bernard Chan Nursing Home

As a result of the program, in addition to the above benefits, the participants have become more lively, alert and conscious of their place in the schedule of massage, ie. If the treatment for a particular individual occurs on Monday and Friday, that individual is aware of those days. This has added an extra value to the program in that , where prior, no day was any different from another, now most of the participants are aware of each day of the week and the day on which they will have foot massage.

With regard to “circulation”, there has been clear evidence of improvement. Whereas, prior to the commencement of the program, participants tended to have cold hands and feet, they have become warm. Where a participant may have had feet with purple colouring, this colouring has diminished and it has been replaced with pink.

Stirling Manor Nursing Home
We have great success with the residents suffering with the Parkinson’s- you can literally see the machine increases mobility in their hands and arms after use. Arthritic patients have told us that the machine has eased, and in case removed the pain they feel on a daily basis from their hips, back as well as knees. more...

What is also amazing is that after 10 months of persistent use of the machine, the Baker's cyst has also disappeared.  I no longer feel a lump on the back of my knee now.  more...


Catherine - Australia
Since I started using 2 weeks ago, I seem to have no problems with my vertigo. I stopped line dancing & gardening since I suffered from vertigo, but after using the machine & after returning to line dancing & back to gardening I seem to cope very well without any spells of vertigo. more...
