摘要 A device and method for activating the circulation of the lymphatic system in the legs of a user (100), is described. The device includes a T-shaped support 12 having a main shaft 14 with a cross shaft 16 mounted at the proximal end 14B and a base 18 mounted at the distal end 14A. Coil springs (26, 28) are mounted at one end to ends (26A, 28A) of the cross shaft or arm and at the other end (26B and 28B) to the supporting stirrups (30, 31) for the heel 103A of the user in a sitting position. The base is comprised of a first crossbar 18A and a second crossbar 18B which can be disassembled for shipping and storage. To activate the circulation of the lymphatic system, the heels of the user are first inserted into the supporting stirrups. Next, the user applies a downward force on the stirrups with the heels and finally, the user releases the downward force on the stirrups. The springs are constructed so that the legs of the user are moved in a vertically oscillating direction without significant exercise of the leg muscles and is particularly adapted for users who are unable to participate in normal activity due to age, illness or accident.
