I remember in the 90s, you could go to Boots and you could buy one of
these machines to develop abdominal muscles. I am reaching a certain age

The current advert says it relieves pain and improves blood/oxygen flow.
I assume that pain relief is similar to having a TENS machine. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/transcutaneous-electrical-nerve-

Just a very, very expensive version of a TENS unit.
I've a TENS foot massager that my wife used. It didn't seem to help much.
