Review - "My wife and I were shown the photograph album and were surprised that there was something like this on the market. The album is easy to use and the instructions are very easy to read. We have started to insert all the photographs of our family and we wish there were more pages. We both feel this is a good idea to use as a memory box for our family to look through. It is a positive piece of equipment for patients to use."

Can be used by the individual to massage either back, arms or legs. Various models can be found on amazon.co.uk.

An app for anxiety.
