ECP is a Better Way!
Developed at the Harvard Medical School, this new treatment has been studied and used for over 50 years. It is offered at over 6,000 treatment centers worldwide and at leading US hospitals, such as: Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins Medical Center, Texas Heart Institute, and, now, the Adkins Medical Group's Compression Therapy Center.

This incredibly powerful treatment is call External Counterpulsation or ECP. Once considered as the "best kept secret in medicine," ECP is an external heart and circulatory assistant that helps the heart heal itself.

How ECP Works
You take this beautifully simple treatment one hour per day, five days per week for seven consecutive weeks. You lie on a specially designed bed. Your technician then wraps the ECP cuffs around your lower extremities, from your ankles to your waist. Your own heartbeat, monitored by a computer, makes the ECP machine operate. When your heart beats, the ECP cuffs relax; when your heart rests between beats, the cuffs inflate and gently squeeze your legs. This alternating pressure and release enhances the natural return of blood to the heart.

The ECP process increases the heart's oxygen and nutrient supply, reducing the heart's oxygen demand and workload, making your heart's fundamental job easier.

With ECP… You Can
- Do the things you love to do every day.
- Live without chest pain and angina
- Become nitroglycerin-free
- Take long walks without heart pain
- Play with your children and grandchildren
- Get in the game instead of just watching
- Get your life back, be active ... be alive!
