My husband and I both thought back pain was just something you accept after 60.
Every morning started the same way. He'd stand at the edge of the bed for a minute before taking his first few steps, and I'd need the kitchen counter just to straighten up properly.
We started talking to our doctor about surgery because it felt like we were running out of options. When we saw what private surgery could cost, we knew that wasn't realistic for us.
Then our daughter sent us FolioEase.
We bought the Buy One Get One Free offer so we could each have one. We've now been using them every evening for just over a month.
The biggest difference isn't that we're suddenly twenty again. It's the little things... getting out of the car, walking through Checkers, sleeping longer, and playing with the grandchildren without thinking about our backs every few minutes.
We genuinely wish we'd found this sooner.

My mom had been struggling with lower back pain for almost two years. Every time we visited she'd slowly lower herself into a chair and once she was sitting, that was it. Getting back up was another story.
When the specialist mentioned surgery, the estimate was between R120,000 and R180,000, not including recovery and follow-up appointments. We don't have medical aid, so it honestly felt impossible.
I came across FolioEase while scrolling Facebook and thought, "If it doesn't help, we're only out R799."
Three weeks later she phoned me just to say she'd slept through the entire night. I honestly couldn't remember the last time she'd said that.
She still uses it every evening while watching TV. It's become part of her routine and she's moving around the house with so much more confidence.
If someone you love is living with back pain, I'd try this before considering surgery.
✚ Non-invasive back therapy
Why thousands of South Africans are trying FolioEase before surgery
Surgery should feel like your last option — not your only one. Before committing to months of recovery and six-figure costs, see why more South Africans are choosing a non-invasive therapy they can use from home.
Imagine getting out of the car without bracing yourself. Walking through Checkers without counting your steps. Sitting through dinner without shifting in your chair every five minutes. That's what everyday life without constant back pain can feel like.

Slept through the night for the first time in two years
I've had lower back pain since 2021 and I was at the point where I was waking up three or four times a night. My doctor suggested physio but at R850 a session I could only afford to go twice a month. A friend told me about FolioEase and honestly I was skeptical. Used it for the first time on a Tuesday evening. By Thursday night I slept from 10pm to 5:30am without waking up once. I actually cried. My husband thought something was wrong. Three weeks in and it's become part of my evening routine. I don't know the science behind it but I know what I feel.

Avoided surgery. That's the only way I can put it.
My specialist quoted me R165,000 for spinal decompression surgery. I have no medical aid and there was no way I could afford that. I'd been managing with Myprodol and Deep Heat for about eight months when my daughter found this online. I was doubtful because I'd tried so many things. But after about ten days of using it every night I noticed I could get out of bed in the morning without having to sit on the edge for five minutes bracing myself. Now six weeks later I'm walking my usual 3km in the morning again. I'm not saying it works for everyone but for me it's been everything.

The heat from the infrared is something else
I bought this mainly because of the infrared red light feature. I've read about red light therapy for inflammation and wanted to try it for my sciatica. What surprised me is that you can actually feel the warmth going deep into the muscle — it's not like a hot water bottle on the surface. More like heat from the inside. My sciatic pain down my left leg has reduced by maybe 70 percent since I started using it three weeks ago. I still have some discomfort on bad days but nothing like before. Delivery was fast and the device itself feels solid and well made.

My wife bought it for me and I owe her one
Ek het rugpyn gehad vir omtrent vier jaar. Went to three different doctors, two chiropractors, tried cortisone injections twice. Nothing gave lasting relief. My wife saw this advertised and ordered it without even asking me. I was irritated at first because I thought it was another gimmick. Used it on a Friday night mostly just to keep the peace. Saturday morning I got up and walked to the kitchen without holding the wall. I've been using it every night since then. That was seven weeks ago. My morning stiffness is maybe twenty percent of what it was. I'm not completely fixed but I feel like a different person.

Stopped taking painkillers after two weeks
I was taking Myprodol every single day. Had been doing it for almost a year because the back pain was constant. I knew it wasn't good for me long term but I had no other way to get through the day. My colleague at work told me about this device. I was hesitant because R799 felt like a lot but when I calculated what I was spending on painkillers every month it made sense to try. After about two weeks of using FolioEase every evening I realized I hadn't taken a painkiller in four days. Now it's been six weeks and I maybe take one every ten days if I have a bad flare. That alone has changed my life.

Back on the golf course after eight months off
I'm 63 and golf has been my thing since I retired. Eight months ago my back got bad enough that I had to stop playing completely. I tried everything — physio, acupuncture, a chiropractor in Stellenbosch who I saw for three months. Some of it helped temporarily but nothing lasted. My son found FolioEase online and ordered it for my birthday. Honestly I didn't expect much. But after three weeks of daily use the stiffness in my lower back reduced dramatically. Last Saturday I played nine holes for the first time since last year. I won't pretend I'm 100 percent but I'm back on the course and that's everything to me.

My medical aid declined surgery so I found this
Discovery declined my pre-authorisation for a spinal procedure in February. I was devastated because I'd been waiting months for that approval. My doctor told me to keep managing with medication and physio in the meantime. I came across FolioEase while looking for alternatives online at about midnight. I ordered it that same night. The delivery was fast — arrived within two days. I've been using it for five weeks now and the difference in my daily pain levels is significant. I still have some discomfort but I'm no longer dreading getting out of bed every morning. Wish I had found this before the whole medical aid process.

Used it during load shedding too — battery lasts well
I'm a retired teacher, 68 years old, and I've had a bad back since a car accident in 2019. I've spent more money than I want to admit on different treatments over the years. What I like about FolioEase is that it's simple — you charge it and use it. No complicated settings. The infrared light you can feel working and the EMS pulses are strong enough to feel effective without being uncomfortable. I've been using it every evening for about a month. The pain in my lower back has come down a lot, particularly the stiffness I used to feel for the first two hours every morning. Also the battery lasts well even through a two-hour load shedding session which I appreciated.

Bought one for myself and then one for my mother
I bought FolioEase for my own back pain in March and after about three weeks I was seeing real results — less stiffness, sleeping better, not needing to take Grandpa powders every day. My mother is 71 and has had chronic back pain for years. She was very doubtful when I showed her mine but I let her try it a few times and she asked me to order one for her. She's been using hers for about a month now and called me last week to say she'd been to church and managed to sit through the whole two hour service without needing to stand up and stretch. For her that's huge. She hasn't been able to do that in years.

Three months in — still using it every single night
I want to give a longer term review because most people write reviews after two weeks. I've been using FolioEase for three months now. The first month the improvement was gradual — I noticed small things first, like being able to sit in my car for longer without discomfort, or standing at the braai without needing to find a chair after twenty minutes. By month two the morning stiffness was mostly gone. Now in month three I've reduced my sessions from every night to every second night and the results are holding. I'm 57 and this is the most consistent relief I've had from anything. I was paying R1,400 a month in physio and medication combined. This was R799 once.

I can pick up my grandchildren again
I'm a grandmother of four and for almost two years I couldn't pick up any of my grandchildren because of my back. It broke my heart every time the little ones came to visit and I had to ask someone else to lift them for me. My daughter ordered FolioEase for me after she saw it recommended in a WhatsApp group. I didn't believe it would work at my age — I'm 64 — but I tried it anyway. After about four weeks I noticed I was moving more freely. Last month my youngest grandchild, who is two, held her arms up to me and I just picked her up. I stood there holding her and I was crying. That is what this device did for me.

Skeptical husband turned believer
My wife ordered this and I told her it was a waste of money. I work in construction and my back has taken serious strain over 30 years. I've had MRIs, cortisone injections, everything. I didn't believe a small device with gel pads was going to do anything. She basically forced me to try it one evening. I used it for 25 minutes while watching TV and when I stood up I felt noticeably looser in my lower back. I didn't say anything to her that night. But I used it again the next evening and the evening after that. It's been five weeks. I told her last Sunday she was right. Those were not easy words to say but they were true.
