The Muscles are the largest organ, and it's health influences the quality and longevity of our lives. Muscle pain
can make us less active, more tense or fatigued. Everyday pressures and
stresses, overused injuries in athletes, whiplash trauma and conditions like fibromyalgia
or arthritis can produce muscular or "soft tissue" pain often characterized by
what many medical professionals call "trigger points." These small, hyperirritable
sites in the muscle tissue sometimes refer pain to other locations as in headaches
or sciatica.
Sometimes, pain can be so severe, persistent or wide spread that
it requires radical medical intervention. In many cases, however, pain management
clinicians and medical researchers have found that trigger point pain often responds
to non-invasive, firm, physical pressure, deep in the muscle tissue. This treatment
approach may be referred to as "ischemic compression," "myofascial release" "neuromuscular
therapy," "acupressure", "myotherapy" and deep tissue massage among many other
terms. All of these and related disciplines typically involve deep, sustained
pressure directly on trigger points. Such pressure usually causes the muscle to
relax, making it possible to stretch and eventually exercise back to pain-free
fitness and health.
Deep muscle therapy tools allow both patient and care givers
to apply the same kind of pressure to painful muscles as a regular part of everyday
self-care. Our tools can effectively supplement professional therapeutic care
for relieving muscular pain, stiffness and dysfunction.
TREAT YOURSELF TO DEEP RELIEF FROM
PAINFUL, KNOTTED, SPASMED MUSCLES - EVEN IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR
BACK!
This amazingly simple yet effective self-massager makes it
easy to apply pain-relieving deep compression directly to hard, knotted "trigger
points" anywhere they occur - breaking up tension even in the hardest-to-reach
muscles between your shoulder blades! If you have limited strength or mobility,
Thera Cane's patented design gives you all the reach and leverage you
need!
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Pressure applied to the muscles by
the Thera Cane helps to maximize the flow of oxygenated blood to the muscles.
This pressure aids in restoring muscle function by breaking up adhesions in
muscle fibers and tendons. The increased circulation helps the muscle to work
more efficiently.
EMPOWERMENT:
The Thera Cane
provides temporary relief from muscular tension, stiffness, tenderness and
soreness. It's simple to use and it puts relief where it belongs, in your hands.
The personal involvement necessary for using the Cane leads to an increased
desire to take more responsibility for one's own health. Using the Thera Cane
regularly will put you in touch with your body, closer than you've ever been
before, not to mention putting you in control of minor muscular aches and pains.
You are never alone when you have your Thera Cane with
you.
PRACTICAL
SOLUTIONS
We all have muscles that
occasionally get sore. It might go unnoticed until we reach for something, or
bend over. Sometimes a twist or turn is all it takes. This might produce a crick
in your neck or a hot spot between your shoulder blades. Either way it can hurt
and it just won't seem to go away. We've all tried rubbing the muscle to make
the pain lessen. However, it's hard to get in deep enough, or do it long enough,
maybe you just can't reach the spot on your own. With the Thera Cane you can
apply deep pressure massage to the back, neck, shoulders, legs, hips, arms,
buttocks, anywhere and everywhere... and we show you how.
