Chiropractors, massage therapists, physical therapists and occupational therapists have known for years the effectiveness of Trigger Point Therapy. For them, the Therapress prevents Thumb burn-out, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis and osteo-arthritis, common occupational injuries when repetitive stress is placed unevenly on the thumbs, wrists and arms. Injuries can take time to heal and can diminish your ability to utilize Trigger Point release in therapy. ENCOURAGES POSITIVE BODY MECHANICS
The contoured hand grip encourages therapists to maintain a straight wrist while working. Releasing trigger points with Thera*Press is far less taxing on muscles and supports positive skeletal alignment achieving a quicker response with less effort.
Carefully notice the bottom of the Thera*Press tool. It has been specifically designed for loosening large muscles such as the erectors or the upper trapezius. The rounded shape to its base adds another dimension to the tool enabling the therapist to take additional strain off hands and arms while doing preliminary strokes. The Thera*Press is made of white, light-weight, unbreakable, high tech plastic. Its contoured hand grip prevents slipping, even in an oily hand.
"It's the single most important investment to my massage business since graduation. Excessive wear and tear on my hands is no longer an issue. The pain is gone and with the help of the Thera*Press. I've been able to increase the quality of my deep tissue therapy." - Linda Mancine, L.M.T., Seattle, WA
