The Pro-Relief is an advanced training device designed to help athletes and active people relieve the muscle dysfunction and trigger points that effect performance and training. It is designed to be used before, during and after training and practice. It can even be used during competition. Trigger points restrict an athlete’s range of motion, cause pain and predispose an athlete to injury. They are a common problem and most athletes and trainers are familiar with them and how they affect athletic capability. Over 90% of all sports injuries are muscular. Intervention must be immediate to avoid chronic pain and prolonged dysfunction. The Pro-Relief is a do-it-yourself device that can provide the immediate therapy and pain relief critical to keeping an athlete in the game without compromising their performance.
Flexibility is an essential ingredient to athletic performance. Conventional stretching has no effect on trigger points. A trigger point will react to stretching by tightening up even further. In fact, since a trigger point actually shortens a muscle, stretching it can do more harm than good as it puts more strain and tension on connective tissue (tendons, ligaments and fascia) which does not have the same elasticity as a muscle. It is important to understand that trigger points are common and anyone who is physically active usually has them. They can result from trauma or injury, repetitive motion, muscle compensation and nutritional deficiencies. Latent trigger points can remain in a muscle for years causing chronic pain and weakened muscles that strain easier than normal.
There is only a few ways to deactivate or relieve a trigger point. An athlete can visit a Doctor for a triggerpoint injection; this is highly effective but considered a last resort as it is very difficult to do successfully, can cause inadvertent damage to surrounding tissue-organs-or nerves, and only a few trigger points can be addressed at one time. The spray and stretch method, also administered by a Doctor or Physical Therapist, can be effective but difficult to do successfully. It requires freezing the skin (with a cold spray) overlying the triggerpoint and then stretching the muscle. The difficulties are first identifying the trigger point and its referred pain signals, then applying the spray in such a way as to not chill the muscle itself. A cold muscle is not inclined to stretch and since pain would be subdued by the spray, it would be easy to overstretch the muscle causing damage to the connective tissue. The safest and most effective way to release a triggerpoint is by deep therapeutic compression. A therapist or trainer specializing in trigger point therapy can get the job done if they can feel or identify the trigger points. Deep trigger points are almost impossible to feel by hand. The ultimate method is to release them yourself as only you can feel that “electrical” sensation a trigger point emits and the referred pain accompaniment. You can feel it release and follow the pain pattern with continual pressure to be sure it is completely deactivated. Of course, the best way to do this is to use the Pro-Relief.
The Pro-Relief can also enhance workouts and training. It was not designed solely for trigger point therapy. It can warm-up muscles using the roller method and can relieve tension and spasm with the stroking method. There are many attachments available that can help keep an athlete’s body pain free and functioning correctly. Unrestricted neurotransmission between the muscles and brain is crucial to athletic performance. The Pro-Relief can minimize the stress of competition and help an athlete maintain coordinated movement and mental alertness when the game is on the line.

What is in the Dealer Package?
The Coaches and Trainers Dealer Opportunity Package consists of two Pro-Reliefs with a packet of information comprised of sales and marketing tips and other procedural information. Through our testing, we found the easiest way to sell the Pro-Relief is to use it yourself and let it be seen. No doubt, most of you have athletes who suffer from some form of limited flexibility or pain or are prone to injuries. Obviously you will want to contact them right away and have them go to our website for information, purchase, etc. Be sure to include the Pro-Relief in your training protocol to give your athletes a warm-up routine they can use every time they practice, work-out or play. Not only will their strength and flexibility increase, but they will be able to avoid injuries and get more out of their game. When you receive your Pro-Reliefs, keep them both handy so when an athlete shows up for their work-out or practice session you can go through the warm-up routine with them. Demonstrate by using yours as they follow along. By exposing your athletes to the benefits of using the Pro-Relief first-hand, you are basically “soft-selling” and they’ll soon be asking you to get them one. As you learn more about the techniques for using the Pro-Relief, you can even dedicate more time during a practice or workout session to teach them how to use it for stretching; especially those students whose flexibility limitations hinder their progress with you. You can also offer further instruction with it to those athletes who purchase one.
Let’s not forget your own benefits from using the Pro-Relief. Aside from the extra income as a dealer and more effective training due to your athlete’s increased physical capabilities, it can have a huge effect on your own daily routine. Coaches and trainers encounter the same occupational hazards as anyone who works outside all day. Being on your feet 90% of the time can lead to back problems and other muscle stiffness developing trigger points and muscle weakness in your neck shoulders and legs. Repetitive motion injuries caused by overuse or improper warm-up and the stress of competition can leave you with trigger points that make you irritable, short-tempered and take all of the fun out of teaching others.
So get trigger point conscious and discover the benefits of the Pro-Relief.
