When you receive your Pro-Relief, the package will include a general-purpose instructional DVD that will help you learn how to use it. We have developed many techniques to relieve tension, stress and muscle spasms in any area of your body. Sport-Specific models include an additional DVD to address the common injuries and training issues associated with that particular sport. Numerous attachments have been designed to allow you to customize your Pro-Relief for your specific needs. There are even attachments to convert it to a cane to help you get around on those days when acute pain cannot be fully relieved. Additional rollers and massage heads made from softer materials, in different shapes and sizes, are all available in the accessory department of our web-store.
The absolute most effective way to use the Pro-Relief is by employing the lever/fulcrum technique to search for and release trigger points in the musculature. This action allows you to control the amount of pressure (therapeutic compression) applied, as well as direct the pressure to a specific location. Trigger points are common to everyone and can result from a variety of trauma ranging from an auto accident or surgery to strains encountered by athletic activities or lifting something improperly. Trigger points are areas where the muscle is continuously contracted. Blood flow is restricted causing metabolic waste products to accumulate creating a painful knot. Neurotransmission from the brain to the muscle is in disarray sending pain signals to other parts of your body. When you apply pressure to a tight or sore muscle and this referred pain is present, you know you have found a trigger point. As you direct pressure therapy to the trigger point using the techniques demonstrated in our instructional DVD, you will feel these pain signals shooting to different areas.

For example, a triggerpoint in your shoulder may refer pain to your elbow producing a pain similar to “tennis elbow”. You treat the tennis elbow but it keeps coming back and you can’t understand why. Your Doctor attributes it to ergonomics or repetitive motion. Further treatment is now up to you in the form of changing your habits and posture as well as eliminating activities that irritate the problem. Herein lies the importance of performing trigger point therapy with the Pro-Relief.

The instructional DVD will show you how to use your Pro-Relief to locate and treat common trigger points getting them to release and free-up restricted movement. You’ll learn to use it as an adjunct to conventional stretching as you prepare your muscles for activity. These procedures will also help eliminate pain and prevent injuries. Refer to our website to learn more about muscle physiology and trigger point therapy. We will be continually updating it with new methods for eliminating pain, enhancing workouts, preventing injuries and relieving stress. Use your Pro-Relief regularly to improve your overall health and well-being.
REMEMBER…TAKE THE PRO-RELIEF WITH YOU—
AND LEAVE YOUR PAIN BEHIND.
