Men and women who make their living in these professions suffer from similar types of injuries as most athletes. The fact is most injuries on the job are muscular. The only difference is that these injuries are a result of repetitive motion versus athletic overuse. Low-back injuries due to constant bending, lifting and rotating at the lower back are common as are shoulder injuries due to repetitive reaching overhead.
When these injuries occur, production levels are affected and the potential for more serious injuries is drastically increased. Most workers try to “work through” muscle strains and minor joint injuries, but eventually the pain catches up to them and they have to miss work to get medical treatment—which often times requires a prolonged absence for recovery. Regular use of the Pro-Relief before, after and even on the job (during regular breaks) can eliminate these potential problems entirely and result in a safer working environment for everyone.
For you contractors and business owners, we currently have testing underway to quantify how regular use of the Pro-Relief will effect production levels, employee retention, injuries on the job, missed work days and other safety issues. The purpose is to lower Workman’s Compensation costs. The Pro-Relief has medical credibility and a track record of success dealing with muscular injuries.
The instructional DVD will show you how to recognize potential repetitive motion injuries and avoid them. It will also teach you how to use the Pro-Relief to relieve pain, increase flexibility and locate and deactivate trigger points. We also demonstrate the regular routine you can follow twice a day to keep your muscles healthy and functioning properly. The routine will explain how to probe for trigger points and potential muscle problems so you can treat them before they become debilitating.
Some general observations regarding Trigger Points:
Specific physical intervention is critical to relieving trigger points. Ice and heat do not deactivate them, nor does electro-stim, ultrasound or chiropractic adjustments. Relaxation techniques such as yoga, meditation and biofeedback have no effect on them. Conventional stretching is not specific enough to affect trigger points and, more often than not, can make them worse as well as damage the connective tissue of the stretched muscle. Most therapeutic massage techniques, Shiatsu, Craniosacral, Deep Tissue/Sports Massage, Swedish, and even Myofascial Release are too broadly applied to have more than a superficial, temporary effect on trigger points. Even though some trigger points can be successfully located and therapeutic compression applied by another person, the most effective relief—other than, perhaps, trigger point injections by a physician—is self applied because only you can feel the immediate feedback and referred pain. The referred sensations emitted by a trigger point when therapeutic compression is applied are unmistakable. As pressure is maintained you can feel the trigger point release and the muscle loosen up. To fully relieve the trigger point, learn how to follow the muscle and referred pain pattern with the massage head. The Pro-Relief is the most effective tool available to assist with your self-applied trigger point therapy. It is essential to becoming “trigger point conscious”.

Remember…
Take the Pro-Relief with you…and leave your pain behind.
The vast majority of physical injuries incurred by active people begin with muscular injuries that are not addressed by the conventional medical approach to orthopedic care. Injuries of this type are generally too minor to warrant splinting, casting, or medication and often do not prevent participation in physical activities. They do, however, produce noticeable discomfort and, over time, frequently lead to more severe injuries.
