Ingenious product to avoid pain medications
As a Pharmacist , I've see first hand how pain medications affect a person and therefore when I had back and sciatic problems , I turned to natural means. I didn't want to mask the problem with drugs but try and correct the underlying problem. I researched different techniques including massage and stretching and came across a discussion on trigger points. I also picked up a book called Trigger point therapy workbook, and it mentioned the Thera cane . Having nothing to lose, except maybe the $29.95 for the Thera cane, I decided to try it. What an ingenious device! I should preface this by advising you to read about trigger points first and the cautions such as keeping devices like the Thera cane away from the back of the knee , femoral artery and other veins and arteries . You can use the Thera Cane to put direct pressure on the trigger point and hold on it OR press and release the trigger point. For me the Thera cane worked fantastically giving me about 6 hours of relief . I've been using it for a few days now and can see the difference. A definite buy! I purchased the Blue Thera cane and the strength of the cane is perfect, not to hard not to soft. REMEMBER, read up on trigger points first and DON'T overdo it
