Massage Warehouse and New Life Systems to Release the New Chocolate Therabath Paraffin Bath in July

A favorite of health, wellness and beauty professionals for more than 40 years, Therabath Professional Paraffin Products (WR Medical Electronics Co.) is launching a new premium line of Professional Paraffin Baths this Fall beginning with the New Chocolate Therabath exclusive to Massage Warehouse and New Life Systems in July.

“The chocolate-brown outer-case and black aluminum-anodized inner-tank adds class and sophistication to the classic white paraffin baths that have been in the market for decades,” says Elisabeth Thorn, Sales and Marketing Manager for WR Medical Electronics Co. Therabath Division. “Think rich cherry woods, dark granite surfaces and plush, decadent furniture – the new Chocolate Therabath feels like an extension of the stylized office you have already created to comfort your clients.”

The Chocolate Therabath will be shipping with a Limited Lifetime Warranty – an extension over the current 5 year warranty shipping with the standard Therabath units – as well as 9lbs of Therabath Professional Refill paraffin in your choice of 4 scents (unscented, Wintergreen, Lavender Harmony or PeachE).

The TherabathPRO Paraffin Hot Wax Bath provides one of the most effective methods of applying heat therapy and delivering fast, drug-free relief of painful arthritis, bursitis and chronic joint inflammation. Penetrating paraffin wax heat therapy relaxes sore, tired muscles, relieves stiffness and muscle spasms. Twice as beneficial, hot paraffin wax therapy stimulates circulation as well as moisturizing and nourishing dry skin. Therabath delivers temporary relief from minor pain and softens hands and feet.

Made in the USA since 1962, Therabath Professional Paraffin Bath units are manufactured to FDA Class II Medical device standards ensuring safety and reliability. A detachable cord and integrated handles make the Therabath the most portable paraffin bath in the market. The most current model, Therabath TB6, features an energy-efficient design including an Always Safe Temperature Range melt system for safe, reliable 24-hour operation. Units comfortably accommodate hands, wrist, feet (up to men’s size 14), ankles, elbows, knees and more!

Dr. Cohen’s Acuball

Thursday, May 26th, 2011

Dr. Cohen’s Acuball - As Seen on the Doctor Oz Show

How it works:

The Acuball’s patented design features apply 100% natural acupressure and heat:

1) relaxes tight muscles,

2) enhances joint movement,

3) reduces nervous system irritation,

4) stimulates blood flow to flush out built up muscle wastes,

5) releases natural painkillers and sedatives,

6) improves nervous system energetic flow.

The Acuball’s specially designed acupoints and heat stimulate blood flow. This increases circulation, helping to ‘flush out’ built up toxins that accumulate in tight muscles causing pain. As these toxins release over time the muscle itself relaxes. Direct pressure from the acupoints also massages muscle and mobilizes joints, further enhancing pain free body movement.

The acupoints also stimulate your Central Nervous System, like acupuncture does, to release natural painkilling, relaxing and mood enhancing chemicals like enkephalins and endorphins. Because of this, people who use the Acuball in bed, before retiring for the evening, often report enhanced feelings of relaxation and deeper sleep.

When you use the Acuball on a tender area, you’ll notice that after three or four 20 minute sessions it’s a lot less tender than when you first started. Now you know why: wastes have been flushed out, muscle has been relaxed, joints have been mobilized, and your nervous system is much less irritated…and so are you!

The Acuball’s Unique Design Features

The Acuball’s effectiveness is the result of a number of unique design features:

1) Heatability

If you like the feeling of heat on tight sore muscles, you’ll love the Acuball’s unique patented heating ability. You certainly don’t have to heat it, many people use it at room temperature, but you should try it.  People have remarked countless times that they love the sensation of deep penetrating warmth on sore, achy muscles. Many people love taking a heated Acuball to bed with them.

Why does it feel so good when it’s heated?

Heat expands muscles, causing blood vessels to open up, bringing more blood to tight areas.

This increased blood flow flushes out accumulated wastes, calming irritated nerves and loosening muscles back to their normal relaxed state.

2) Spine Align Belt for Releasing Tight Vertebrae

Many spinal problems come from tight muscles which cause vertebra to lock together, ‘jamming up’ instead of flowing freely. The Spine Align Belt, a precision molded groove running around the middle of the Acuball, allows you to lie directly on the Acuball – opening and loosening your spine one vertebra at a time.

Like pulling an accordion open, this helps to ‘free up’ your spine all the way from your low back up to the top of your neck. The acupoints at the side of the Spine Align Belt also give an acupressure treatment to the important postural muscles running along both sides of your spine (the erector spine muscles), allowing them to open and relax.

Better spinal motion, improved Central Nervous System flow (since your Central Nervous System runs through your spine) and improved posture result.

The area where your neck meets the back of your head is a key area for wellness enhancement. Why? Because it is here that your brain exits your skull and becomes your spinal cord, transmitting vital information to every part of your body. Any tightness here affects your brain’s ability to optimally communicate with your body, so you want this area to be as loose and flexible as possible. Because we spend so much time with our heads bent forward – working, computing and care-giving this area is almost always tight. The Spine Align Belt allows you to open this crucial area, which as you’ll experience for yourself, feels truly wonderful.

 3) Dual Stimulation Zones for Large & Small Muscles

The zone on the bottom of the Acuball has multiple smaller acupoints for doing lighter work like releasing tight muscles in your scalp, face and temples or massaging your child. The larger acupoints on the rest of the Acuball are for deeper work like loosening larger muscles in your neck, legs, hips and low back.

Dr. Cohen’s Acuball Mini

The Acuball-mini’s smaller nibs and harder feel make it perfect for releasing tight muscles in the smaller muscle groups of the body such as the feet, hands, shoulders, upper back, arms and forearms. It is particularly effective in the feet for relieving painful conditions like plantar fascitis.  Athletes (golfers, runners, tennis players) use the Acuball-mini before their activity to loosen problem areas in their feet, shoulders or arms to enhance muscle performance and reduce risk of injury. It’s also an excellent massage tool – try massaging your friend’s shoulders and neck with it!

Thumbby Soft Massage Cone

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011

Thumbby™ Soft Massage Cone FAQ

Q. What is the Thumbby™ massager made of?

A. The Thumbby™ massager is made of solid silicone, the same material used for many household and personal items. Silicone is non-reactive, meaning it can be used with most massage lotions and oils.

Q. How hard is the Thumbby™ massager?

A. The Thumbby™ massager is approximately the same hardness as a human thumb. In use it is often indistinguishable from a thumb by the person receiving the massage.

Q. How big is the Thumbby™ massager?

A. The Thumbby™ massager is about 3 inches across by 2 inches high, and weighs about 5.5 ounces – small enough to fit in a purse, briefcase, backpack, or carryon.

Q. Is it better to use the Thumbby™ massager dry or with oil?

A. The Thumbby™ massager can be used with or without oil. Each is better for certain types of massage.

  • When the Thumbby™ massager is used dry, it grips the skin. This is good for deep pressure/trigger point work, cross-fiber massage, and vibration (shaking the muscle).

 

  • When the Thumbby™ massager is used with oil, it glides over the skin. This is good for effleurage (broad strokes using the slope or shoulder of the massager), petrissage (circling movements using the point of the massager), and muscle stripping (slow heavy pressure along the length of a muscle). When using oil with a Thumbby™ massager, use your other hand to guide it.

 

Q. I’m a small person with weak arms and hands; my partner is very strong and needs deep pressure. How do I use theThumbby™ massager to give deep massage?

A. Thumbby™ massager is designed to let you use body weight instead of strength to achieve deep pressure. Use this method to support your wrist while using body weight:

  1. Hold the massager in your non-dominant hand with the point on the knot you want to loosen.
  2. Make a loose fist with your dominant hand and place your knuckles on the back of the massager, as shown.


 

  1. Hold the thumb of the non-dominant hand for stability.
  2. Keep your arm and wrist straight and lean into it. Your upper body weight will be transferred to the point of the ThumbbyTM massager.

Q. I have back and shoulder pain, and no one to massage me. Can the Thumbby™ massage tool help me?

A. Yes. The Thumbby™ massager sticks to smooth surfaces, so you can stick it onto your refrigerator (for example) and be able to press the sore places into it. You can also place the massager inside the back of a chair and lean on it. And if you want deeper pressure, you can lie on a Thumbby™ massager on a bed, a futon, or the floor.

CranioCradle FAQ

Friday, December 3rd, 2010

What is the CranioCradle?

The CranioCradle is a versatile, easy to use massage tool that provides quick, effective relief of stress, tension and pain in the body. This is a great home therapy tool as well as an extra set of hands during a massage therapy session.

What is the CranioCradle made of?

The CranioCradle is made of integral skin polyurethane foam. This soft, compressible foam is similar to memory foam with a protective coating and is 100% recyclable.

How do I clean the CranioCradle?

You can clean the CranioCradle with warm water and liquid soap or with a household sanitizer.

Can I heat or freeze the CranioCradle?

You should not heat or freeze the CranioCradle as it may damage the foam.

Should I use the CranioCradle on a hard or soft surface?

The CranioCradle is best used on a soft surface such as a bed, sofa or massage table for most applications. For trigger point release, it is best to use the CranioCradle on a hard surface such as the floor to provide more pressure.

How long do I use the CranioCradle?

The amount of time you should use the CranioCradle varies, but generally 5-10 therapeutic minutes is all you’ll need.

Will the CranioCradle be damaged when it compresses during use?

The compression of the CranioCradle during use will not cause damage to the tool. The design of the CranioCradle allows it to compress during use and then return to its original shape within seconds after use.

How do I use the CranioCradle?

The CranioCradle can be used under the back of the head, neck and body at specific locations. The CranioCradle can also be used for trigger point release. Instructional videos are available on the CranioCradle Product Page.
