Bauerfeind ViscoPed Shock Reducing Insoles - Latex Free

nobody@vox.com(Sara Gold) — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 22:56:03 -0700

Viscoped_medex01

The ViscoPed insole from Bauerfeind is the original full-length insole designed to aid in targeted relief of metatarsal pain (pain under the ball of the foot), tired, aching feet, sore knee joints and back pain. ViscoPed does not contain latex.

Viscoped Advantages

Full-length viscoelastic insoles incorporating areas of softer density in the heel and metatarsal region
Raised metatarsal pad aids in desired realignment of metatarsal heads
Slight contouring of the arch for gentle support
Provides shock load reduction throughout the entire length of the insole
Ventilation holes allow for air circulation to combat heat build-up
Five sizes may be easily trimmed for optimum fit
Always available in pairs to prevent leg length discrepancies, Viscoped may be easily converted from one shoe to the next
Viscoelastic medical-grade silicone provides peak shock load reduction to ankle, knee and hip joints

Viscoped can be used to treat:

Metatarsalgia- A general term for irritation of the metatarsals; aching pain in the metatarsal bones of the foot result from anatomical changes in their alignment.
Fat pad atrophy- Also known by “thinning of the fat pad”, this condition is characterized by a decrease in the size, or wasting away of the layer of body fat that is normally present to protect the metatarsal phalangeal heads; can also occur in the heel.
Foot pain (plantar pain) * Pressure redistribution
Diabetic foot- Frequently results from neuropathy, or nerve damage, in the feet which can lead to a dulling or loss of sensation, making one unable to feel pain, heat or cold; Viscoped should be worn only in non-ulcerative conditions.
Morton’s neuroma- An irritation that is caused by compression of a branch of the plantar nerve between the heads of the metatarsal bones and sometimes occurs when the second toe is larger than the big toe.
Back and joint pain
Hyperkerastosis- Thickening of the outer layer of skin. It may occur as an inherited disorder, affecting the soles of the feet.
Splayfoot- A condition in which the feet are abnormally flattened out.
Forefoot and toe deformitiesBauerfeind

Epi-Lock Elbow Support

nobody@vox.com(Sara Gold) — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 05:41:32 -0700

This uniquely-designed tennis elbow strap is more effective and comfortable than conventional supports. Epi-Lock's unique distal strap supports extensors that are deeply buried and harder to support near the elbow where tennis elbow straps are usually worn. Its two straps together give exceptional support and pain relief.

The non-elastic straps are worn comfortably snug. When muscular force is applied, the extensors automatically enlarge causing the straps to tighten. Because the straps are relatively narrow, they focus the binding force for maximum effectiveness. As the extensors relax, the straps return to their comfortably snug condition.

* Lightwieght
* Won't slip
* Washable

Epi-Lock Elbow Supports are manufactured from DermaDry, an exclusive material that outperforms all conventional bracing materials. DermaDry combines the breathability and water-vapor transmission capabilities of open- cell sponge rubber with the durability, stretch and compression of neoprene.

This process allows perspiration to evaporate and is further enhanced by the KwikWick treatment of the soft polyester that coats the inside and outside of the braces.

DermaDry keeps just the right amount of soothing warmth in the soft muscle tissues, keeping them flexible while providing compression. A flame lamination process is used to secure the KwikWick treated polyester to the rubber, eliminating the need for industrial adhesives, a known cause of contact dermatitis.

Far Infrared Clothing and Bands - Natural Healing You Wear

nobody@vox.com(Sara Gold) — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 23:24:11 -0700

Far Infrared Clothing and Bands - Natural Healing You Wear

About Far Infrared
After many years of concentrated research and development, Joymain Science and Technologies Group based in Nanjing, China, has developed health caring far infrared clothing. These products are meticulously made by using a special spinning-in technique, which consists of melting elements of superfine far infrared powder, and macromolecular material. These broken down elements are then mixed at high temperatures, and blended in with fine quality cotton. This is then made into yarn, which has health caring functions. They can improve micro circulation, remove blood stasis, ease pain, suppress bacteria, diminish inflammation, raise your temperature and keep you warm.

Far Infrared Clothing refers to clothes and bands made from Far Infrared cloth. Far Infrared Fiber, has been shown to emit light with wavelengths between 8 and 15 microns at a 94% effective rate. This light can be easily absorbed into the body and has many health benefits.

Far infrared therapy follows the holistic healing principle. It does not only treat a symptom, it enhances the whole body function. The treatment of the symptom occurs naturally.

BENEFITS
Far Infrared clothing and bands have been proven, by studies and consumers, to produce the major benefits. Some of the benefits found are improved micro circulation, increased delivery of oxygen and nutrients in the blood cell to the body's soft tissue areas, regeneration and fast healing.

Infrared clothing and band products provide non-invasive, non-addictive pain relief with no side effects. In addition, tests have shown that infrared clothes and bands still produce the above benefits even after being washed as many as 300 times.

AILMENTS
Far infrared cloth absorbs and reflects far infrared rays penetrating the hypodermis, speeding up the blood flow, strengthening the elasticity of blood vessel walls, increasing the supply of oxygen within the body, improving micro-circulation, easing pain and reducing inflammation. Far Infrared clothing and bands have achieved success with many conditions including fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel,improved muscle tone, lower back pain, shoulder pain, leg cramps, muscle tension, and compression fractures.

Far infrared clothing and band products may be used at any time of the
day or night for however long the user wants.

Far Infrared products containing Magnets should not be worn by:

Pregnant women, because the possible effects of magnets on the fetus are not known.

People who use a medical device such as a pacemaker, defibrillator, or insulin pump, because magnets may affect the magnetically controlled features of such devices.

People who use a patch to deliver medication through the skin, in case magnets cause dilation of blood vessels, which could affect the delivery of the medicine. This caution also applies to people with an acute sprains, inflammation, infection or wounds.

MedEx01.com carries a variety of infrared products.

nobody@vox.com(Sara Gold) — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 22:22:23 -0700

Top 5 Foam Roller Exercises

The Foam Roller is a simple and effective tool used for balance and alignment. A foam roller helps in developing core stabilization, stamina, and body awareness. Foam rollers are excellent exercise tools. They can be very effective props in pilates and other exercise classes and they are fun to experiment with.

Foam rollers do provide a compression massage which does improve circulation. By placing the large muscles you wish to compress on the roller and allowing your your body’s weight to press them into the hard foam, you improve circulation and loosen tight body knots in your muscles and tendons ensuring proper muscle quality.

Foam Rollers come in different sizes

Foam Roller _medex01

Foam Rolling:

You place the roller between your muscle and the floor and use your body weight to gently and slowly roll for the entire length of your muscle.

When you reach a painful spot, stop rolling and use your body weight to press down. Hold that spot until the pain goes away. If the pain does not seem to go away, don’t worry, just continue rolling and hit all of your “spots”.

Start off slow eventually it will be come a part of your exercise routine and you find relief and start feeling better all over!

Air Stirrup Ankle Brace

nobody@vox.com(Sara Gold) — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 04:39:42 -0700

Since 1978, the Aircast Air-Stirrup Ankle Brace has been the "standard of care" for the functional management of ankle injuries and has been cited in over 100 medical journals for its superior performance in helping to heal ankle injuries.

Each Aircast Ankle Brace features anatomically designed shells lined with the patented Duplex aircell system. This exclusive system incorporates two pre-inflated overlapping aircells, distal and proximal, that provide support and produce graduated compression during ambulation. The compression promotes efficient edema reduction in addition to helping accelerate rehabilitation.

All Air-Stirrup Ankle Braces (except for the pediatric model) come with a patient guide providing information on brace application and optional rehabilitation exercises.
