Muscle Angel Massagers™ Help Physical Therapists Reduce Work- Related Muscle Pain

July 7, 2010, Dedham, MA–AliMed® inc., a leading developer, distributor, and manufacturer of medical equipment and supplies, is now representing Muscle Angel Massagers™, the only hand-held massager of its type that enables users to access hard-to-reach muscles easily, and without the need for assistance. Also unique is the product’s hands-free option for people who suffer from bilateral hand and arm pain. Occupational and physical therapists are finding Muscle Angel Massagers extremely effective on patients who suffer from chronic muscle tension and discomfort, including hand and arm pain, back pain, piriformis syndrome/sciatica, plantar fasciitis, tendonitis and carpal tunnel injuries, and other muscle-related ailments. Therapists also realize the benefits of using Muscle Angels™ on their own muscles, sore from work-related repetitive stress injuries. Some of the benefits this innovative product offers are:

 Proven relief from chronic muscle pain and tension headaches

 More versatility than a massage ball or foam roller

 Easy application, even for people with bilateral hand pain, that is lightweight and portable

 Endorsements from physical and occupational therapists, physicians, dentists/hygienists, and elite athletes

“Finally, there is an effective product for minimizing muscle pain and tension,” says K. Belinsky, MS, OTR/L, from Performing Arts Occupational Therapy. “If you, or your patients, suffer from chronic hand, arm, head, neck and/or shoulder pain, Muscle Angels™ can help!”

“This is not just another massage ball,” explains Jonathan Bretz, AliMed’s Senior Vice President. “From the moment you pick it up, you realize the Muscle Angel is different. Healthcare providers appreciate its multiple applications. Not only are they finding it useful during clinical therapy sessions, but when they’re done using the Muscle Angel on patients—they can then use it for their own pain. Plus, the hands-free option offers therapy without the need of a partner’s assistance.”

Muscle Angels Massagers are available through the AliMed catalog, and online at www.AliMed.com.
