How does Thera Cane Home Massager Work?

• Pressure applied to the muscles by the Thera Cane Massager Self Massaging Stick helps maximize the flow of oxygenated blood to the muscles.
• This pressure restores muscle function by breaking up muscle fibers and tendons adhesion.
• The increased circulation makes the muscle work more efficiently.
• Measurements of sensitivity pre and post-treatment show a decrease in pain.
• The referred pain pattern is not present after the successful pressure has been applied, and often the patient will demonstrate an immediate change in range of motion.

Whom Does Thera Cane Massage Stick Help?

Although TheraCane Massage Cane may appear to have the greatest application with soft tissue muscle pain, it has also been helpful to patients with arthritis, stroke, spinal cord injuries, muscle surgeries, or chronic, nagging injuries from the past. Anyone who moves in a compensatory pattern has altered the biochemical stresses on joints and muscles. These muscles become vulnerable to MPS regardless of the injury or disease. Eliminating muscle dysfunction in arthritis patients can reduce their pain to manageable levels, even though the underlying disease process has not been changed. TheraCane can be used by anyone, anytime, anywhere they want to reduce pain and discomfort.

What is the leverage that makes TheraCane Self Massager Tool easy to use?

Technique Of Using Leverage

Position your hands and cane with the ball on top of your shoulder. Next, push both your hands straight down while at the same time pushing outward with your right hand 1 to 2 inches. Your left arm is held close to your side and remains motionless. Once sufficient pressure is attained, move your left arm back and forth so the applicator ball and your skin slide across the muscle. This pressure should be contained within an area the size of a quarter.

By resting your forearm on the upper handle, you are able to relax your left arm muscles and achieve the same pressure. The more concentrated the pressure is, the more effective is the response. Proper leverage reduces excessive hand and arm movement and makes the Thera Cane easier to use with optimal results. The technique of using leverage is easy to learn after some practice.

Significance Of Treatment Balls

Keep the ball in contact with your body in order to maintain control of the Thera Cane and prevent it from slipping off the muscle. You will have control when your skin is depressed enough from the pressure to follow the movement of the ball across the muscle.

Basic Positions Of Use:

Using the TheraCane from the three basic positions, i.e., standing, sitting, and lying down, for one particular point, you can access the muscle from the most angles possible. This thorough approach will increase the likelihood of obtaining the proper angle of penetration to relieve the trigger point.

Level Of Pressure Applied:

The level of pressure will depend upon the application. For example, back muscles need more pressure than forearm muscles. A level of pressure midway between painful and pleasurable ("hurts so good") is suggested after the breaking-in period. Apply pressure gradually, increasing it as you work the ball into the muscle. If the tenderness decreases while pressing, press harder or move the ball slightly to relocate the most sensitive part of the trigger point. If a muscle is extra tender, work on the surrounding area before zeroing in on the more sensitive spot.

• While applying adequate pressure, slowly move the ball back and forth across the trigger point. A gentle wiggle helps to burrow into the muscle.
• Press directly on the trigger point, hold for five to ten seconds, and release and repeat a few times. It is advisable to avoid this technique for the front and side of the neck muscles since this area is very easy to overdue (use your fingers for these areas). This method is more suited for areas of thick muscle mass and only after becoming familiar with your own pressure limits.
• A systematic approach will heighten your awareness and give you the best results regardless of the technique used.
