Dear MendMeShop,

Over the past eight months I have been suffering from shoulder and arm pain. I just kept thinking that the pain would go away on its own. When I reached the point where I was unable to raise my arm over my head without assistance and forget about putting my arm behind my back. I decided that a trip to the doctor was due. She ruled out that I had an injury to the Rotator Cuff itself and determined that I had a soft tissue injury. Due to repetitive movement and heavy lifting. She suggested that I try physical therapy. With my work schedule and family obligations I knew that was going to be very difficult and I wanted something that I could fit into my schedule. So I began doing research on the internet for alternative treatments and exercises. That’s when I found your product on the internet. I was somewhat skeptical as to rather it would perform as stated, but decided to give it a try. It was stated that it could take up to three weeks to feel results. BUT I am here to say that for myself it has done better. I have been using the “Ultrasound” and the “Freeze Warp” for a week and have already felt some improvement. I can now raise my arm to just about shoulder height unassisted, and can now almost get my finger tips back behind my back. I use the “Ultrasound” first thing each morning and try to throw in a second treatment in the early evening if possible. I make a point of using “Freeze Wrap” as soon as I get home from work to relieve the stress to my muscles from work and to keep the inflammation down. Now that I have gotten some of the inflammation gone I intend to incorporate the “Inferno Wrap” treatment to my regiment to just before going bed to aid the healing process and aid in a better night’s sleep.

Groin Pulls

Overstretching in sports can cause groin injuries

Up to 30% of sports medicine doctor visits are attributed to muscle strains, and groin injuries comprise 2 - 5 % of all sports injuries. A groin pull, also known as a groin strain, involves an injury to your groin, pelvic and hip muscles that help keep your legs together and flex your thigh. They are a result of excessive tension, effort or use, especially during activities that require running, kicking, twisting, or side-stepping. The damage can range from overstretching to partial tearing to complete rupturing of the small fibers that make up your groin and pelvis muscles. An adductor strain is one of the most common causes of groin pain in athletes. Most injuries occur at the junction between your muscle and your tendon; however they can occur in your muscle belly as well. A study performed by Renstrom and Peterson who analyzed groin strains in athletes, found that the adductor longus was responsible for 62% of groin injuries, and tends to be the most prone to injury (at the point where the muscle and tendon attach to the femur), followed by an injured gracilis muscle, rectus femoris, rectus abdominis, sartorius, and the iliopsoas.

Internationally, approximately 10% of all injuries endured by professional hockey players are groin strains (according to the Nicholas Institute of Sports Medicine and Athletic Trauma).

Dear MendMeShop,

At the age of 48 I have figured out the my body (muscles, etc) is not keeping up with the activities I want to pursue. I am very active and referee high school and college basketball. At 44 I ruptured my right achilles tendon while refereeing a ball game. After surgery I was determined to keep this from happening again. Four years later I started experiencing burning and pain in the other achilles tendon. I went to the orthopedist and he started me on physical therapy. PT consisted of ultrasound treatments. After spending over $400, $80 a week ( 2 PT treatments a week) I was released from therapy. I did some research on the internet, and I found a personal ultrasound unit from Mendmeshop.com. I purchased the unit along with a heat wrap, and started using the unit daily. My pain has gone away and I am running on the treadmill again. Thanks. Jeff Darr Monroe, NC
