Everyone knows the old saying – No Pain. No gain.
And we all bought it too, hook, line & sinker! We were taught to “suck it up”, cause that’s what tough guys do! It’s kind of like that cough syrup – the one that says that if it doesn’t taste bad, it’s not working!
Adults typically use pain medication rather than preventative self-care
As adults – we often neglect our health on a day to day basis. When we do feel pain, we rely on quick-fix, band-aid solutions, such as painkillers to relieve uncomfortable symptoms. And the day finally comes when you can’t “just” suck up the pain anymore. And it could happen at any time. pain shows no age preference.
Do you just live with your aches and pains and go about your daily activities?
Do you just live with pain in your back? Is it ok if you can’t kneel anymore and barely bend over to tie your shoes? How many of your friends have had knee replacements? Hip replacements? And the worst of it is, it seems to be an acceptable solution. So many have spent a lifetime putting pressure on their ligaments and joints (ignoring the warning signs), to the point where they cannot function anymore.
Are you heading for a hip or knee replacement?
These procedures essentially replace the damaged sections of the joint with parts made from metal, ceramic and very hard plastic in order to regain function. Sadly, these replacement surgeries are certainly not without risks (blood clots; infections; nerve damage; a change in leg length resulting in one being longer than the other).
Where do you start looking for relief from your aches and pains?
Eventually, most people will seek out some form of therapy. A massage therapist, a chiropractor, a physiotherapist, or maybe an expensive set of orthotics for your fallen arches, plantar fasciitis and achy feet?
You need to take care of YOU. And the sooner you start; the healthier you will be. Listen to your body when it’s in pain. Make conscious efforts to improve your sitting and standing posture – and take breaks to avoid repetitive stress injury.
Do manual therapists offer Sp1ke cushions to their clients?
Yes they sure do! At Vigurus Technologies, we work hand-in-hand with many therapists through our Affiliate program. We provide comfortable and tested healthy solutions to add to their patient toolboxes for improved sitting, kneeling, and standing that will reduce pressure and discomfort, while improving posture and circulation.
We offer great forms of “preventative maintenance” for your self-care that put you in a position of less stress when you sit or stand and move to perform tasks; especially important to reducing the risk of “repetitive stress” injury. Our products enhance your brain-body communication by stimulating your “somatosensory” system (that part of the sensory system concerned with the conscious perception of touch, pressure, pain, temperature, position, movement, and vibration, which arise from the muscles, joints, skin, and fascia).
SP1KE ™ cushions and mats are very affordable and provide simple and comforting ways of improving blood/oxygen flow, balance, energy and alertness while going about your daily life anywhere, anytime. SP1KE ™ products by Vigurus are endorsed by the International Osteopathic Association and the National Academy of Osteopathy.
