Therapy/Treatment Products
CozyHold
Info: (800) 559-2699 or cozyhold.com
Hot and cold packs can be just the thing for sore muscles and aches and pains—but
if the pack leaks or won’t stay in place, it doesn’t do much good.
CozyHold and CozyHold Pro by RAMAR Industries provide a new way to relieve the
discomfort of having to hold a cold/hot gel pack on. CozyHold cold/hot therapy
holds frozen or heated gel packs in insulated pockets and secures the neoprene
holder with a self-fastener. CozyHold’s design allows users to go about
their normal routine without having to worry about leaking.
Both CozyHold products include two sections; each with one pocket; two gel packs;
and a 12-inch extension piece. Each section can be used individually or together,
allowing the device to fit virtually anywhere, including your back (lumbar or
upper back), neck, wrists, knees, elbows, and around your head for TMJ. It goes
from head to toe. It is reusable, washable and available in two sizes, fitting
up to 44” or 60”. Additional gel packs and extension pieces can
be bought separately.
Logic Back Supreme
Info: (800) 308-3069 or mediflow.com
Imagine a backrest that doesn’t push you off the seat. Chiroflow’s
Logic Back Supreme is a backrest that does just that and transforms any chair
into an ergonomic, corrective device. Independently adjustable straps custom
fit to your lumbar spine, and the pillow’s contoured opening and side
supports create neutral lumbar alignment. Over time the pillow reduces pain
in the lower and mid back, shoulders, neck and head. A large strap fits around
the back of your chair to hold the plush pillow in place.
SleepPosture Pillow
Info: info@sleepposture.com or sleepposture.com
Are you a side sleeper, back sleeper or belly sleeper? Sleeping on your back
or belly can put a strain on your neck, jaw and cranial bones and cause lower
back pain. The Sleep Posture Pillow trains your body to sleep in a side position
that’s best for your posture. The pillow supports your neck, upper back
and lower back all at the same time. Side posture sleeping is the most natural
position for our body. It resembles the fetal position, which allows the
muscles and bones to relax. The pillow is also great for long car rides—you
can sleep sitting up while the pillow supports your neck and shoulders.
