| Thumbsavers is developed
by Greg Polins, a massage therapist. After eight years, Greg
began to experience crippling pain in my thumbs and wrist
from the extensive deep tissue massage. He sought for a
solution or his career would have been over.
Polins said, "My thumbs
were so fatigued from a full day of massage that I was
forced to ice them every night. At one point the pain was so
intense that it was difficult to hold a pen and write. I
needed a solution or my career would have been over."
After considerable
experimentation and countless prototypes, Polins developed
an affordable massage tool that assists therapists by
providing support and reducing the stress on their hands and
wrists from deep tissue massage, all while protecting their
most valuable commodity -- their hands.
The tool is "worn" over the
thumb, providing a greater sense of dexterity for the user.
Since it's smooth in texture, semi-flexible and latex-free,
it feels natural for both the therapist and the receiving
client. The design helps the therapist use "proper hand
mechanics" when performing massage, thus reducing the chance
for fatigue, pain and injury.
"I felt such an immediate
result from using it that I decided to bring it into
production and share it with fellow therapists; all I needed
was money to get started, so I sold everything I owned
except essential clothes and my massage table."
Before Thumbsavers massage
tools, the typical career length of a professional massage
therapist was estimated to be three to five years. Thumb,
hand and wrist fatigue and injury were dramatically claiming
rewarding massage careers.

Tools are not intended to replace the
massage therapist, but rather to augment professional
treatment; they should act as an extension of the therapist.
"They are meant to help the human hand do what it does for
longer and deeper,"
While the therapist benefits physically from using a tool
, the client also reaps rewards. "A tool allows the massage
therapist to give the depth the client desires to release
tight muscles. This helps to restore the neuromuscular
pathway, leading to satisfied clients and repeat business. |
