SAN FRANCISCO, April 12, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- The BodyBolster(tm), a small self-inflatable portable exercise tool, is designed to help people improve flexibility, get physically stronger and help eradicate pain. The BodyBolster can be used for physical therapy, exercise, and even workplace health. Designed by an Australian team of Physical Therapists, the BodyBolster has caught on professionally in Australia, New Zealand and in the U.K. Its users range from the Australian Defense Force to Physiocise, an exercise-based rehabilitation program run in Sydney.
Because it's small and portable and stores easily in small places, it's an excellent tool to take with you while traveling, to the office, or to use at home. It is far easier to handle than unwieldy and complex gym equipment for both fitness centers and home gyms. With one tool, users can take control of their back and neck pain with a gentle and safe way to exercise, as well as strengthen, and stretch the whole body. The BodyBolster is also highly effective as a seated support ensuring a reduction of musculoskeletal strain in the workplace and thus can significantly reduce insurance claims for workplace health. It's also cheaper and more effective than a fancy ergonomic chair.
Clients from health therapists to the body conscious consumer extol the powers of the BodyBolster. Personal Trainer Mark McKean who's been using the tool for the past decade said, "You will be amazed at how this product can provide not only assistance with exercise and movement conditioning, but also for use in many day to day practices between work and home." Patricia Jorgensen, Physical Therapist, Certified Industrial Ergonomist said, "The BodyBolster's potential for clinical application is distinctive because its versatility allows it to be used in exercise progression, from early to advanced stages in the rehabilitation process. A creative therapist will find many uses for this unique and comfortable tool.
Dr Michael Badke, Doctor of Chiropractic and Active Release Specialist said, "Its self inflating design makes it a very versatile tool for people of all shapes and sizes. Its compact size means it can be easily used at work, in the car, at home or wherever it is needed most. It is a great tool for people wishing to prevent back aches and pains through stretching and exercise."
CEO of Bolster Trading, Flavia Abbate said, "Our product development stems from the knowledge that our bodies are meant to be moving, yet today our lifestyle is more sedentary than ever before; we sit at a desk, sit in the car, sit in front of the TV and sit at a computer screen to pay bills, shop, play games and socialize. We designed the BodyBolster in the interest of good health to get bodies moving again . . . even as you sit!"
