Physical Rehabilitation of the Upper-Body
HeartFlex is highly effective in treating injuries when
passive strength training is required and where specific muscle groups and
joints must be targeted.
|
|
HeartFlex targets wrists, forearms, elbows, upper arms, shoulders,
chest, and back. |
|
|
HeartFlex's special design is ideal for rehabilitating injured
structures because it creates only "consistent - passive"
resistance that speeds healing and lessens the likelihood of re-injury
during therapy. Other products using springs or rubber bands produce
"progressive - cocked" resistance which can overload and
damage sensitive healing structures. |
|
|
HeartFlex re-builds functional muscle tissue while increasing
flexibility (ROM). |
|
|
HeartFlex allows "Active Range of Motion Therapy" to wrists,
elbows, and shoulders in all three dimensions. Your patient is in
control of joint manipulation and uses only his or her own muscles to
perform movements during physical rehabilitation. |
|
|
HeartFlex can be used while sitting, reclining, or lying down. |
|
|
HeartFlex is lightweight (only 9 ounces) so destructive eccentric
loading is minimized. |
Injury Prevention / Reducing Workplace RSIs
Utilize HeartFlex to warm up before, stay loose during,
and cool down after performing rigorous physical activity.
Practitioners believe that a combination of factors cause repetitive strain
injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome. Though no singular cause has been
isolated, it is agreed that regular breaks and thorough stretching of the hands,
wrists, forearms, shoulders, chest, and back assists in preventing the onset of
RSI.
Muscles have been compared to taffy. When cold taffy is bent it breaks. When
warm taffy is bent it stretches. Encourage your patients to warm up with
HeartFlex before they begin physical activity. In addition, suggest that
throughout their day they incorporate regular breaks with Heartflex to help them
remain limber. HeartFlex is a compact and lightweight tool that stores
conveniently for frequent use.
Lower
Blood Sugar:
"This
device has been used in several classes at The Diabetes Center. It is
easy to demonstrate, and patients find it simple to use. It is
lightweight and easy to maneuver. It would also travel well. It may be
used in a standing or sitting position and can be effective for patients
at varying degrees of fitness. We have observed drops in blood sugar
from 10 to 60 points after only 5 minutes of activity."

Wellness
Prescribe HeartFlex to promote the holistic benefits of regular stretching and
physical activity.
 | Motivate sedentary patients to exercise with HeartFlex. It makes
exercising fun and easy. Patients may use HeartFlex while sitting or lying
down, watching their favorite TV program. Design a beginner's workout which
expands into a regular exercise routine that they will enjoy in the privacy
of their home or office.
| HeartFlex uses easy "consistent resistance" in combination with
"multiple repetitions" to tone and strengthen the upper body as it
stimulates the circulatory, pulmonary, and lymphatic systems. Positive
exercise experiences with HeartFlex improve conditioning as they encourage
additional physical activity.
| HeartFlex is particularly useful in initiating a primary conditioning
program. Later, by increasing repetitions, future workouts can be
incrementally increased to be as robust as desired. It is a wonderful device
for enhancing cardiovascular conditioning and upper-body musculature.
HeartFlex instills self-esteem as it promotes the habit of becoming more
physically active.
| HeartFlex may be combined with walking to transform this fun and easy
activity into a full body workout. |
