Solving the "too hard basket" issues for chronic patients and opening new opportunities
Chronic musculoskeletal conditions
Chronic soft tissue conditions require repeated applications of therapy over a long period of time. This is often impossible to provide or afford within standard clinic appointments. Historically, clinicians have had to place these cases in the "too hard basket", as the only alternative—regular visits to a massage therapist—is frequently too expensive and inconvenient for patients to maintain.
By delivering professional standard therapy, while being economical and easy to use, DrGraeme massagers allow you to prescribe genuine, supplementary therapeutic soft tissue therapy for home use, under your professional guidance.
New opportunities
The ability to prescribe practically unlimited quality home massage has opened up further opportunities. Examples include:
Health and wellbeing
Clinical trials have shown massage to have health benefits such as reducing blood pressure, improving sleep, and enhancing psychological states. However, these trials required very frequent, regular massages. This becomes convenient and affordable with prescribed self-massage.
Cellulite reduction
Trials have shown that massage can reduce cellulite by increasing circulation. However, the frequency and number of applications required make professional treatment impractical unless effective home treatment is used.
Sports and exercise
Massage therapy has a host of uses in the sports and exercise field, such as warming up, improving performance, preventing injuries, aiding post-exercise recovery, and rehabilitating existing injuries. Again, these benefits are limited by the cost and lack of availability of professional therapists. Massage guns and foam rollers are widely marketed as solutions, but their effectiveness is mediocre at best, and certainly nothing like the scientifically proven benefits of genuine vibration massage.
