(For international customers outside the USA or Canada, we will invoice you for the shipping). Ideal for Auto, Home and Office Healthcare professionals recognize the ThumperŪ Flexor Pro as the pinnacle of back supports. In providing their patients with the ultimate in care, these professionals incorporate the Flexor Pro as a foundational element in their back treatment protocols. The Thumper Flexor Pro is patented because it is the only back support that offers height adjustability (vertical variance) in treating the curve (lordosis) of the lumbar spine. The lumbar spine curvature of every individual is unique. The design of the Thumper Flexor Pro incorporates an air chamber that permits matching with the patient's lordosis. This is easily accomplished by adjusting air pressure in the chamber with a simple bulb in much the same way that air pressure is adjusted when utilizing a blood pressure cuff. Equally important is the positioning of the air chamber so that it correctly aligns with the apex of the patient's lordosis. This is the patented feature of the Thumper Flexor Pro: an air chamber with vertical placement that is easily adjusted on the support stand. Thumper Flexor Pro is a professional grade back support. It has been tested rigorously in the Occupational Biomechanics and Safety Laboratories of the University of Waterloo, Canada, under the supervision of Stuart M. McGill, PhD, Professor of Spine Biomechanics. Dr. McGill is on record in his observation that the Thumper Flexor Pro back support is beneficial in enhancing proper posture. Dynamic Personal Seating for Ultimate Back Health Spinal stresses often develop during sustained periods of sitting with poor posture. Over time, these stresses become problematic if they are not reduced. For example, when people sit in a slouched position, their muscle activity is minimal and the passive tissues (ligaments and the annuli of individually-affected spinal discs) become stressed. Prolonged loading ultimately results in back-muscle spasms and diminished reflex response. Full and sustained spinal flexion during long episodes of slouched sitting produces measurable disc annulus stresses and - in laboratory settings - has been observed to even cause herniated discs! There is a specific link between prolonged sitting and the incidence of hernias. On the other hand, sitting with an upright torso posture requires greater activation of the psoas and back extensor muscles, which impose higher compressive forces on the spine. Several strategies have proven to be extremely helpful in reducing these stresses. The objective is to make sitting a dynamic activity that includes frequent changes in posture. Changing lumbar postures causes a beneficial migration of the loads from one group of tissues to another. Custom-fitting the Lumbar Spine Thumper active back supports incorporate an air chamber that is easily positioned with a vertical adjustment within the frame. This optimizes the unique fit for each person. The inflatable air chamber helps people achieve relieving postures and changes in posture throughout the day, thus enhancing back health for those who must sit for extended periods. Each lumbar spine has a unique curve (lordosis) and its health is affected by two crucial elements while sitting: The amount that lordosis has been artificially reduced (natural spine curvature straightened due to bending/slouching forward) and The height of the lumbar spine lordosis. Our products can precisely locate - and properly support - the lumbar lordosis: up, down, in, and out, resulting in true, universal, custom adjustment. After correct positioning is achieved, it is important to change the amount of pressure on the lumbar spine - a process easily implemented with the Thumper Flexor Pro. Changing the pressure in the air chamber adjusts the firmness of our products. In turn, this changes circulation patterns and tissue loads within the spine - a process we refer to as Active Seating. Construction Thumper Flexor Pro uses the best materials available and is skillfully assembled by hand. Up to 30 individual components are used in Thumper back supports. All elements are selected for durability. Foam-based materials (all flame-retardant) are engineered to last a minimum of 15 years. Our exclusively engineered fabric outlasts all other covers presently available on the market. Our fabric is fade resistant, odor resistant, immune to fungus and bacteria, and wicks away perspiration. Our active back supports employ the highest quality air valves available. We provide a lifetime guarantee on all air valve components. Scientific Research (upon request) "Research shows that adjusting spinal curvature is a critical issue in terms of minimizing disc stresses resulting from prolonged sitting (both duration and flexion magnitude) and in specific disorders such as disc bulging/herniation. Independent laboratory data confirms the claim that Thumper Flexor Pro can beneficially change spinal curvature." Stuart M. McGill, PhD Professor of Spine Biomechanics Occupational Biomechanics and Safety Laboratories Department of Kinesiology Faculty of Applied Health Sciences University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada Why Every Person Needs Massage... Massage is always helpful if it is done in a way that is appropriate for that particular individual. The reason we say that is because massage enhances two of the main functions of the body, which are the delivery of nutrients to the trillions of cells in the body, and the elimination of waste products from the trillions of cells in the body. The blood and lymph fluid systems facilitate this crucial delivery and elimination activity, upon which all of life depends. Massage aids this process by dilating blood vessels and relaxing muscles, which improves the flow of life-giving blood, and the flow of cleansing lymph fluids throughout the body. As a result, many good things start to happen. "Fatigue" products like lactic acid and other harmful deposits are eliminated from the muscles and joints. Recovery time is dramatically reduced. Inflammation and swelling can be lessened. The body is more limber and supple. Muscle tone is improved because of better nutrient delivery. The nervous system is relaxed. For people or animals that are forced to remain inactive because of injury, illness or age, massage can be a mild form of exercise for their muscles and joints. This all happens because of better nutrient delivery and better waste elimination from all the cells of the body. How To Get The Best Massage Use all four Thumper Massager models as a team to complement each other. Use Thumper Massagers for one minute or less in each area you are massaging (repeat if desired). Can be used longer on the feet. Do not use on bones. If you are sensitive,take weight off,and/or put a cushion between you and the massager. Do not use the massagers in an area that causes discomfort. You should always be relaxed and comfortable. Congratulations on putting your health first! Questions and Answers: Question: Does ThumperŪ pinch like some other vibrators? Answer: No, Thumper does not pinch when used correctly. Do not press down, stroke, or dig with additional weight. Question: Can Thumper be used with Massage Oils or Lotions? Answer: Do not use oils or lotions with Thumper. The oil or lotion may chemically react with the plastic and cause deterioration. Question: Is there any maintenance required for Thumper? Answer: No. Thumper is maintenance free, constructed with permanently lubricated, sealed ball bearings. No additional lubrication is necessary. Question: Why does the Thumper get warm? Answer: Although Thumper is designed for continuous use, with extended use it is normal for the plastic shell or housing to get warm. If the temperature does exceed normal limits, Temperature Overload Protection may activate, shutting the machine down. You will need to let it cool before continuing use. Question: How do I clean Thumper? Answer: If the external surfaces become soiled, wipe clean with a cloth dampened with a mild soap. Question: How does Thumper compare to other massagers on the market? Answer: Thumper is the only massager that goes after muscle tension with percussive action. Ordinary massagers exert their force in a horizontal direction and do nothing more than "rub" your skin. Thumper directs the action of its anatomically positioned massage spheres vertically-downwards into your muscles. You feel Thumper throughout your body, not just on the skin surface. Question: Does Thumper have attachments? Answer: No attachments are needed with Thumper. Its massage spheres are positioned to let you treat all areas effectively. Question: Does Thumper Itch? Answer: Because Thumper does not "rub" the skin, itching does not usually occur. Itching may appear, however, under the following conditions: If one has poor circulation. If irritable material or clothing is used between Thumper and the skin (Ex. Synthetic materials). If left in one spot too long (this is due to increased circulation). If the relative humidity of the atmosphere is quite low. Question: Does Thumper 'kickback' energy/vibration to the handle? Answer: Thumper has very little 'kickback' to the operator. Not like many other vibrators. Question: What can I do if I find Thumper uncomfortable on one area? Answer: Thumper was designed to be strong and effective with all muscle groups. For sensitive areas, place a folded towel between Thumper and the area being massaged. Question: Why Thumper is more expensive than other models? Answer: The use of quality components, hand made units, strict quality control and built to sustain professional use are some of the reasons why Thumper is a premium price product. Question: Why does Thumper not have the bells and whistles? Answer: Simply, Thumper works and its technology is based on proven deep muscle massage techniques developed over 30 years. The bells and whistles may look like you are getting more "features" but they do not work to provide a better massage. Our investment in the product is on those components that directly improve the massage result and the quality and longevity of the product. We do not compromise with ineffective features. Question: Who should use Thumper? Answer: Anyone who: Stands/sits all day at their job. Spends a lot of time driving. Has new or chronic aches or pains. Has tension/stress. Plays sports/exercises frequently. Wants to feel good! Question: How should I choose a massager? Answer: Identify your needs. For what reasons do you need a massager, do you have any pain? Do you need to relax? Are you going to use the unit on a regular basis? How many people will be using the unit? Are you looking to use your massager in the years to come? The answer to these questions will help you to decide if you need a strong, reliable unit, high quality massager as oppose to a "toy". Enjoy your massage experience! Why Thumper? Take it from the pros. ThumperŪ is the first choice of chiropractors, massage therapists and professional athletes in treating muscle aches and tension. In fact, Thumper Massagers are used by over 200,000 professionals worldwide. Here's why: You feel a Thumper massage throughout your body, not just on the surface of your skin. How ThumperŪ Massagers are different... Thumpers are percussive. Thumpers offer steady, comfortable pulsations that penetrate through all the muscle layers even the thickest muscles releasing tension and fatigue. Thumpers do not vibrate. Thumpers are direct drive. The energy of the motor is sent efficiently and directly into the muscle you wish to massage. You will not feel your whole body "shaking" while using Thumper Massagers. Thumpers are dynamically balanced. The massage energy does not "creep" back to the handle or casing of the massager. No kickback to your hands or casing. Thumpers are strong. No mistaking these models with Far East imports. Thumpers are reliable, as well as built to last and to sustain professional use. Thumpers offer a deep tissue massage with no work. Typical vibrators skim over the skin surface and require added pressure to get deeper. Thumper's perpendicular "up & down" action travels into the muscle 1/4 inch deep, 28 times per second - a form of "trigger point" effect which is diminished if extra pressure is applied. Just "park" it. Thumpers do the work, not you! Thumpers are precision built in Canada. Developed by professionals who know and understand massage. With thirty years of massage manufacturing experience, we offer 2 years warranty. All our units are assembled by hand and tested thoroughly before leaving our factory. Thumpers work well on both thick and thin muscles. Thumpers are fully adjustable to the person or body part you wish to massage. |
