New "on-the-go" painkiller option

Online, January 25, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Launched at the January 2010 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, the AOK igood portable acu-therapy massager sets a new standard of convenience for anyone needing relief from aches & pains or stress, which can be used virtually anywhere, anytime. The USA market for painkiller tablets (prescribed or OTC) is huge, estimated at approx. US$75Billion annually. Of course, aches & pains are virtually universal to humans - everyone experiences aches & pains at times & many of us feel stress; everyone has painkillers in the medicine cabinet or somewhere at home.

At times at the CES AOK booth, people were lined up waiting to see & try for themselves the AOK igood portable acu-therapy massager, which is attached to a gel-backed tourmaline pad and is placed on the skin near the affected area. Once it's switched on, 8 pre-programmed cycles direct low-frequency impulses through the tourmaline pad to smooth tense muscle or affected joints, to bring increased blood-flow and trigger release of endorphins - the body's own natural painkiller. The 'portable acu-therapy massager is easy to use, having only an on/off button, & a button each to increase or decrease the strength of impulses. Tourmaline is the only mineral on earth to show permanent electricity and is also a natural source of negative ions and far infrared rays, which enables it to penetrate deep into muscle tissue, thereby improving circulation, relieving stress, increasing mental alertness and strengthening the immune system function (Source: Niwa Institute for Immunology, Japan. Int J. Biometeorol 1993 Sept; 37(3) 133-8.)

The use of healing electrical impulses in America traces back to the 1890's, & "TENS" units are in daily use in thousands of American medical & therapy settings; the purpose of a TENS unit is to block pain signals being transmitted to the brain, to effectively "block" pain. While the AOK igood portable acu-therapy massager produces sensations similar to a TENS unit, as attested to by many TENS owners at CES, the AOK igood portable acu-therapy massager differs by using low-frequency impulses which prompt the release of endorphins, rather than blocking pain signals. The portability - the ease of use anywhere, anytime is what places the AOK igood portable acu-therapy massager in a class of its own, for "on-the-go" natural pain relief. It has both FCC (USA) & CE (Euro) certification.

The AOK igood portable acu-therapy massager is a perfect complement for businesses supplying medical, therapy or sports services or beauty, salons, spas or any health & wellness businesses, as well as "coming soon to a store near you:" This hit new product launched at CES 2010 is set to bring relief to all it touches.
