Hello, my name is Janice Kay Smith
I have been a personal trainer for 35 years. I often volunteer to meet the people that I train at their physical therapy sessions. In many of these sessions, I have noticed people wincing in pain while rolling on the floor, on a foam roller, attempting to stop the pain in their IT bands, hamstrings or adductors. Ninety percent of the time, the people on the floor are saying the same thing to their therapist, “This is painful!”
After years of watching this, I found myself looking down to the floor at a person that I was training. She was rolling on that foam roller trying to loosen her IT band. She looked up at me with an expression of pain on her face and said, yes you guessed it, “This is painful!” That’s when it dawned on me, I have got to do something about this! I thought to myself, there has got to be a better way, people should not be increasing their pain while trying to relieve their pain. So, I got started!
I invented a Hands Free Massage Device that allows a person to stand in neutral position, or sit upright in a chair in order to massage muscles and facia in their upper and lower body, controlled by a wireless hand held remote, that guides the massage attachment and allows a person to focus the massage where they need it the most.
Who will benefit:
> Men, Women, Children
>Sedentary people up to world class athletes
> For people with IT Band syndrome who:
find foam rollers, ball rolling and massage sticks, painful, awkward and hard to use, don’t like to get on the floor, have trouble getting down and up off the floor, are unable to support their body on their elbows or with their arms while on the floor using a foam roller or ball
> Physical therapy facilities, homes, gyms, health clubs, sports locker rooms (football, basketball, hockey, back stage for ballet dancers)
> Anyone seeking: a massage, to relieve painful, stressed or tight muscles, IT Bands, tendons, facia, ligaments and muscle spasms, to increase range of motion and blood supply in the upper and lower body
What the funds will be used for:
>Patent attorney fees.
So far my Patent Attorney fees add up to $17,261.25, so the funds are much needed now, to be able to keep the patent process moving forward.
What your support will mean to me and those who experience muscle pain:
I was inspired to invent this Hands Free Massage device after witnessing people around me increasing their pain while trying to relieve their pain. My Mom is 91. She has scoliosis and restless leg syndrome. If this Hands Free Massage Device was Patented, in Production and Available, she could just push a button and Easily get the relief she needs for her back and legs.
People of all ages and abilities will have the power in their hands, by using a remote control, to massage away pain while standing up or sitting still. No more rolling around on the floor or trying to reach around to massage a sore back, shoulder or hamstring with a stick or ball.
I am know as “The Safe Trainer”. Everyday I see people walking, standing and siting as if they are experiencing pain and I wish I could walk up to them and teach them how they could feel less pain. Perhaps with my Hands Free Massage Device I can reach a fraction of them. I would be very grateful if you would help me to do that. Thank you.
