Spinal Exercise Device
The Saunders Group Inc announces that the innovative BodyBow spinal exercise device is now available in the United States.
The BodyBows sleek, curved surface is designed to encourage optimum spinal exercise. Patients can perform dozens of exercises, including stretching, strengthening, and stabilization routines. Upper and lower extremity exercises can also be performed easily and with optimum technique.
The BodyBow was introduced in Europe in 1995 and quickly became the gold standard in spinal exercise. Crafted with Scandinavian workmanship, the BodyBow is attractive and compact.
Stretching backward over the BodyBow gently stretches the spine into extension. Lying prone over the curved surface and actively arching backward results in spinal extension strengthening. Abdominal exercises and side sit-ups are also performed with optimal technique. The BodyBow includes a comprehensive instruction guide that illustrates many more exercises.

Cholesterol Lowering Tea Extract
Douglas Laboratories offers the Thea-Stat®, which lowers cholesterol. A recent clinical trial published in the June 23, 2003, Archives of Internal Medicine, shows clear evidence that the theaflavin-enriched tea extract lowers cholesterol.
Cholesterol levels of 240 men and women were studied to determine the effect of the theaflavin-enriched tea extract. After 12 weeks, participants taking this special tea extract experienced significant reductions in total cholesterol (11.3%) and LDL cholesterol (16.4%), compared to a placebo.
Standardized to contain 20% theaflavins and 40% catechins, Thea-Stat is manufactured through a controlled fermentation process of green tea leaves creating oxidation to a portion of the catechin components present in the green tea and linked to a family of compounds called theaflavins.
Theaflavins are typically found in black tea and help provide the tea with its characteristic color and taste. The outcome of the green tea fermentation process is an extract that is high in both theaflavins and catechins.
Douglas Laboratories has been providing superior nutritional supplements to the health care professional for 50 years. Working with an experienced research staff of PhDs and a world-renowned medical advisory board, Douglas Laboratories is committed to bringing novel, clinically supported products to the marketplace.

Custom Cervical Pillow
Foot Levelers Inc introduces three easy ways to get the Exclusively Yours, a custom-made cervical pillow for your practice.
Since each pillow is handcrafted from unique patient measurements, the original way to get started was to purchase a starter kit with a special measuring tool, sample pillow, and patient brochures. However, now there are two new ways you can get Exclusively Yours in your practice with little or no risk:
If you have x-ray calipers, call the customer service toll-free number for faxed instructions on how to use them for measuring your patients for the pillow.
Third, Foot Levelers now offers the smaller measuring kit that contains a measuring device, instructions, and order form for $19.95 (ask for item #264C).
Each Exclusively Yours pillow is handcrafted in our labs based on four measurements and the patient information you provide. The patient's name and doctor's contact information are embroidered onto the pillow cover. The Exclusively Yours pillow also includes the Sleep Cycle System, a patent-pending process that supports the cervical spine in back- and side-lying positions.
The Exclusively Yours is the second pillow introduction by Foot Levelers. In 1969, the company introduced the first cervical support pillow, the Pillo-Pedic®.

Patented Orthotics Line
Foot Levelers Inc offers Extreme Orthotics line with the patented Gait Cycle System® and types to suit any lifestyle.
The Extreme version of the patented Gait Cycle System (or GCSX) is a characteristic of the Extreme orthotic family. At heel strike, a heel pad made of Zorbacel® provides shock protection. In midstance, a supporting layer of StanceGuard throughout the orthotic provides firmness, flexibility, and control. Then, Propacel under the forefoot returns springy energy to help propulsion and reduce fatigue.

The four Extreme styles are: 1) Extreme XS: XS stands for Extra Smart. It incorporates the IntelliTemp and Dryz materials. IntelliTemp keeps feet warm in winter and cool in summer.

It has a durable leather top ideal for sudden twisting and turning required by sports. 3) Extreme XC: XC brings extra comfort. Its soft TechCel top has extra cushiony comfort. 4) Extreme XE: XE means extra energy.

Back Support
The Saunders Group Inc introduces the Back Seat®, their latest innovation in low back pain treatment and prevention.
The patented Back Seat combines an adjustable back support with rigid side panels. When the wearer sits down, the side panels support the weight of the upper body to unload the lumbar spine by nearly 70%. The side panels can be removed when not needed, so the Back Seat doubles as a regular back support. The Back Seat also features an adjustable lumbar support pad to help maintain lordosis in the seated position.
Advantages of the Back Seat include: improved sitting tolerance, decreased effects of gravity on the spine, decreased time away from work, pressure relief in the sitting position
J. Troy Gray, inventor, is confident that this back support will be well received by both clinicians and patients. Sitting tolerance is one of the most difficult problems with back pain, especially in chronic cases, said Gray. The Back Seat has enabled some people to sit more than 10 times longer than they could beforethis is a breakthrough that significantly affects their working and social lives.
The Saunders Group offers a full line of treatment and rehabilitation products for the spine.

Boundary Training CE Courses
ChiroCredit.com introduces Gender and Sensitivity (Boundary Training) courses for continuing education credit. The courses are instructed by Angelica Redleaf, DC, author of Behind Closed Doors: Gender, Sexuality and Touch in the Doctor/Patient Relationship, which received critical acclaim from The Journal of the American Psychiatric Association and noted authors Bernie Siegel, MD, and Peter Rutter, MD.
The courses are offered in 1-hour increments and there are a total of 12 hours available.
Redleaf, author of Behind Closed Doors states, This is a topic that goes relatively untouched during graduate studies as well as during postgraduate studies. Unfortunately, most chiropractors do not start learning about boundary training until after a complaint has been filed against them. At that point, it may be too late to avoid having a permanent effect on the chiropractor's license as well as harming a patient, which is the last thing we want to do.
Doctors who have taken Boundary Courses on the Web site have provided feedback stating the material is eye opening and informative.
All courses on ChiroCredit.com are sponsored by the University of Bridgeport College of Chiropractic and are approved in the vast majority of states for chiropractic continuing education credits.

China-Gel is an herbal and greaseless gel that incorporates modern technology with ancient pain relieving concepts of Chinese medicine.
