Foam Roller
OPTP introduces the Half Pro-Roller™, a lightweight and durable foam roller for athletes, patients, chiropractors, and trainers to use while engaging in rehabilitation exercises. The foam roller may be used for self-massage, balance, core stability, myofascial release, muscular flexibility, and dynamic strengthening. Its half-cylindrical shape is inherently unstable and challenges proprioception on two planes.
Its textured waffle design reduces slipping when balancing exercises are performed, and its closed-cell and heat-sealed engineering ensures long-term use. The closed-cell construction keeps germs on the surface, where they can be easily wiped off. The 3 x 36-inch roller comes in a teal and white “wave” color.

Cleansing Tea

Chiro Klenz is a detoxification and cleansing tea that contains: Locust plant (Cassia Augustifolia Senna), a safe laxative that tones and restores the digestive system as it cleans the colon; Malva Verticellata (High Mallow), a demulcent that is anti-inflammatory and is known for its expectorant, astringent, and laxative qualities; and Gynostemma (Pentaphyllum), which helps regulate the body fat metabolism and helps balance the liver by effectively blocking the body’s conversion of sugar into stored fat. Gynostemma rids the body of toxins, microbes, and waste that may become lodged in the intestines. It is also rich in amino acids, antioxidants, and minerals.
