| Research
commenced on
TheŽStick in the fall of 1989, and
since that time considerable anecdotal reports and findings
indicate that its use both warms and prepares the muscle system
for physical activity.
Thermographic evidence was
obtained in the fall of 2000 when the following thermographs
were taken under the directive of STL International, Inc. (STL
is located in Washington state and has been the industry leader
in inversion therapy for the past 20 years.)

Exhibit
A
Reveals a pre P to A
thermogram of the exposed lower back of a seated, 40-year-old
female with no intervention.

Exhibit
B
A
thermogram of the same area following 2 minutes of
intervention with
TheŽStick in the right lower back. |
Conclusion:
Clinical thermography reveals a distinct *temperature variation
following intervention with
TheŽStick.
(*Warm muscles
are less prone to injury due to their increased range of motion
and ability to absorb shock.)
