Muscle Angel Massagers™ Help Musicians Reduce Hand, Arm and Back Pain

(Vocus) April 20, 2010 --Susan Z. Robins, President of Muscle Angels™ and Cellist with the Longwood Symphony Orchestra in Boston, Massachusetts, is pleased to announce that the Original Muscle Angel™, a pain relief product that has musicians “singing its praises”, is now available for purchase online at MuscleAngelMassagers.com and Amazon.com.

The product, portable massage device (www.MuscleAngelMassagers.com), was designed to improve the quality of life for people who suffer from chronic muscle tension (www.MuscleAngelMassagers.com), stress related pain (www.MuscleAngelMassagers.com), tension headaches (www.MuscleAngelMassagers.com), and more. Muscle Angel Massagers™ were born from Susan’s own search for relief to pain brought on by many years of repetitive stress injuries (www.MuscleAngelMassagers.com) from playing a musical instrument and from computer over-use. Her bilateral tendonitis of the hands and arms eventually restricted her from numerous activities, including playing her cello.

Susan’s experience with muscle pain, extensive research and product due diligence, as well as her 25+ years as a sales and business executive, made her realize that there was a tremendous market for the elusive, “perfect” product. After more than two years of product research, focus group testing, interviews with medical professionals and massage therapists, yoga instructors, athletes, musicians, dancers, computer users (etc), and after prototype development, Susan was able to bring that elusive “perfect” product, the Original Muscle Angel™, to market.

Musicians often suffer from neck and back pain from sitting or standing through lengthy orchestra rehearsals or practice sessions. Additionally, they can experience repetitive stress injuries from over-using their hands and arms. No one knows this better than, Christopher Hanulik, Principal Bass in the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, “After a long day of orchestra rehearsals and teaching, I trust my Muscle Angel to bring my sore muscles back to life! My back and neck often feel knotted and, within minutes, my Muscle Angel gives me natural relief from the tightness. I've been recommending Muscle Angels™ to everyone in the orchestra!”

And, Keith Conant, Principal Viola with the Chicago Lyric Opera Orchestra, also gives Muscle Angels™ a ”two-thumbs up” -- “I just received my Muscle Angel and LOVE it. I was amazed at how well it worked on my neck and shoulders, which are always sore from long orchestra rehearsals. Plus, it's great to be able to help reduce my muscle pain (www.MuscleAngelMassagers.com) without the need to rely on someone else!”

But, these aren’t the only musicians talking; Muscle Angels™ debuts in orchestras across the country. Thomas Hanulik, a violinist with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra, says that his Muscle Angel “…has helped alleviate the soreness and fatigue in my arms and hands from playing the violin. My muscles felt so much after using the product and I had more range of motion and flexibility...I am planning on taking it to work to show to my orchestra colleagues”.

Muscle Angels™ has also receive endorsements from healthcare professionals. Early adopter, Kelly Belinsky, (Performing Arts Occupational Therapy), works tirelessly with musicians---helping them get back to playing their instruments. Kelly even uses Muscle Angels™ for her own neck, upper back and hand pain from over-use during patient OT sessions, and she continues to recommend Muscle Angels™ to her patients, saying that “Finally, there is an effective product for minimizing muscle pain and tension. If you suffer from chronic hand, arm, head, neck and/or shoulder pain, the Original Muscle Angel™ can definitely help!”

Muscle Angel Massagers™ are available online at www.muscleangelmassagers.com, as well as through occupational and physical therapy practices, and Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=muscle+angel+massagers).

About Muscle Angels™

Muscle Angels™ massage products work to reduce muscle pain and fatigue, and increase flexibility, circulation, mobility and elasticity.

Unlike massage therapy, however, Muscle Angel Massagers™ are designed to be used without the need for assistance from a partner, and even offer a hands-free solution for people who suffer from bilateral hand and arm problems and consequently, are unable to use their own hands to help knead achy and tight muscles.
