When
used on a regular basis, FLEXTEND® and
the FLEXTEND®-AC
effectively lengthen short, restrictive, overdeveloped
muscle groups while simultaneously strengthening long,
weak, underdeveloped muscle groups in order to
create more normal strength/length ratios between agonist
and antagonists. By creating a balance
between the muscle and tendon structures in the finger,
hand, wrist, forearm, upper arm and shoulder,
you can often greatly reduce or completely eliminate
the abnormal pressures within and around these joints
and allow the body's natural healing processes to function.
University
and Private Testing has shown that the FLEXTEND® and
the FLEXTEND®-AC stretching and strengthening programs
can alleviate or greatly reduce the symptoms
of individuals
suffering with
Repetitive Strain injuries, including Carpal Tunnel Syndrome,
Trigger Finger, Guyon's Syndrome, AC-Injuries, Thoracic
Outlet Syndrome and many other musculoskeletal disorders
of the upper extremity.
