“Most
physicians simply tell patients to “ice”
an injured body part. But when the physician becomes the patient,
she
learns how messy and inconvenient ice packs can be—not to mention they
simply don't outlast the pain. No matter where you hurt, or why
you
hurt, pain takes your life away. When I blew out my knee I
was not
sleeping, in pain, and frustrated that nothing seemed to help. I
purchased the
Polar 2009 active therapy system and now I call it my portable life
support
system—it provides immediate, continuous pain relief that is
non-sedating
and not addicting (unless ice is a vice!) I love this machine and it
goes
everywhere with me—day and night. Used as needed, intermittently,
I find
that I am more rested and relaxed—I thank you and I am sure my patients
will
thank you also!”
