GlideCycle

GLIDECYCLE™ & GLIDETRACK™ SPORTS PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT & CROSS TRAINING

Stride Lengthening and Enhancement

Extended range of motion through hips and legs during the gliding phase of each stride

Maximal Speed Training

Unweighted running allows users achieve and sustain significantly higher speeds than regular running
No risky impact from downhill or band assisted speed training necessary
Unique pelvic suspension is more comfortable and less constricting than harness systems which improves the effectiveness of sustained, high speed training

Low Impact Power Training

Hill training: The GlideCycle™ targets the most powerful running muscle groups
Brake resistance: Can be added to develop power on level surfaces and simulate explosive starts
High knee running
Reciprocal bounding (as in long jump approach)
Double leg bounding
Single leg training

Competitive Edge

May be used to allow extra high intensity, high mileage and aerobic training days without soreness or risk of injury
Extra power and strength development, especially in the core and posterior muscles, from GlideCycle™ and GlideTrak™ training may carry over into an extra “kick” needed on hills and sustained bursts of speed.
Provides efficient, high intensity workouts including interval training

Conditioning for Large Athletes

Ideal for football linemen and other heavy or aging athletes
May be great tool for off-season weight loss or management and for building an endurance base prior to start of season
More comfortable on joints, promotes enhanced running motion and may prevent injuries or joint stress, especially in larger, predisposed athletes

Ideal Cross Trainer

The best form of cross training for all running sports
Allows aerobic conditioning and recovery workouts without the usual soreness, fatigue and eccentric tissue breakdown from standard training.
Removes repetitive and potentially damaging pounding forces on joints
Simulates the natural running motion more closely than any other mode of exercise
Simulates a natural running environment, both indoor and outdoor
Functional carry over to running and other sports activities is much greater than conditioning on a stationary bicycle, elliptical trainer or in a pool
Ideal cross trainer for bicyclists as it strengthens and elongates muscle groups neglected by the small, repetitive pedaling motion and provides a more complete body workout
Opportunity for more efficient workouts, especially higher aerobic zone workouts, than bicycling on the road

Anodyne Therapy - The Trusted Name in Light Therapy

Clinical Studies

The Anodyne® Therapy System was the first infrared light therapy product cleared by the FDA in 1994, and it remains one of the few evidence based infrared light therapy modalities on the market today.

Many manufacturers reference clinical data completed using other light therapy products - and have little to no proprietary clinical data on their specific devices.

There are 14 published peer reviewed studies demonstrating the exceptional outcomes with Anodyne® Therapy Systems.

Throughout these studies, the term MIRE™ is also referenced. This term represents the words Monochromatic Infrared Energyand is a trademark of Anodyne® Therapy technology specifically.

These clinical studies have been published in such journals as Diabetes Care, Practical Pain Management, Age and Ageing and Endocrine Practice.

Graston Technique^®: A Synopsis

Changing the way soft tissue injuries are treated

Graston Technique^® is an innovative, patented form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization that enables clinicians to effectively break down scar tissue and fascial restrictions. The technique utilizes specially designed stainless steel instruments to specifically detect and effectively treat areas exhibiting soft tissue fibrosis or chronic inflammation.

Originally developed by athletes, Graston Technique^® is an interdisciplinary treatment used by more than 12,500 clinicians worldwide—including physical and occupational therapists, hand therapists, chiropractors, and athletic trainers.

GT is utilized at some 1,200 outpatient facilities and 33 industrial sites, by more than 200 professional and amateur sports organizations, and is part of the curriculum at 49 respected colleges and universities.

For the clinician:

Provides improved diagnostic treatment
Detects major and minor fibrotic changes
Reduces manual stress; provides hand and joint conservation
Increases patient satisfaction by achieving notably better outcomes
Expands business and revenue opportunities

For the patient:

Decreases overall time of treatment
Fosters faster rehabilitation/recovery
Reduces need for anti-inflammatory medication
Resolves chronic conditions thought to be permanent

For employers and the healthcare industry:

Allows patients to remain on the job
Reduces the need for splints, braces and job-site modifications
Contributes to reduction of labor and healthcare costs, direct and indirect

"The Graston Technique^® Instruments allow a deeper, more sensitive palpation and treatment of fibrotic restricted tissue."

—Warren I. Hammer, MS, DC, DABCO

Six stainless steel instruments form the cornerstone of Graston Technique^®

The curvilinear edge of the patented Graston Technique^® Instruments combines with their concave/convex shapes to mold the instruments to various contours of the body. This design allows for ease of treatment, minimal stress to the clinician's hands and maximum tissue penetration.

The Graston Technique^® Instruments, much like a tuning fork, resonate in the clinician's hands allowing the clinician to isolate adhesions and restrictions, and treat them very precisely. Since the metal surface of the instruments does not compress as do the fat pads of the finger, deeper restrictions can be accessed and treated. When explaining the properties of the instruments, we often use the analogy of a stethoscope. Just as a stethoscope amplifies what the human ear can hear, so do the instruments increase significantly what the human hands can feel.
