“I no longer have to fight with exercise cards, tear-off sheets with generic programmes, or draw stick diagrams. This is one programme that will play a role in the plan of management of each of your patients.”

Silvano A. Mior, DC, FCCS(C) Professor

In short, I’m impressed and so are my patients! I consistently strive to provide the highest quality for the people under my care and after 10 years of searching for exercise software, I’ve found your work. Its so easy, and with such phenomenal detail, it’s a no brainer and a must have in any Chiro office. My greatest compliment is that I have referred others. Thanks.

I love the programme! All patients tend to keep these exercise handouts whereas they discarded the generic pads.

BioPosture’s BioRepair Knee Band

Administrator — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 18:09:37 +0000

BioPosture BioRepair Knee Band

Infused with new and amazing nano-sized bio-ceramic particles that emit far infrared heat for natural healing

BioRepair Bands use a combination of far infrared thermal energy and compression to promote better circulation, faster recovery and relieve pain…

BioRepair™ bands are ideal for anyone with an active life. Exercise, traveling, sports, commuting, housework, deskwork … all put strain on joints and muscles. Originally designed for athletes, BioRepair™ uses compression and far infrared heat to naturally promote healing.

Nano-sized ceramic particles within the fabric emit far infrared rays to generate thermal energy, deeply penetrating tissues, tendons, muscles and ligaments in the affected area to promote blood circulation, for pain relief and speedy healing.

Wear day or night … or both. Hand washable.

Comes in small, medium, large, x-large, XXL.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is Far Infrared (FIR)?

FIR is part of the sunlight spectrum that is invisible to the human eye. The complete spectrum of sunlight consists of visible and invisible rays. The visible rays are red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, blue and violet in color. The invisible rays are Ultra Violet, X-rays, Gamma, Cosmic, Microwave, Long Wave, Electrical Wave and Infrared.

Electromagnetic waves between visible light and the microwave are called infrared waves. The wavelength of infrared waves range from 0.76 micron to 1,000 microns. This range is further subdivided into the ranges of Near, Medium and Far Infrared Rays with following wavelengths: 0.76 to 1.5 microns; 1.5 to 4 microns; and 4 to 1,000 microns respectively.

FIR waves are thermal. In other words, we experience this type of infrared radiation every day in the form of heat. Unlike ultraviolet light, FIR is harmless to the body.

How can the BioRepair bio-ceramic fiber emit FIR?

The principle is very simple. It is a well-known fact that human body constantly emits thermo energy. When the bio-ceramic in the fabric is stimulated by the thermo energy of the body, it is converted into the far infrared rays and reflects them back into the body. So the FIR emitted by the fiber is really powered by our own body. There are no known negative side effects.

How can FIR rays heal the human body?

One of the reasons that FIR has beneficial results in a variety of conditions is because FIR can deeply penetrate the skin and underlying tissues. When FIR penetrates the skin, it comes into contact with protein, collagen and fats. By stimulating micro-vibrations, FIR can elevate tissue temperatures. The human body can then be revitalized because of the improved blood circulation increases.

Another reason is that FIR has the ability to remove toxins in the body, which are at the core of many health problems. The build up of toxins in a healthy body can block the normal blood circulation and impair the cellular energy. When FIR is focused, the water molecules that encapsulate the toxins are heated and start to vibrate, reducing the ion bonds that are holding together the molecules of water. As the breakdown of the water molecules occurs, encapsulated gases and other toxic materials are released and the body is rejuvenated.

What are the symptoms that FIR products relieve?

FIR products have been shown to have therapeutic effect on many chronic health symptoms such as arthritis, muscle pain and spasm, should and other joint stiffness, such as Raymaud’s syndrome.

How long does it take to feel the effects?

Time taken to feel the effect varies depends on the condition being treated and the patient’s overall health condition. One may start feeling the pain relieving impacts of a BioRepair band within hours while others wearing our bands may take a few days to notice the profound results.

Is it possible that one may not feel anything using BioRepair?

Depending on the individual’s health, sometimes the effects of our products are more subtle. If your patient does not feel anything by using our FIR products, he/she may be healthier than others who do feel the effects immediately. In such case, using BioRepair can provide the benefits of long term preventative therapy.

How often can I use BioRepair bands?

BioRepair bands can be worn as long as you like. They can be worn during activity and they can be worn during sleep.

Are there any negative side effects of BioRepair?

There are no known side-effects from using BioRepair. And since they are non-magnetic, BioRepair bands do not adversely affect pace makers.

What are BioRepair bands made from?

All of our products are made from man-made fibers impregnated with nano-sized bio-ceramic particles. They are hand washable, a process that does not dilute the FIR therapy benefits.

Is there any medical proof?

There have been numerous studies on the therapeutic effects of FIR products.

One clinical study done by Drs. Gordon Ko and David Berbrayer at Sunnybrook and Women’s College Health Science Centers at the University of Toronto, published in the August 2002 issue of Alternative Medicine Review’s “Journal of Clinical Therapeutics”, showed that there are significant improvements in both subjective measures of pain and discomfort associated with Raynaud’s Syndrome.

Another study by Hideyoshi Toyokawa and others in Japan using rats published in Experimental Biology and Medicine, it showed that the FIR can improve wound healing significantly.
