Fenix Rehab System Complete Self-Care Kit - Deluxe Model

First of all, if you are in pain, whether back, shoulder, hip or legs, this is the system for you. I have tried a number of tools to alleviate my aching back and shoulder, including different forms of tennis ball, firm rubber balls and squishy ball type systems and have used all the back knobber type devices and while each of them are good in their way, none of them quite does what this system does. If you have tried rolling on a tennis ball or softball, or tried to hit that small spot in the back of your shoulder with these hand held devices, you will understand how tough it is to get to these spots with those systems. Don't get me wrong, these systems have some merit and helped me get to 80% relief, which told me two things..my pain was myofacial and there had to be a way to fix my issues. There was, it is called the Fenix system. When I read reviews on Amazon, I see people commenting things like, " I have read the information and this should work" or equally benign, " I used this system three days, but I prefer..and then they talk about something else." I am not sure any of those comments qualify as an opinion worth valuing (not enough experience with the product for someone to state whether it works or not), so let me tell you I have used mine for almost three weeks and the pain relief is quick, easy, once you work with it (a few minutes) and worth every penny you will spend. If you are like me and either bent over a computer, sitting on airplanes and sleeping in strange beds (wife said to make sure I tell you this is from business during my travels), regardless of the ergonomics you use, you are probably experiencing some pain and if you are this system will help you. It comes with a booklet and a great DVD and while I have a number of the so called bibles on myofacial pain, this system gives you everything you need to start working on your problem today...and getting rid of the pain. The DVD walks you step by step through the system and your pain. Now, this isn't a miracle cure, so things like exercise, body alignment, proper nutrition. sleep and stress techniques all help toward fixing pain issues, but it might be the closest thing to a miracle you can buy to fix pain. I heard about this system from losethebackpain.com, but to be honest, I found the hype a little much (didn't really believe them, which was my bad, because the system does everything they say it will do), so I looked up on web and came to amazon to read reviews. I ordered from amazon. If you suffer pain whether arthritic, myofacial, old injurines and a host of other causes, this system will help you. Initially, you will get relief. It might only stay with you an hour or two, but stay with it and as the days go by, you will find just one treatment a day, keeps you pain free all day. Good luck on your journey.

I am an avid bodybuilder and have been training for 19 + years, two years ago I was diagnosed with shoulder impingement in my right bicep tendon. I spent a year "avoiding" exercises that irritated the condition. Although the condition improved I began to develop pain and tightness in my surrounding muscles. I.e traps, neck, rhomboids, front deltoid etc. I attribute all of these additional issues to improper motor patterns and compensation from the other muscles trying to pick up the slack. I have spent the next year actively rehabilitating my shoulder and have seen great improvement. Although I was able to heal the initial issue through specific rehab exercises I was still experiencing deep aching pain in my rhomboid/mid trap area and front deltoid. In fact I wasn't even able to do a push up with a sharp pain in my front deltoid. I decided to give this Fenix Rehab system a try as I saw some relief from the use of lacrosse balls as a means of active release and trigger point therapy. After purchasing the system I found that the board slid around under my body as I tried to position myself. I was almost ready to return the item when I decided to try and lay the system on a rubber yoga mat (to the manufactures credit they do recommend placing Velcro on the bottom of the board to avoid movement, but I just did not see this the first time I tried to use it). I am so glad that I gave the Fenix another try!! After a little experimenting with the board placement and the different pegs I was able to locate and treat the exact locations of my persistent and chronic problems. This isn't a miracle cure as I had to devote 20 minutes or more each day at first to using the system, but as the instruction note after a few weeks I was able to reduce the use of the system down to only 2 to 3 times per week. In fact the first time I tried the system on my front deltoid I got a strange sensation of muscle contraction and then an immediate sense of relaxation and release in the muscle. I decided to try and do a push up and to my shock I had absolutely no pain whatsoever. The only reason I rated this a 4 instead of a 5 is because of the difficulty in looking at the manual and trying to figure out what pegs were used and in what hole they were placed in. It would be a great help to have the holes numbered as well as the pegs so that the user could just look up what muscle was bothering them and then place the corresponding peg in the correct hole. Overall I am extremely happy with this product and would recommend it to anyone who is serious about helping relieve their chronic pain.
