Whenever I am coming back from the IDEA World Fitness
Convention, I bring something back. I always come back with new ideas and great
information. More often than not, it is also something to touch and feel from a
small relatively inexpensive gadget to something much larger and much more
expensive. This year I was able to combine the two virtues: small AND
expensive. But what a thing we got!
At this time already nicknamed the ‘Magic Machine’ it is
a tool from Rapid Release Technology. This thing is about the size of a
hand-held kitchen mixer and provides a very specific rate and depth of
vibration which breaks up scar tissue and adhesions and has a wonderfully
relaxing effect when applied to sore necks and shoulders. If you want to find
out more, you can go to their website www.rapidreleastech.com.
I am usually suspicious when something seems too good to
be true, and before I part with a large amount of money, I need to be convinced
that this is legit. When I roamed the expo hall, the people manning the booth
hailed me over and asked whether I had a place on my body that hurts. As a
matter of fact, I had. There was a place in my neck that had resisted the
combined effort of MELT, my rolfer and my chiropractor (even though it had
gotten better through all of the above). Within 5 minutes, this spot felt A LOT
better. I went back to the booth a few hours later for another dose and then
got out my credit card. Had to have it!
It’s been in constant use at the studio ever since we had
it. With regular application, this thing can perform minor (and, in my case,
major) miracles. It is a bit on the
noisy side which makes it even more surprising that there is another person in
the studio who gets a daily dose of vibration: Mr. Darcy, my beloved dog.
