The Pressure Positive company and their 'knobber' products have long been a favorite of mine, though I admittedly have looked at their 'tools' and said 'you could make something like this out of wood for a fraction of the cost. That's the downside of having been handy in the workshop in the past. Having brought up our 'values' and 'thinking' about money by using myself as an example of how we sometimes have to get past that 'practicality', and say 'if this tool reduces my pain, is it worth $XX.00? If the answer is 'yes', I suggest people consider purchasing the gadget, particularly when they're this common sense, will last forever, and require no maintenance.
Their website is now a favorite of mine for education and I set up this link to the portion that is about Myofree and headache, TMJ education, TMJ dysfunction/pain and their solutions. Please remember it's many things that contribute to pain conditions, and looking at hydration, diet, activity/exercise, and sleep, as well as stress and how a person deals with that, including meditation and prayer/spirituality is my wholehearted, holistic recommendation. We have created information on most every of the major aspects here at Lumigrate since our start in 2009. But my use of the Pressure Positive company's tools goes way back in my career as an occupational therapist.

For those interested in "groovy" local education and networking for those uniquely talented LumiGRATE experts located in my own back yard, "LumiGRATE Groove of the Grand Valley" is a Facebook page to join. (Many who have joined are beyond our area but like to see the Groovy information! We not only have FUN, we are learning about other providers we can be referring patients to and 'wearing a groove' to each other's doors -- or websites/home offices!)
