Subject: Relief for Products of Pain

As computers and portable electronic devices increase in prevalence, Blackberry Thumb, PlayStation Portable Pain (PSPP) and Computer Vision Syndrome are the buzzwords that some households may be hearing around the dinner table. Sustained, frequent use of consumer electronics has been shown to contribute to headaches and repetitive stress injuries in active users. Products do exist though, that can help prevent carpal tunnel syndrome and alleviate the eyestrain caused by endlessly staring at a tiny screen.

For the gadget guru that can't get enough of their new Sidekick or sits too long at an Alienware game station, IMAK provides an array of pain relief products designed to lessen the fatigue and stresses caused by repeated use.

Smart Glove®:
Designed by an orthopedic surgeon, the Smart Glove incorporates a flexible, removable splint to prevent excessive bending but still allow full mobility. It features IMAK's ergoBeads™ in the palm area, helping to raise wrists to an ergonomically desired position. Perfect for the frequent computer user and videogamer. MSRP: $24.99

Smart Glove® w/ Thumb Support:
Similar to the best selling Smart Glove, this version features semi-rigid stays housed in a thumb extension, to provide maximum support for consumers who use their thumbs the most – Blackberry and videogame users. MSRP: $29.99

Eye Pillow:
While frequent breaks are recommended for heavy computer users, eyes can still become blurry, puffy, even irritated. The Eye Pillow provides puffy-eyed sufferers a comfortable break without the shocking feeling that ice or gel packs can provide. The ergoBeads in the eye pillow are naturally cool and provide soothing weight around the eye area. Makeup wearers take special note – the Eye Pillow features sewn in darts that leave room for mascara wearing eyelashes. MSRP: $14.99

ShoulderSaver™:
Whether carrying a heavy briefcase to work or a messenger bag to school, more and more people are complaining to doctors about increased shoulder and neck pain. IMAK incorporated its ergoBeads into a non-slip Velcro-closure sleeve to help distribute the weight of heavy bags and provide a gentle massage in the process. MSRP: $12.99

IMAK products are available nationwide at consumer electronics and chain-drug retailers (as well as online through www.IMAKproducts.com and other e-tail sites).
