STRIG combines the specialized ergonomic designs of IASTM tools with microcurrent and micro-vibration muscle therapy technology to accelerate the rate of recovery or prime the muscles before any type of workout session.

SEOUL, South Korea (PRWEB)
August 26, 2020

After raising over $400,000 through Kickstarter and Indiegogo, STRIG has solidified its supply chains and manufacturing infrastructure. Now, the company is planning to have U.S. fulfillments to be exclusively done through Amazon for the foreseeable future.

Current market trends have shown that percussion massage devices are growing in popularity, in reality, these blunt tools do not provide proper preventive care or post-workout care for the muscles. STRIG combines the specialized ergonomic designs of IASTM tools with microcurrent and micro-vibration muscle therapy technology to accelerate the rate of recovery or prime the muscles before any type of workout session.

The medical-grade stainless steel blade glides along the body, pinpoints the trigger points, and release the knots that are hidden deep within the layers of muscle. STRIG’s microcurrents stimulate the growth of new nerves and encourage the production of collagen to quickly restore injured muscle tissue. The micro-vibrations work in tandem with the blade design to pinpoint and release trigger points no matter how deep they are located within the muscle. The combination of these features is what allows for total muscle care.

“Our team was extremely delighted to see that so many of our Kickstarter campaign backers were satisfied with their STRIG. However, we knew that there was room for improvement and so, we used the feedback from our Kickstarter backers to update the design and hardware. Thanks to the Amazon Launchpad program, we were able to get STRIG listed on the Amazon marketplace and I’m confident that the new and improved version of STRIG will provide professional-level muscle therapy for everyone at an affordable cost.” – Hwan-Kyung Oh, CEO of STRIG Inc.

STRIG will be available on Amazon starting August 26th, 2020 for $179. This discounted price is set to last for the next two months and will revert to its original retail price of $199.00 starting October 26th. Amazon Prime members will be able to receive their STRIG within two days after placing their order.

STRIG Inc. is a South Korean lifestyle and healthcare startup that aims to revolutionize the way we understand muscle recovery. The team is led by Hwan-Kyung Oh, a practicing physiotherapist who thought that the current tools available on the market were not adequate for the kind of treatment he wanted for his patients. This led him to create STRIG and since then the device has been loved by thousands from all over the world.

“The units can clean and disinfect 1,000 square feet in a 10-minute cycle. We can clean the entire gym in 30 minutes.”

OSWEGO, Ill. (PRWEB)
August 20, 2020

While many Chicagoland gyms are struggling to entice clients back to the treadmills, the Eco Gym of Plainfield is employing the advanced technology of UVC Cleaning from Pilot Services, Inc. of Oswego to provide piece of mind for both their workers and clients during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We’re proud to be offering the Safezone 850M9 and the M20-120 Decontamination Device and UVC Cleaner for commercial use,” said Kimberly Warren, president and CEO of Pilot Services, Inc. “It’s the same UVC light disinfection technology that has been used for decades by hospitals to provide safe surface decontamination.”

Both units are large, portable, cylindrical devices that are easily rolled from room to room. They are self-contained, contactless, and can be activated when a room is empty. The UVC cleaning unit sweeps the room with beams of UVC light to zap 99.9967 percent of bacteria and microorganisms on surfaces, including COVID-19, with enough power to kill Staphylococcus Aureus at 16 feet (5 meters) in 10 minutes.

Ralph O’Donnell, property manager of the Heritage Meadows Village Center at 11914 Illinois Route 59 #136 in Plainfield, Ill, recognized the need and value in purchasing two UVC cleaners to use for his tenants, beginning with Eco Gym. O’Donnell recently assumed ownership of the Plainfield Eco Gym location and has begun modifying the facility to help members return to the gym and feel safe and socially-distanced in the space. The UVC Cleaning units are part of this overall effort.

“For us, it was a way of going above and beyond the CDC guidelines to keep those who enter our facilities as safe as possible,” said O’Donnell. “In addition to our cleaning routine from a professional team twice a week, our two UVC cleaning units are also activated after hours in the common spaces and in our fitness and training classrooms when available. The units can clean and disinfect 1,000 square feet in a 10-minute cycle. We can clean the entire gym in 30 minutes.”

O’Donnell has also offered introductory UVC cleaning to other tenants of Heritage Meadows Village Center with larger square footage, such as Freedom Brothers Pizzeria and Baird and Warner’s 75-agent office.

“We want to help keep our tenants physically as well as financially healthy during COVID-19,” said O’Donnell. “Helping them keep their facilities as decontaminated as possible will help them continue to attract the clients they need.”

The Safezone 850M9 is the best value for commercial facilities and is available from Pilot Services, Inc. for $12,950; the stronger, feature-packed M15-120 is $24,950. Leasing options and volume discounts are available. Both products are highlighted on
