Vigorous Innovations Now Offering Valentine’s Day Discount on Percussion Massager Guns and Hemp Oil

Leave a comment


News Image


CROWLEY, Texas (PRWEB)

There’s an old adage that says, “Love is the greatest gift of all” and in keeping with the Valentine’s Day holiday, representatives with Vigorous Innovations announced today that the company is now offering a 20% discount on percussion massagers, hemp oil, other products available on its online store.

“We’re are glad to offer the discount to make it more affordable for those planning to buy deep tissue massage guns and help oil,” said Justin Robinson, owner and spokesperson for Vigorous Innovations, and went on to add, “the new professional massage guns reduce stress, pain and tissue tension to enhanced recovery, blood circulation, and range of motion.”

Robinson went on to point out that Vigorous Innovations’ online store empowers current and prospective customers with a wide variety of unique products. A few of those products, according to Robinson, include personal percussion massage gun, mini handheld percussion massager, ultra-quiet percussion massager, and hemp oil for pain relief.

The company recently launched the VI PRO Mini version of its percussion massage gun that eliminates the fatigue of the day and relieve the muscle soreness after exercise. In daily life, on the road, after sport.

Robinson went on to add the new professional massage gun reduces stress, pain and tissue tension to enhanced recovery, blood circulation, and range of motion.

“The VI PRO Mini deep tissue massage gun comes with six interchangeable heads for every nook and cranny of your body,” Robinson highlighted.

“The ball head is used for large muscles, steel ball for a little firmer massage, and the flat head is suitable for all parts of the body. You can use the steel flat head for areas such as the back and legs, and forkhead for the spine, neck, and shoulders, while bullet head can be used for joints, deep tissues, and trigger points,” Robinson stressed.

Robinson went on to point out that the VI PRO Mini percussion massager is the quietest massage gun in the market. Keeping treatment quiet is a major priority when using massage guns in public. The new percussion massage gun has a 24V brushless motor and quite glide noise reduction technology that brings high power but low noise experience at 35dB-55dB only.

To top it off, the newly-released product also comes with a 100 percent money-back guarantee and full year warranty.

As to how customers rate the product, one Amazon reviewer identified as Makai gave it all five stars and described it as an awesome massager.

“I’m a triathlete, and I’ve been thinking about purchasing one of these percussion massagers for a while,” Makai said, before revealing, “I was hesitant to spend that type of money for one and was planning to purchase a cheaper one. I’m so glad I spent the money. This item is powerful, quiet easy-to-use. It arrived on time, and when I open the box, it was in its hard case. This massager really gets into hard to reach places and also takes out those knots. I recommend this item if you’re looking to purchase one.”

But he isn’t the only one. A second Amazon reviewer identified as Jeremy Taylor also gave it all five stars.

“I am a sports chiropractor, and this device is a must-have for any sports therapist/clinician as well as for personal use,” Taylor said. “I use it to decrease tone in tight muscles but also to activate muscles that aren’t firing due to injury, inflammation, overuse, or inactivity. I’ve used other therapy guns, but they are so loud and distracting in a clinic. This device is very quiet, and I can use it on patients all day without needing to recharge it. And the price is amazing.”

GreyCastle Security and iatricSystems™, Inc. Partner to Deliver a Full Suite of Privacy and Security Solutions

Leave a comment


GreyCastle Security is the industry’s leading provider of cybersecurity risk assessment, advisory and mitigation services.

“When it comes to a partnership that combines experiences in this competitive space, this relationship increases patient safety from a cybersecurity perspective.”


TROY, N.Y. (PRWEB)

GreyCastle Security, the industry’s leading provider of risk assessment, mitigation, and certification-readiness services, and iatricSystems™, Inc., a healthcare technology company dedicated to helping healthcare organizations enhance their IT investments, recently entered into a strategic relationship. By joining forces, iatricSystems and GreyCastle Security can now deliver, from start to finish, a complete suite of privacy and security solutions and support for those solutions to their customer base.

Cybersecurity is a growing concern in the healthcare industry. According to HIPAA Journal, the majority of companies are spending their budgets on network security and advanced technologies to increase the security of data transfers. However, the greatest challenge hospitals face is keeping up with the ever changing landscape of cybersecurity.

In addition to budget constrictions, 53 percent of surveyed healthcare firms revealed that the complexity of healthcare systems is the main reason they haven’t upgraded security measures. iatricSystems and GreyCastle Security recognize that in order to create a robust security plan for hospitals, it often requires resources from multiple vendors and solution providers. By working together, iatricSystems and GreyCastle Security complete the legwork for their customers to find the best mix of solutions and providers.

“When it comes to a partnership that combines experiences in this competitive space, this relationship increases patient safety from a cybersecurity perspective,” said GreyCastle Security’s Director of Strategic Partnerships, Sean Phillips. “GreyCastle Security’s risk-based approach to cybersecurity will help create the perfect blend of services to enable hospitals and health systems to increase the defensibility of their programs.”

Working in tandem, iatricSystems offers the solutions to monitor patient privacy, secure remote access, and manage vendor risk, while GreyCastle Security completes risk assessments, builds incident response plans, prepares for OCR audits, and acts as an ongoing solution advisor.

“As hospitals implement new security solutions and checkpoints, cybercriminals are hard at work finding new ways to breach systems,” said iatricSystems Executive Vice President Rob Rhodes. “That’s why it is so important for hospitals to have partners that they can trust to put a good plan in place to protect themselves from breaches, meet regulatory requirements (i.e., HIPAA), and complete ongoing risk assessments.”

With the continuous rise of security breaches, experts believe that, if not taken seriously, the healthcare sector could face a damaging financial impact and increased risk to patient safety in the next four to five years.The partnership between GreyCastle Security and iatricSystems is designed to strengthen security efforts and deliver peace of mind for healthcare organizations and their patients.

About GreyCastle Security

GreyCastle Security is the industry’s leading provider of cybersecurity risk assessment, advisory, and mitigation services. The company was established to help organizations establish effective cybersecurity programs, minimize the impact of security incidents, and simplify compliance. GreyCastle Security has clients throughout North America, specializing in cybersecurity for healthcare, higher education, financial services, technology, and critical infrastructure.

Sorting Out the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly With Skin Fungus

Leave a comment


Rebecca Sklar, RPA-C with Advanced Dermatology PC

There are different forms of fungi that make their home on our skin and in our bodies. However, health problems arise if there is an overgrowth, or if foreign fungi invade.


STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. (PRWEB)

Probably, the Clint Eastwood movie comes to mind first. “But ‘The Good, the Bad and the Ugly’,” says Rebecca Sklar, a certified registered physician assistant specializing in dermatology with Advanced Dermatology PC, “is also a great moniker for the millions of fungi that we share the world with. Most are harmless, even good, like those mushrooms on our pizza! However, some forms can cause common skin and nail infections about which we should be aware.”

As we learned in high school biology, “fungi” is a kingdom of organisms that inhabit soil, water and air, as well as other living creatures, including humans. “There are different forms of fungi that make their home on our skin and in our bodies,” explains Sklar. “However, health problems arise if there is an overgrowth, or if foreign fungi invade.”

Fungal skin and nail infections affect millions. “One the most common forms is ringworm, medical name ‘tinea’ or ‘dermatophytosis,’” notes Sklar. “As many as fifteen percent of us have ringworm on our feet, better known as ‘athlete’s foot.’ Another common type is ‘tinea cruris’, also called ‘jock itch.’”

Ringworm sometimes appears as a circle. However, with athlete’s foot, the red, itchy rash typically shows up between the toes. In cases of “jock itch,” a red, scaly, itchy rash affects the groin area.

In addition to ringworm, other species of fungi, including Candida, can cause skin infections, as well as fungal nail infections. The medical name for this is ‘onychomycosis,’ which may discolor and progressively damage the nail.

“Fungal skin infections,” observes Sklar, “can appear similar to other conditions. A specialist’s diagnosis is important so that the infection receives the distinct treatment it requires and is not mistreated. For example, steroid creams can exacerbate cases of ringworm.”

“With fungal nail infections,” continues Sklar, “the longer they progress, the harder they are to eradicate.”

Most fungal infections respond well to treatment, including over-the-counter (OTC) applications, as well as prescription medicines. “In some cases,” adds Sklar, “doctors may recommend interventions such as laser therapy.”

“It’s important for patients to understand the conditions that help inhibit fungal growth,” emphasizes Sklar, “so that they can make choices that will support their treatment.”

With that in mind, Sklar has the following suggestions:

5 Tips on Addressing Fungal Skin and Nail Infections:

1. Keep your cool: “Fungi love warm and wet,” explains Sklar. “Infections typically occur in those body environments, like sweaty feet. We want to get out of damp footwear and clothing ASAP, as well as taking other steps, like applying drying powders.”    

2. Keep it clean: “Fungi is contagious,” states Sklar, “and can travel on personal items, like towels and nail clippers, as well as clothing that touches infected areas. Fresh, dry clothes, especially socks and underwear, are important, with more-than-daily changes if needed, for example after working out. Likewise, we want to keep nails trimmed and personal items disinfected.”

3. Let it breathe: “Tight, ‘unbreathable’ materials can result in the wet, warm environment that fungi love,” notes Sklar. “Cotton clothing – especially socks and underwear – and comfortable, ‘breathable’ footwear can help keep fungi at bay.”

4. Some cases need more than OTC: “Ringworm such as athlete’s foot and jock itch,” says Sklar, “often responds well to over-the-counter products, such as terbinafine. But other forms, such as on the scalp, require prescription treatment. And nail fungus can be stubborn. A combination of prescription oral and topical medication may work. And in our practice, we’re seeing excellent results with laser treatments, which have the benefit of avoiding medications’ side effects.”

5. Practice prevention: “The maxim ‘sharing is caring,’” observes Sklar, “does not apply to fungi. Personal grooming items and towels should be personal. Likewise if we’re at the salon, we want to be sure that pedicure and manicure items are disinfected between clients. At the gym as well, clean towels and shower shoes are essential.”

“The dermatologist’s office,” concludes Sklar, “can put fungi in their proper place, so that we can focus on the good ones – like those on our pizza!”

1-800-PetMeds® To Sponsor Bideawee Animal Shelter To Bring Excellent Pet Wellness To New Adoptive Pet Parents

Leave a comment


At Bideawee, we want to make sure our adopters have the right tools and products to provide their new animals with a long and healthy life. We are thrilled to be partnering with 1-800-Pet Meds® who are experts in pet care and disease prevention.


DELRAY BEACH, Fla. (PRWEB)

To help make sure new pet parents have the support, products, and education they need to keep their new family members healthy, 1-800-PetMeds® is teaming up with Bideawee by sponsoring the no-kill rescue organization from February 1, 2020 to January 31, 2021.

Adopting a pet is life-changing. Many pet parents are overwhelmed with new responsibilities like changing routines, learning how to care for their pet, and obtaining tools, toys, and supplies, all while bonding with their new best friend.

This feeling of being overwhelmed often leads to the pet being returned to the shelter or given away. According to the American Humane Society, about 1 in 10 adopted pets are no longer in their new home just six months post-adoption.

Bideawee’s mission is to connect pets and people – for loving relationships that last a lifetime. Potential adopters are set up with a matchmaker who helps them find the perfect pet based on their personality, lifestyle, and the pet’s special needs and quirks.

All animals in its care are given the medical, emotional, and behavioral support to help set them up to be well-rounded pets in their new home. Adopters who get their pet from either the Manhattan or Westhampton adoption center become a part of Bideawee’s large extended family, and can continue to have a relationship with those who cared for their pet at the shelter.

“Bringing a new pet home for the first time can be exciting and daunting at the same time, especially if it’s your first-ever cat or dog. We’re so excited to be a part of Bideawee’s mission to help new pet parents get the education and support they need so they can focus on falling in love with their new pet.” says Larissa Schenck, Director of Marketing at 1-800-PetMeds®.

“At Bideawee, we want to make sure our adopters have the right tools and products to provide their new animals with a long and healthy life. We are thrilled to be partnering with 1-800-Pet Meds® who are experts in pet care and disease prevention,” says Leslie Granger, President and CEO of Bideawee.

About 1-800-PetMeds®

Founded in 1996, Petmeds.com is America’s Most Trusted Pet Pharmacy® providing fast, easy and helpful service to over ten million customers across the U.S. by delivering prescription and non-prescription medications and pet supplies for less, direct to the consumer through its 1-800-PetMeds® toll-free number, on the Internet through its website Petmeds.com, or with the 1-800-PetMeds® mobile app available for free at Google Play for Android and the App Store for iOS.

About Bideawee

Bideawee, which means “stay awhile,” in Scottish, is one of the country’s oldest and most respected animal welfare and pet adoption organizations. Founded in 1903, Bideawee’s mission is to be Greater New York’s leader in rescuing, caring for, and placing homeless cats and dogs with people who love them. Bideawee provides an array of high touch services including adoption centers, animal hospitals, pet therapy programs, and pet memorial parks that serve pets and pet lovers on their lifelong journey together. Bideawee is a not-for-profit 501(c) 3 humane animal organization and 100% of Bideawee’s funding comes from private sources. Bideawee operates in New York City, Wantagh, and Westhampton.

Matmarket Launches Latest Version of Insite® Contoura Insoles, the Next Step in Comfort and Performance, in Collaboration with DuPont Tate & Lyle Bio Products

Leave a comment


The performance and sport science properties of Insite® insoles are industry leading, and we are happy that Matmarket chose Susterra® propanediol to help make these performance breakthroughs a reality.


BOSTON, Mass. (PRWEB)

This week, Matmarket is launching the latest version of Insite® Contoura Insoles, featuring 25 percent bio-based Susterra® propanediol, a renewably sourced, plant-based building block that delivers high performance across a wide variety of polymer applications. Susterra® propanediol is a molecular building block that is a fundamental part of the material structure, and not simply an additive, which allows Insite® to reach new performance heights with a lower carbon footprint. Compared with conventional petroleum-based alternatives, Susterra® propanediol produces 48 percent less greenhouse gas emissions and uses 46 percent less nonrenewable energy from cradle-to-gate.

“The performance and sport science properties of Insite® insoles are industry leading, and we are happy that Matmarket chose Susterra® propanediol to help make these performance breakthroughs a reality,” said Steve Hurff, Vice President of Marketing & Sales at DuPont Tate & Lyle Bio Products. “In addition, Susterra® propanediol, a USDA Certified 100 percent bio-based product, enables a lower carbon footprint compared to petroleum-derived materials, meaning that brands and consumers no longer have to make tradeoffs for sustainability and performance.”

“We started developing with Susterra® propanediol for the sustainability benefits, however, we ended up integrating it into all of our products since the material performance alone outperformed our non-bio alternatives,” stated Gregory Diharce, Chief Product Officer at Matmarket LLC. “The partnership with Susterra® allowed us to develop compounds that enhanced material performance and durability while reducing overall weight which we have not found with any other bio-product.”

Insite® Contoura insoles use the latest in polymer science and ergonomic shape to elevate the comfort of every shoe. No longer is step-in comfort, performance and arch support exclusive of each other. Through continuing research, Insite® insoles have proven to reduce hip, knee and ankle injuries by up to 36 percent when tested against footwear without ergonomic insoles. It is the first insole technology to measure the onset of fatigue to give brands the confidence of true, all-day comfort. Now with Susterra® propanediol, we are able to produce a lighter, higher performing and more sustainable product which continues to elevate the standard in footwear comfort.

ClearStar wins first contract in facilities management sector

ClearStar wins the first contract in the facilities management sector

“This contract expands our footprint within healthcare – and adds to a number of wins or expansions that we have recently received in this core sector. As a result, it has been an encouraging start to 2020 and we remain excited about the opportunities ahead.”


ALPHARETTA, Ga. (PRWEB)

ClearStar (AIM: CLSU), a provider of Human Capital Integrity℠ technology-based services specialising in background and medical screening, announces that it has been appointed by a leading facilities management company to provide background screening of service providers entering its healthcare locations. This is ClearStar’s first contract in the facilities management sector and the Company expects it to generate a minimum revenue of $0.4m during the roll-out phase this year.

The customer provides facilities management and maintenance to leading brands across North America, with over 120,000 locations under management, in a range of industries. It helps manage facilities through its technology solutions and a substantial network of service providers. ClearStar has been appointed to provide background screening for the customer’s new programme that requires all service providers to its healthcare facilities to undergo a background check and maintain a virtual ID card.

The virtual ID card incorporates the relevant information from the background screen thanks to ClearStar’s integration with the provider, Virtual Badge. The integration can also allow for continuous screening monitoring, with a badge becoming automatically suspended should the employee commit a predefined offence.

Robert Vale, CEO of ClearStar, said, “This is another fantastic customer win for ClearStar, reflecting the continuing upscaling of our client base with the increasing recognition of our brand. It marks a milestone as our first contract in the facilities management industry, which is an area with great growth potential. We help ensure the safety of the workplace by verifying the individuals who are entering, which is particularly relevant when it involves a large number of external service providers. We also have the opportunity to cross-sell further solutions to these service providers who will already be on-boarded to our platform. In addition, this contract expands our footprint within healthcare – and adds to a number of wins or expansions that we have recently received in this core sector. As a result, it has been an encouraging start to 2020 and we remain excited about the opportunities ahead.”
