Dear MendMeShop, I fell on my bike under a UPS truck (It wasn't moving yet) because
I couldn't get my feet out of my clips and, consequently fell on my shoulder and tore my rotator cuff. The pain was almost intolerable, not to mention the inability to dress myself and do simple everyday tasks--like driving, working on computer, etc.
I saw my chiropractor, received multiple massages, participated in physical therapy and alternated ice/heat packs. I knew from my masseuse that when you have an injury like this, it is very involved.
There are several different muscles that support the rotator cuff and when they become inflamed, sometimes scar tissue is formed as your body starts to heal.
The only thing that really seemed to help my shoulder improve and the pain subside was getting ultrasound at my Chiropractor's office, but since I couldn't afford to go that route on a daily basis, I searched online and found the MendMe shop's ultrasound wand.
After two weeks of using the wand, I was able to slowly start to get my muscles to fire again and rehabilitate via swimming, light weights and simple yoga stretched. Now, I have full range of my shoulder and am ready to get back on my bike and try again! Rating:  Judy C
More Rotator Cuff Facts:
The rotator cuff is a shallow 'ball-and-socket' joint where the humerus (upper arm) meets the scapula (shoulder blade).
2-5% of the population will experience Adhesive Capsulitis (Frozen Shoulder), most for no apparent reason.
Women and diabetics are common sufferers of Frozen Shoulder.
Ultrasound Therapy can greatly reduce the time it takes to move through the 3 stages of Frozen Shoulder.
Rotator cuff tears occur most frequently in men, ages 40-50, who do manual overhead work.
The most common tendon torn in the rotator cuff is the supraspinatus tendon.
A complete tear of the supraspinatus tendon will limit your ability to lift your arm at your side (abduct).
Ultrasound Therapy can improve the range of motion in the shoulder joint as it reduces pain.
Dear MendMeShop, The Ultrasound HT-901 with the MendMeShop gel, works! I've suffered with bursitis in my right shoulder for over a year and a half. As you're aware, it can be quite painful. After the first day's treatment, the pain subsided substantially. Thereafter, I have been treating it only as it flares up. The treatments are being applied less frequently. Thank you for a fine product.
Rating: Norris Kai Dear MendMeShop, I didn't know Frozen Shoulder existed until my doctor diagnosed it 3 months ago. Then I kept hearing about friends brothers, parents, and friends of friends etc who had it and I was surprised at how common it is. Most of these people were plagued with it for months and months.
I suffered for 1 month then ordered a wrap and ultrasound kit from your store. Once I started using them, I just kept getting better. After 3 weeks I thought my shoulder had more motion and less stiffness than it had had in many years. I'm better than ever now.
Thanks for a great product,
Jeff Rating: Jeff Smith Dear MendMeShop, In response to the woman who fell and injured her shoulders and then ended up with frozen shoulder. I am a Massage Therapist and have been practicing massage therapy for over 5 years and have been studying and practicing Trigger Point Therapy for 4 years. I ordered my Ultrasound equipment and started using it on myself just a little over 4 months ago. I found that my muscles were much softer and that I can get down to the deeper layers of muscles which, when massaging yourself, can be very difficult without causing trigger points, strain, to other muscles. I had done research on ultrasound therapy for trigger points and found that it has been considered to be a very useful tool in conjunction with Trigger Point Therapy. I then began using it on my clients (making sure I was fully aware of the contraindications of use) to assist with my Trigger Point work. My clients are very happy with the addition of this tool to my work. It is very relaxing for them. Then, when I start the trigger point work, my clients find it not nearly as uncomfortable as it is without the use of the ultrasound. From my perspective, as a Therapist, I find that I am now able to get to the deeper layers of muscles where additional trigger points hide. I'm able to work with less effort on my part. And, the most important part of the therapy, my clients are getting better faster with the use of the Ultrasound equipment. So, to the woman who is getting great results from her MendMe Ultrasound equipment, I'm happy that she has found this website and has been able to take control of her own personal health. However, I would also recommend she find a qualified Trigger Point Massage therapist. I am positive that, in conjunction with her continued use of the MendMe Ultrasound, the Trigger Point will enhance and expedite her recovery time. And that will also help her muscles recover and not be so willing to go back in to the same, contracted, state they were in before. Congratulations to her for taking the time and effort to participate in her own recovery. Rating: Helen Delger

Use Your Body's Natural Healing System
to Treat Your Rotator Cuff Injury!
How Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy (BFST®) Works
Your body can heal itself! In fact, your body started healing itself the moment you injured your rotator cuff and it's the blood in your body that makes it all happen.
Your blood is the transport mechanism for everything that is good inside you. It carries oxygen, nutrients, water and antibodies.
Proper blood flow to your shoulder is essential to healing. Unfortunately, when you injure your body, you stop moving and the swelling sets in. That means your vital blood flow can be reduced to a trickle!
It will seem weird for you to read this, but there are a LOT of people out there that do not understand how fast a Freezie Wrap® Shoulder Wrap can get the swelling / inflammation in your shoulder under control... fast! Only once the inflammation is reduced can a person start to deal with their actual injury and pain - and this is where the BFST® effect from a Shoulder Inferno Wrap® really starts to shine!
The MISSING Piece of the Puzzle....
where SO MANY get it WRONG!
Swelling and inflammation is your body responding to an injury. A lot of pain will probably disappear as the swelling disappears, and many people make the wrong assumption that their tendon, muscle or other soft tissue injury must be healing as most of the pain is gone. Once you have reduced the swelling with cold, your injury is still there.
This is a critical time! Once the inflammation is gone it may feel like you can return to your regular sports, hobbies, exercise or other activities - but your shoulder is in a weakened state, unstable, and still injured. Even the slightest movement in the wrong direction can worsen the injury and increase the swelling yet again. Most "weekend warriors" and amateur athletes will start going back to what they were doing before they injured their shoulder, and that is where they get it wrong - professional athletes know that the injury is still there and needs to be dealt with first!
BFST® - Accelerated Healing Power for Your Rotator Cuff
If you want to heal quickly, you need to keep your blood moving and that's where BFST®, comes in. What is BFST®? It's a substantial increase in the flow of blood to your injured rotator cuff without the need to exercise your already damaged joint. This is what the Inferno Wrap® does... you can really feel it work!
Have you seen what happens when you add water to a flower wilted from drought? In essence, an injured shoulder is much like a "wilted" flower; your body wants to heal its injury, but needs lots of nutrients to do it.
Blood brings new life to your cells by delivering healing nutrients and oxygen that are vital to your tissue. In addition, the blood carries away toxins and cellular waste cleaning the area and healing it faster. Without a good supply of blood, your rotator cuff simply won't heal properly.
In order to get maximum blood flow to your shoulder joint, you need to help your body stimulate blood flow. BFST® (blood flow stimulation therapy), is the fast, easy and pain-free way to increase blood flow and speed healing. It is the key to dealing with your rotator cuff injury properly.
Within moments of applying an Inferno Wrap® to your shoulder, you can feel the healing sensation and the increase in blood flow.
During a treatment, and for quite some time after you finish, your injured rotator cuff tendons, ligaments, bursae and muscles will experience increased blood flow even though your body is at rest. It's a soothing sensation and extremely effective.
With BFST® your injured rotator cuff joint is constantly being fed with healing, nutritious, oxygen and energy filled blood. This is exactly what your body needs to heal.
Inferno Wrap = The Perfect BFST® Delivery Tool How An Inferno Wrap® Works
An Inferno Wrap® is purely a BFST® workhorse! It is why we made them. They have been specifically designed for the treatment of deep, soft tissue injuries.
Inferno Wraps® contain a patented Energy Web® which is flexible and shaped to conform to your body. This Energy Web® emits a uniform wave of perfectly safe electro-magnetic energy over its entire surface. This energy travels deep inside your rotator cuff tissue and stimulates the blood flow needed to heal your injury. It is the electromagnetic energy that is crucial to the healing process.
The unit plugs into a wall outlet to get its power. It has a special signal controller which can be set for 3 different power levels of application (3=High, 2=Medium, 1=Low).
The cord is long so you can sit or lie comfortably and watch TV, read or surf the net while you are using it.
There is no sound or vibration or motion that comes from the unit. There are no creams or gels required, you simply wrap it snugly around your shoulder and turn it on. It is very easy to use.
Electromagnetic Energy = Increased Blood Flow = More Oxygen, More Nutrients and Less Toxins = Faster Healing A History of Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy
BFST® is a new advancement to an age old therapy. The promotion of blood flow to promote healing has been a standard medical therapy for over 100 years. For centuries, doctors, therapists and moms worldwide have used warmth as a means of increasing blood flow. Hot water bottles and their variations have been used to soothe sore joints and muscles forever.
The problem with applied heat (aka the 'frying pan' approach) is that it only works on the skin and doesn't penetrate deep into the underlying tissue where most of the injured tissue really is. A warm bath is a similar concept but it still relies on the hot water to heat your skin, and your skin to heat the fat below the skin, and the fat to heat the muscle tissue, and so on. It works to some extent, but there are much more effective options.
Among other things, ultrasound is a moderate blood flow stimulator. And unlike the hot compress approach which really just heats the surface, ultrasound penetrates below the skin to vibrate your inner tissue at the cellular level. More so, ultrasound's vibration technique is more effective as a clearing tool, reducing swelling (edema) and enabling circulation. Ultrasound stimulation is great for 'cleaning' the injured area below in the tissue, but ultimately you want to get that invaluable healing blood supply flowing through the area. That's what BFST® is all about.
 BFST® is all about promoting blood flow deep within your body tissue. You feel it right away. And unlike hot compresses, which are hot on your skin, the surface of your skin really just warms, and so does all the tissue below it, right down to the core. When you use Inferno Wraps® to give you BFST®, you feel the stimulation, the warmth, the increased blood flow deep within your injured shoulder joint and rotator cuff - and that's what you want. Inferno Wrap BFST® stimulates your entire shoulder, but don't let the name scare you. An Inferno Wrap is not hot to the touch. Even after 30 minutes of treatment your skin is warm, but not hot. In fact, Inferno Wraps® are very comfortable to wear and very soothing to use. Arthritis patients swear by the deep penetrating, soothing effectiveness of our patented Energy Web®.
Why is BFST® Deep Healing So Important?
Some heat therapies you may have tried such as heating pads, hot water bottles, moist towels, and warm baths only create a superficial heat near the surface of the skin. There are 2 reasons for this: - The layer of fat beneath the surface of the skin (subcutaneous layer) actually works as an insulator and reduces the amount of heat that can penetrate into your rotator cuff.
- Your body senses a temperature increase on your skin and increases blood flow in the skin layer to flush away the heat.
Basically, a heating pad or hot water pad gives you BFST®, but at the skin layer instead of where it is needed most - at the location of the injury!
Why does it matter how deep the heat goes?
It matters because to effectively increase blood flow where you need it, you need the heat effect to occur at the location of the damaged tissue.
To get the blood flow deep - where you need it, you need the electromagnetic power of the Shoulder Inferno Wrap®.
Inferno Wrap - The Secret to Accelerated Healing
Electromagnetic energy waves are not Heat Waves. When they are emitted from the Inferno Wrap® they penetrate right through your skin and fat layers until they get to your ligaments, muscles, and tendons. Once they reach this injured area, they are absorbed and quickly converted into heat energy... that's Heat - Right at the Location of the Injury.
Now, what happens then? Well, the BFST® effect happens, and it happens in the exact place you need it most! This is the only system that can provide the BFST® effect deep in the body where it is needed.
The Inferno Wrap® is the only flexible, therapeutic wrap that can significantly increase bloodflow at the source of your injury - period. It is patented technology you will find nowhere else!
Although you will experience a warming sensation as the treatment progresses, the electromagnetic energy waves penetrating into your rotator cuff are what give you the healing power.
With regular use of the Shoulder Inferno Wrap®:
- Your pain will be reduced.
- Your rotator cuff injury will heal at a highly accelerated rate.
- Your shoulder will have a larger range of motion.
Wrap the Inferno Wrap around your Rotator Cuff, plug it in and let the Energy Web do the work!
Now Living Without Constant Shoulder Pain!
I am a very active individual. If I am not running or lifting weights you can usually find me doing various outdoor and home improvement projects.
That is why when I recently started experiencing pain in my shoulder, upper arm and forearm I concluded that I had aggravated an old rotator cuff injury. Initially I ignored the discomfort, thinking that that would make it magically disappear but, to my disappointment the pain only continued to get worse.
After a couple of months of intense pain, I decided to do something for myself. I tried stretching exercises, massage, the heating pad and ibprofen but nothing seemed to be helping. That's when I went online and found the Mend Me Shop.
I remember that the Doctor that treated my first injury prescribed ultrasound treatments twice a week. The idea of doing those myself, at home, was very appealing and the Inferno Wrap for the shoulder seemed like a good way to wrap the heat around the immediate area that needed treating.
When I picked up the package from the post office I was anxious to get started. I was so pleased that after only three days of using the products, I was feeling relief. It's only been a little over a week since I started treatments and I can say that I can once again imagine living without the that constant pain.
Thanks so much for the relief!!!

Proprietary Technology For The Best Therapy Available!
We are constantly being asked, is it like a heating pad, is it like infra-red, is it like ultrasound, does it use a magnet? The truth is that our technology is proprietary and it stands alone to be what we believe is the most effective Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy™ product available.
It is the only product we know that has been developed specifically to heal soft tissue injury in this fashion. IT WORKS unbelievably well! You can be certain: There is nothing else like an Inferno Wrap®
While you are treating your injury with your Inferno Wrap®, the increase in blood flow will also wisk away inflammation. As it does, the elastic nature of the neoprene wrap gently compresses the area to prevent the inflammation from returning.
After you are done your treatment, you can leave your wrap on to help prevent the return of swelling. The cord easily disconnects right at the wrap so you can get up and move freely while still wearing it. Obviously, to get the blood flow stimulation therapy™, the unit needs to be connected and turned on, but after (or before) your treatment you can wear your wrap for gentle compression and a bit of support for the injured area which generally makes your shoulder feel better.
When you are using it, the Energy Web® stimulates all the tissue beneath it evenly. The parts of your body that are healthy will rapidly respond with increased blood flow and there will be little sensation in that area. A warming sensation will be sensed in areas that are injured because the injury and the inflammation can be restricting circulation.
The effects of the stimulating energy waves build up in that area and your body responds with increased blood flow. Over the course of an application you will actually notice a decrease in the sensation because your body is responding to the treatment - the blood is starting to flow.
As your body continues to heal from treatment to treatment you will also notice a decrease in the sensation because your body is healing and responding more efficiently to the stimulation. So, not only do you heal, but with every treatment you can feel the difference - you can tell your injury is getting better.
Inferno Wrap® - Comfortable, Effective and Easy To Use
Inferno Wraps® are very comfortable to wear. The shell is made of soft pliable neoprene with a soft plush surface. It is resilient, flexible and will not lose its shape over time. The inside has a breathable nylon lining. The edges are soft and sewn flush to not abraise your skin.
The energy web within is also flexible like cloth so the entire unit conforms to your body.
Inferno Wraps® are cut and sewn specifically to fit each part of the body so each one fits perfectly. They come with broad straps with velcro closures so they are very easy to put on and take off.
The cord is seven feet long so you have mobility during treatment. The cord can be unplugged right at the wrap so you can leave the wrap on as a compression support without having the cord dangling as you move about. It is so easy to plug and un-plug you can stop and start your treatments with ease. This wrap is comfortable enough to wear all day long.
The Inferno Wrap® is not affected by clothing. Wear it over or under - it is up to you.

Rotator Cuff Injury Facts:
The term "rotator cuff" refers to a group of four tendons that attach four shoulder muscles to the upper arm bone.
About 6 million people in the U.S. seek medical care each year for shoulder problems.
The shoulder joint has the widest range of motion of all joints in the body.
Ultrasound Therapy can speed rotator cuff injury recovery significantly.
Continual repetitive use of the injured rotator cuff will lead to a worse injury.
Although the rotator cuff can tear suddenly as a result of a serious injury, most rotator cuff problems develop over time.
Dear MendMeShop, After working for 22 years at a tree nursery, I developed rotator cuff problem in both shoulders because of the repetitious movement it takes to grade the seedlings on a table. Then I fell a couple of years ago, tearing the left rotator cuff.
I have tried things like ice, special exercises, and ibuprofen. The ice and ibuprofen numbed the pain for awhile, then I would get a flare-up every time I would try to do a little yard work, such as raking. Afterwards, I would be unable to raise my arm for several days at a time, each time getting worse. I worried all the time about surgery, but knew it was not an option because of lack of insurance.
One day, I had an idea to just type in rotator cuff into the Google search engine to see if I could find some new help. I just happened to come across the article about home ultrasound, and was happy to read that it could actually heal rotator cuff problems. This was back in March of this year. I wanted it then, but could not afford the price at the time. Just by coincidence, I checked the sight again a short time ago, and LO and Behold! It was on sale! Yes, I was going to get me one of those kits because I could afford it now! I was so thankful to get this deal. A prayer answered!
Well, I have been using it faithfully and have noticed a remarkable improvement in my shoulders. I can even sleep on my side now, without getting up in alot of pain. I also have arthritis in my hands, especially in the right trigger finger. This is being a little more stubborn, but is not as chronic as before. I have learned to use the ultrasound more on the soft part of my hand, rather than over the bone area, because absorption is better. Rating: Bonnie -
Dear MendMeShop, I am a 44 year-old woman in good health. I eat a fresh diet and take high-quality supplements, including MSM, glucosamine, Zyflamend, and all the usual joint-recomended supplements.
I injured both knees two years ago while kneeling to tile my family room and entry. Subsequently, a simple twisting squat ripped my left meniscus with a huge bucket tear that required surgery to trim so it wouldn't keep catching and re-tearing. I am not one to undergo surgery unless it is unavoidable, and even after a "simple" scope operation, it took me a full year to get full extension back on that knee, and I doubt I will ever be able to squat again.
I run a cleaning business. A couple of months ago an employee had forgotten to return equipment to my van, and I had to mop some hardwood flooring for a client on my hands and knees. That simple ten-minute job put me back out of commission. The kneeling pre-injured the area, and when I stepped back onto my good leg two days later, I felt that familiar burn of a fresh meniscus tear. I was heartsick, dreading another surgery and the attendant expense, pain, and down time. I know from my previous experience that cartilage is hard to heal because of the poor blood supply, especially to the center. I knew it was just a matter of time before I tore it further. (My dad had multiple knee scopes before finally getting a replacement, but I was not going down that path if I could help it!)
I got online and researched alternatives that would get me back on my feet. Delighted to discover Mend Me Shop and their professional athletic healing devices, I ordered the Inferno Wrap, Ice Wrap, and Ultrasound immediately. $400 would be a pittance relative to the $13,000 it costs to repair a torn meniscus (and that doesn't include rehab and lost income). During the week it took the package to arrive, I stayed off my feet as much as possible and iced the injured knee several times a day. My big hope was simply to avoid tearing the cartilage further before the stuff came. (With my surgery knee, I had re-torn it repeatedly before surgery.)
The minute that I put that Inferno wrap around my bad knee, I was in love! The penetrating warmth felt amazing. I kept it by my desk and strapped it on when I would sit and work at the computer. The ultrasound I believed in because of the help it gave me in therapy for a shoulder injury, and this US device worked just like the one used on me in therapy. Every time I used it before bed, I awoke feeling so good I had to remind myself I had an injury and to be careful. And I kept icing the knee. Within two weeks I was walking evenly on both legs, if gingerly lest I inadvertently twist or bounce. But I was definitely healing. I didn't miss any work after the first week, though I moved more slowly than usual and occasionally felt that piercing reminder of the tear. I had to lie down and elevate my knee every two hours to get through the day, but it was slowly healing. Four weeks later I was feeling so good, and the day was so sunny, that I went skipping off the front porch and was reminded I have a torn meniscus! And so it goes to this day, some six weeks later: the injury is there, but it is gradually improving. The more I use the therapy devices, the faster it improves. The more I get lazy and feel perfect and neglect them, the more I slow down. But I work a full schedule without breaks and only occasionally am reminded of the injury. By God's grace and with many thanks to Mend Me Shop, I have avoided surgery!
I have to say, too, how much the whole family has made use of the ultrasound unit. I have used it on my bad shoulder, wrists, my daughter's scapula -- whatever needs healing. It brings instant relief that lasts a good 24 hours. I love having in-home access to this equipment. It payed for itself in only three or four uses and will serve us well for years to come with our active lifestyles. A single ten-minute session with the physical therapist costs $180 ($50 out of pocket) -- and that is if she decides to treat that way and the doctor continues to prescribe treatment! I so prefer to take charge of my own health.
Gratefully yours,
Debbie Morgan Rating: Debbie Morgan
