Dear MendMeShop, I had tendonitis on my right arm that kept me from doing simple task,even lifting a single plate is painful. I have no idea why I have this, perhaps I overused my right arm or related to my rotator cuff injury two years ago. I have taken so many pain medications (motrin, celebrex, etc.) but the pain kept coming back. I went to the doctor and had cortisone shots and I was pain free for three months. One day I was mopping the floor and I heard my elbow popped and the pain started again. I didn't want another cortisone shot because the shot itself was really painful. Then I remember when I used to go for physical therapy on my right shoulder injury (rotator cuff) and this ultrasound device was used on me several times two years ago. I remember feeling so relieved after every session and I wonder whether I could have one for myself. I started looking for this device on the internet and found MendMeShop.com. At first I was hesitant to buy it because it was expensive then my arm got worse and I checked back on your website and found it on sale.
After two weeks of using it, my arm has improved a lot. I can do my normal tasks again without feeling so much pain. I own a small Asian grocery store and my customers have noticed that I don't wrap my right arm anymore and I tell them about this device and how it had helped me a lot. I recommend it to my friends, family and customers. Rating:  Carina Madrinan
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, 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 have adhesive capsulitus and supraspinata calcification.
I was advised by the specialist to rest the joint and let it heal itself with little to no recommendation re exercise (say 6/12/18 months!!!).
After seeing an osteopath and researching the internet I saw your site re ultrasound and asked my physio his opinion. He loaned me a commercial unit and after three days treatment (three times per day) with exercise in the shower my inflammation was reduced and range of movement radically increased. Hence the order from Mendmeshop and I have used the Ultrasound unit since receipt. I am now back at golf with no pain from the golf swing and virtually full range of motion of the arm.
Have also used to radically reduce soft tissue soreness around the ankle bone and knee hence I am very pleased with the Mendmeshop Ultrasound unit and the service provided by Mendmeshop prior to purchase.
I bought two and I am taking the second unit across the country for my sons Xmas present as he has used Ultrasound to help with back problems. Rating: Paul Lea Dear MendMeShop, I injured by rotator cuff initially in an ice hockey game. It was re-injured during a lacrosse game two weeks later. The pain was constant. I had trouble sleeping and most mornings would wake up with shoulder pain.
I tried just ice/heat treatments, rest, and a shoulder brace but it did not seem to be getting better or at least not quickly. My Mom checked on different treatments with the athletic trainer at her school and on the internet. Ultra-sound had been mentioned and she found the MendMeShop site.
We ordered the unit and it arrived in just under one week (which included Thanksgiving) and started using it right away. The pain decreased quickly. I was able to participate in December in a competitive lacrosse camp with very little pain. I continued treatments and am pretty much pain free.
I do use the unit after hockey and lacrosse as needed when my shoulder bothers me. The treatment usually eliminates the pain.
I would recommend this unit to anyone who wants to be pain free and heal quickly after a soft tissue injury. Rating: J Whalen

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, Thank you for your professionalism I also appreciate your knowledge of your product and the links to the other sites.
As far as the efficiency of your product, I agree that yours has the best rating.
In fact, I am a physical therapist, and was really looking to purchase a unit that has continuous/thermal effects for home, but was unable to find one at a decent price. Even used!
I do like the three settings on your product. I purchased it for my fiancee who has tightness in his rhomboids especially, but low back pain as well as traps. He has responded well to US in the past and has an interferential unit and TENS unit as well. He has been for PT, Chiropractic and massage therapy. So I was very happy when he reported relief from your product even after the first treatment!
I myself, have SI joint dysfunction, tight upper traps, as well as wrist pain due to torn ligaments. The unit is not quite as effective on me...I do better with Continuous. But, it does loosen my low back up enough prior to stretching, as well as my traps prior to massage and stim. More recently, I am trying to see the effectiveness on my wrists as the torn ligaments are a result of overuse as a PT for many years.
I am trying to avoid surgery as most of them aren't very successful for this type of injury. I will have to have surgery if the pain gets intractable or if arthritis sets in. At this point I am hoping the US, PT, paraffin, splinting, rest, and some other alternative treatments will buy me some time.
Anyway, thanks again for your professionalism and I will recommend the unit to other therapists who may do home health, or for personal use. You are welcome to use any of my comments as a testimonial if you like.

Dear MendMeShop, This is Rob Long Melissa's husband. I wanted to write another review and rave about the Inferno Wrap. I recieved both the cold and hot wraps last week. After using the wraps about 6 times now i can already tell a big diffrence with the soreness. You guys are the best!!!
I also last year purchased the hot wrap & cold wrap for my planter injury this injury has healed 100%!!! Rating: MELISSA LONG
Dear MendMeShop, I purchased an ultrasound unit 5 months ago for a sacral injury sustained in a fall in Jan 2010.
After costly MRIs, injections, and oral steroids, I would only get temporary relief. The only thing that seemed to help was ultrasound at physical therapy 1-2 times a week. It was hard to keep PT appts with my busy work schedule.
I "googled" sacral injury, and the MendMeShop ad appeared. I knew the unit would pay for itself in a short period of time when compared to expensive PT therapy. If the "3 times a day" is hindering anyone from buying it, do not worry.....Even if used once a day, you will feel improvement. I can now sit for long periods of time with little discomfort.
I am also an avid gardener and strained my elbows last fall. I would wake up several times at night with numb arms. I used the directions for tennis elbow and rotator cuff symptoms, and can now get a good night's sleep. AND, this is just with one treatment at bedtime.
Thanks again MendMe Shop!!
