Therion Wins 2nd Award for Back Pain Relief

New York (May 2009) - For the second year in a row, Therion has been honored for their hard work and innovation, providing some of the most effective magnetic therapy products in the United States.

Entering the 2009 Gear Awards™ - the sports, fitness and health industry's yearly product competition - Therion's Platinum MTR Magnetic Tennis Elbow Support and Magnetic Knee Brace were both awarded silver medals in the highly competitive Therapeutic Category.

By far, the most exciting accomplishment was Therion repeating their immense success in the Back Health category. This year, the Platinum Magnetic Back Pad was awarded the Top Gear of the Year. It's a win that speaks volumes after Therion's Platinum Magnetic Back Support received the same honor in the 2008 competition.

After two consecutive Top Gear awards for Best Back Health, Therion has established themselves as a leader in back pain relief and comfort.

Affecting 1-in-4 Americans, back pain continues to be an often overlooked, yet difficult-to-treat health issue. In recent years, consumers have grown wary of prescription and over-the-counter medications, and the choices of alternative health products and practices are overwhelming.

The Platinum Magnetic Back Pad is a quick and easy-to-use method to relieve and prevent lower back pain. In seconds, the 6" x 8" pad can be slipped into the waistband of a pair of pants, or kept in place using one of Therion’s breathable, elastic comfort wraps. Lightweight and compact, the Platinum Back Pad targets lower back muscles and the lumbar spine with a concentrated biomagnetic field. This not only helps to relieve pain, but also helps to prevent injury.

Studies continue to point to magnetic fields affecting blood circulation. They do this by aiding the dilation and constriction of capillaries - the tiniest blood vessels that run throughout the human body. Using magnetic therapy helps the body optimize blood flow to reduce inflammation near injuries faster, providing pain relief without any side effects. Improved blood flow also enables oxygen and nutrients to be transported faster, speeding up healing time and improving flexibility.

Since 1991, Therion has been researching what types and configurations of magnets have the greatest effects on the body, and the best chances of success. One of the major results of their continuous efforts is the Platinum line of magnetic braces, supports and body pads. Platinum combines the most powerful biomagnetics used today with the latest therapeutic materials to enhance long-term comfort.

Therion has once again proven they may just have the answer that over 91 million people have been searching for: Back pain relief.
