Richelli's PainReliever

Characteristics:

• Multifunctional tool par excellence. It allows the application of any type of manual therapy technique in combination with the hands.
• It allows you to put more pressure on the points without damaging your joints.
• It is the solution for physiotherapists who want to take care of their hands and joints, being able to exert more pressure with less effort.
• Made of polyethylene 500, a plastic used in orthopedic implants.
• Highly resistant to friction and shock material. It does not absorb creams or other products which makes it easily washable.
• It glides easily with a minimum of lubricant (cream, oil, etc.), this allows a saving in material. You can even work with the patient clothed.
• His touch is confused with that of the therapist's hand
• It is very anatomical. No matter where you take it, it always feels good in the hand. Its exclusive design allows it to be used for any technique. The most common:

1- Friction

2- Pressure

3- Percussion

4- Traction

5- Decoaptation

6- Kneading

7- Increase in tissue elasticity (scars)

8- Drainage

How is this versatility achieved?

• Its design consists of two distinct extremes. Both are perpendicular to the handle that joins them.

The smaller end:

• It has two bumps of different size and curvature. Both being convex allow, in contact with the hand in a concave shape, to form a joint that allows guidance and movement in 360º.
• As we vary the inclination of the handle from the other end, we manage to vary the contact surface since its curvature is not constant. Thus we can vary the pressure and direction without changing the force and posture that we apply. We can also be more precise in the contact or opt for a broader one.

The bigger end:

• Here the star is the hook. It can be compared to a Stilson wrench that as it is turned on a tube it grips more and more. On the patient, it allows to fix muscles so that they do not escape, to stretch them, compress them, decoap them.
• The hook also allows us to access hidden anatomical regions such as the anterior part of the Achilles tendon, diaphragm, subscapularis, among others.

The rest of the RPR:

• There are no edges, allowing any inclination of all surfaces.
• The outermost part of both ends serve for large contact surfaces as well as the entire handle ideal for kneading large muscles.

Conclusion:

The RPR is therefore the essential tool for all manual therapists who want to:

• Preserve your hands from injury
• Being able to apply aggressive techniques such as cyriax and triger points in a repetitive way.
• Be more effective in the treatment by being able to apply more techniques without getting tired, something that is discarded when the hands begin to load.
• By applying more techniques, the patient's recovery is shortened and translates into professional success.
