The
e3 grip (demonstrated at the California Physical Therapists
Association Annual Meeting, October 2-5, 1998) is changing our
understanding of how to improve body movement.
Immediate Results
Physical therapists all over the country are showing patients
how to use the e3 grip to help them walk, get out of chairs,
restore body movement, and to reduce joint and back problems. Rick
Reitgraf, Senior Physical Therapist, Sutter Senior Care Center,
Sacramento, CA, has been working with patients to
improve their mobility. Rick reported, "The e3 grip
immediately improved patients' walking speed and confidence. The
improvement was clearly visible for every patient."
Improved Balance, Reduced Pain & Stress
Coaches, trainers, physical therapists, and doctors have long
encouraged efficient body movement to maximize performance and
minimize risk of sudden or repetitive stress injury. Inefficient
jogging form is often revealed by the pounding, slapping and
shuffling sound of joggers as they pass by. The e3 grip
dramatically improves a jogger's balance by producing an efficient
running form, eliminating unnecessary pain and stress on the
joints and back.
Experts Pronounce e3 a Major Breakthrough
Dean Brittenham, Director, Shiley
Elite Athletic Excellence Health Resource Center at Scripps Clinic
in La Jolla, California, stated, "I saw immediate
and dramatic improvements in the running form and agility in the
athletes using the e3 grips. I believe the e3 grips are a major
breakthrough in improving athletic performance." Beth
Alford-Sullivan, Women's Coordinator of Cross Country Track and
Field, Stanford University, noted after a demonstration
that the runners using the grips, "showed immediate
improvement in each athlete's running form and stride." Peter
Maher, 1988 and 1992 Olympic Marathoner, said that,
"After using the e3 regularly, I have developed a far more
relaxed and injury-free running form." Peter also indicated
that the soreness he was experiencing in his hips disappeared.
The Physics of Body Movement
The e3 grip is the product of over 20 years of research. Stephen
Tamaribuchi, inventor of the e3 grip and President of
BioGrip, Inc. has taken the science of human biomechanics to a new
level. Stephen has helped both athletes and non-athletes to
improve how they use their muscles to perform various activities
from typing to sprinting. He found that the hand, fingers, and
thumb as positioned by the e3, dramatically improves balance and
posture throughout the entire body,
resulting in increased agility, speed, and strength, and reduced
stress on joints and risk of injury. Continued use of the e3 grip
enables the body to retrain its muscles to ensure proper hand
positioning and posture.
Effective for All Ages & Stages
Stephen stated, "My hope is that the e3 grip will allow
people of all ages and physical condition to perform better in
sports and daily activities. I particularly want to help people
who are suffering from joint, balance, and mobility problems. I
believe the e3 can significantly improve their quality of
life."
