Radiological
technicians at the Sutter Memorial Hospital Cancer Center move
patients from wheel chairs on to the x-ray tables. Often moving
patients much larger than themselves, they are concerned about
hurting their backs. Most were amazed to find that the e3
fitness grip could save their backs. The job of
moving a patient is now incredibly easier and safer.
Stephen Tamaribuchi, BioGrip, Inc.
President and inventor of the e3
fitness grip, was retained by Radiological
Associates to train their technicians to move patients without
hurting themselves or their patients. Radiological Associates
operated the radiation treatment facilities for Sutter Memorial
Hospital, Mercy Hospital, and 15 radiological clinics in the
Sacramento area. They purchased 80 pairs of e3
fitness grips for use with patients at all of the
x-ray facilities in the Sacramento area.
The e3
fitness grip has very broad application for
practically all activities and sports. The August 1999 issue of Runner’s
World has an article on the e3 grip titled, "Orthotics
for Your Hands." The article note, "They can help
correct biomechanical problems and make you a more efficient
runner." Actually, the e3
fitness grip is a "total body orthotic"
that allows the body to move as a coordinated and balanced unit.
It affects how you use all of your muscles, improving your
strength and control and reduces risk of injuries.
Many users have reported that use
of the grips has eliminated long-term knee, hip, and back pain.
John Kays, a jogger and backpacker for over thirty years, reported
that he was on the verge of giving up jogging because of knee
pain. With the e3 fitness
grip he has eliminated the pain from jogging and
back packing trips. Tony Lekas, an arthritis sufferer, could no
longer walk around the lake for exercise. Now he can. These are
two of many.
Stephen Tamaribuchi hopes to get
the e3 fitness grip
into the hands of every medical facility and people who want to
improve their performance in sports or just simply walking. For
