Testimonials from Scotland

Just thought I would let you know that my mother has had fantastic results with the phiten products I sent. She has only used it since Friday evening and her very swollen fingers from the wrist break and dislocation have reduced in size significantly allowing her to get good movement, plus the bruising already has started to fade. She has also noticed great improvement in the pain she was experiencing - so she is absolutely thrilled with the products.. Hopefully it will expedite the healing of the break - as of Friday there were no signs of this happening when it was re-x-rayed.

I have just completed the Rotorua marathon and been suffering from pain under my metatarsal heads. Probably the most consistent comment I’ve had regarding the race was not to try anything new, but finding one of your patches in my goody bag I figured I’d give it a try without reading any of the information pack – usually I think I would have been fairly dubious if I had. Normally by five km I have significant foot pain, but sitting here typing, it is perhaps the only part of me that doesn’t hurt – having tried so many things without success I’d be doubtful about any placebo response being involved. What chance a Phiten sock down the line?

I found the sample patches in the goodie bag prior to the Rotorua marathon so I put one on each calf. Five and a half hours later I was having a post-race massage. The masseur commented on how soft the calves were as most folks ones are quite hard and tense. I put it all down to your great patches. Since then I have ordered some of the patches. I know they helped in the recovery of my shoulder function after a scary experience going "Superman" down a long hydro-Slide but that’s another story!! It is something that grandmas need to be wary about.

I was a runner of 20 years experience until I had considerable knee damage and after 2 operations to repair damaged cartilage was told my running days are probably over and one day I will need a new knee. I have since taken up walking, but still get a lot of knee pain.

I entered in the City of Christchurch 18 kilometre walk at Queens Birthday weekend, I put on 2 patches on my sore knee and completed the walk with no pain what so ever, in fact my knee is the best its been in 4 years.

The patches are fantastic.

I have recently used the Phiten patches in 3 demanding MTB events: The Karapoti Challenge, the Maungatapu (Pelorus-Nelson via Maugatapu saddle) and the Rainbow Rage. For the Karapoti and Maungatapu, this was the first time I had competed in these events, so I had nothing to measure my performance against. However, the fact that I was able to complete both races without succumbing to cramp (which has been an issue for me) encouraged me to use the Phiten patches during the Rainbow Rage.

This was the true test for me as I have competed 4 times previously, and on three occasions have suffered from serious cramp during the final 30kms or so. This has caused me to loose considerable time and placings. This year, with the help of the patches, I was able to bike the whole thing without having to stop as a result of cramp. This helped me to achieve a personal best for both time and placing.

I definitely recommend the patches for anyone who suffers cramp during sporting events.

I have had considerable pain and discomfort from a neck injury sustained some years ago. For the past few months I have been using Phiten patches and am able to turn my head with ease and have noticed a marked improvement in the pain levels. The muscle tightness and inflammation are so much better. I can definitely recommend the product.

I bought the bracelet at your stall on the Wellington "Around The Bays" day.

I had a very sore wrist which was the reason I bought the bracelets. I could not hold a 1.7 litre kettle without my wrist collapsing from the pain. I only wore the bracelet for the week end as I lent it to my colleague who had an allergic rash on her upper arm due to the change of her washing powder. My friend said that the rash was very itchy but as soon as she wore the bracelet the itch was gone and when she took the bracelet off the itch came back. The rash has now cleared.

Although I only wore the bracelet one week end, my wrist has not hurt since and for some unknown reason my left wrist does not hurt anymore either.

I am in the process of buying the long compression pants and a T-shirt.

I just wanted to let you know about another great experience with the cycling pants I bought at the same time as the bracelet. Last Friday I had a sleepless night because of a hurt muscle in my lower back. On Saturday morning we went on a hike to the "Pinnacles" in the Wairarapa and I wore the pants, mainly to see if the pain would go. I have not taken any painkillers and to this day I am free of pain.

To day I bought the Polo shirt, the necklace and a pair of insoles from the Silverstream Golf shop and I have taken about 20 of your business cards to give to people. I think your product should be advertised on TV as it is a Godsend to people with a body that doesn't function properly.

Hi there

I have been using the Power Tape patches this year after seeing them at a sports expo in Auckland. I play football and although reasonably fit, I've had problems with my ham strings over the years and was not sure if they would last this year. I am happy to say that I have had no injuries so far this year and after training sessions or games I feel no soreness or pain the next day. Something to note is we have also been promoted to a higher division this year and at 37 I am 10-20 years older than alot of my team and I have not missed one game. I have mentioned this to a number of the older guys in the club and they are keen to give them a go aswell.

Thanks very much
