ThermoStretch™ massage chairs feature heat and stretch through a dual lumbar heat system and a full-body stretch program. Dual lumbar heat gently warms the lower back muscles, reducing tightness and pain, preparing the muscles for a deep restorative massage. The full-body stretch mode stretches the spine with a slow and gentle recline, increasing blood flow to the vertebrae and disks, effectively rejuvenating the lower back.

In addition, the ThermoStretch™ HT-275 massage chair (http://www. humantouch. com/ht-275.html? utm_campaign=pressrelease_ht275&utm_source=usiq&utm_medium=prweb&utm_nooverride=0) contains Human Touch's WholeBody™ massage technology that delivers a remarkably life-like "figure eight" massage closely replicating the therapeutic techniques used by back and spine care professionals, making it the preferred technology of the American College of Chiropractic Orthopedists. ThermoStretch™ massage chairs incorporate four massage techniques used by massage therapists and deliver a therapeutic massage in just 15 minutes per day invigorating and refreshing the body from the neck to the feet.

"We are pleased to announce the Human Touch ThermoStretch™ massage chair line and in particular, the new HT-275 massage chair, a chair that incorporates top-of-the-line features and technologies that provide our consumers with high quality, therapeutic massage, relaxation and rejuvenation," says Andrew Corkill, director of product marketing, Human Touch. "With the addition of this line, Human Touch continues to carry on in its mission to provide high quality innovative lifestyle products and experiences that deliver indispensable, life changing benefits to an ever growing number of consumers."

Users can select from four pre-programmed massage functions - Sore-Muscle Relief, Stress Therapy, Back Wellness and Full Body Stretch - to address specific needs, or customize their massage to relieve specific areas of stress, tension or pain. The patented foot and calf massage is available exclusively from human touch and simulates the "squeeze-and-release" techniques used by expert massage therapists. It also features adjustable width control for a customized fit. The ThermoStretch™ HT-275 massage chair (http://www. humantouch. com/ht-275.html? utm_campaign=pressrelease_ht275&utm_source=usiq&utm_medium=prweb&utm_nooverride=0) offers luxurious bonded leather that serves as a great addition to any decor.

CyberDefender CEO Gary Guseinov Supports Thirteenth Annual Race to Erase Multiple Sclerosis

CyberDefender CEO Gary Guseinov Supports Thirteenth Annual Race to Erase Multiple Sclerosis

CyberDefender(tm) Corporation, the security developer with the industry’s most advanced early defense technology today announced that its Chief executive Officer Gary Guseinov attended the Thirteenth Annual Race to Erase MS entitled Disco Fever to Erase MS benefiting The Nancy Davis Foundation for Multiple Sclerosis on May 12th, 2006 at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza. The Gala evening featured a dazzling live and silent auction, gourmet dinner, and live performances by Kool & The Gang, Sister Sledge and Natalie Cole, among others.

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA (PRWEB) May 24, 2006

CyberDefender(tm) Corporation, the security developer with the industry’s most advanced early defense technology today announced that its Chief executive Officer Gary Guseinov attended the Thirteenth Annual Race to Erase MS entitled Disco Fever to Erase MS benefiting The Nancy Davis Foundation for Multiple Sclerosis on May 12th, 2006 at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza. The gala evening featured a dazzling live and silent auction, gourmet dinner, and live performances by Kool & The Gang, Sister Sledge and Natalie Cole, among others.

Co-Chairs Nancy Davis and Tommy Hilfiger welcomed celebrity friends and supporters to the gala. The evening benefited The Nancy Davis Foundation for Multiple Sclerosis and was sponsored by Tommy Hilfiger Corporation, American Airlines, Serono and Hyatt Regency Century Plaza.

"I believe it is very important to stand behind such social causes as it allows us as human beings to understand the pain others may be experiencing, and to help find a solution for people who may not have the means," said Guseinov.

Tom Arnold, Tony Danza, and Bill Maher returned as celebrity auctioneers at exciting live auction which featured an extraordinary list of unique luxury and entertainment items including a dance lesson with "Dancing with the Stars" champion Drew Lachey and his partner Cheryl Burke, a Yorkie puppy to take home and the chance to attend and cover an event with Tom Arnold for his hit show "Best Damn Sports Show Period" among other items to be announced.

The event was highlighted by an exclusive celebrity fashion show featuring one-of-a-kind disco inspired designs by Tommy Hilfiger. The event was produced by Suzanne de Passe, with David Foster as the musical director. Last year's event raised $2.7 million for The Nancy Davis Foundation for Multiple Sclerosis, which was founded by Davis in 1993.

This year Nancy Davis will also further her mission to eradicate MS, spread awareness and help others battling their diagnosis with the release of her first book LEAN ON ME: 10 Powerful Steps to Moving Beyond Your Diagnosis and Taking Back Your Life (Fireside/Simon & Schuster, Inc; April 2006). The book is a powerful tool to help guide anyone who has been given a life threatening diagnosis to making good choices, finding the right healthcare and taking back their life. It is not just the story of Nancy’s personal diagnosis, but a "how to" guide where she imparts her hard earned wisdom to others to help them face their disease and move on with their life. All guests of the Race to Erase MS received a copy of the book.

A seasoned marketing veteran in the software industry, Guseinov co-founded the company known today as CyberDefender Corporation with Chief Information Officer Igor Barash in 2003 when they began publishing a series of software utilities. In early 2005, the team acquired its own proprietary technology with the purchase of CyberDefender.

The Nancy Davis Foundation for Multiple Sclerosis is dedicated to the treatment and ultimate cure for MS. Funding research is the core focus of the Foundation and significant strides have been made to find the cause and cure of this devastating disease. All funds raised through The Race to Erase MS event support "The Nancy Davis Center Without Walls" program, a selected network of the nation’s top seven MS research centers representing UC San Francisco, Brigham & Women’s Harvard Hospital, Yale, The Cleveland Clinic, Oregon Health Science University, Johns Hopkins and University of Southern California. This nationwide collaboration of physicians, scientists and clinicians are on the cutting-edge of innovative research programs and therapeutic approaches to eradicate MS. It is the hope of the Foundation that in addition to combating MS through research in a clinical environment, an increased awareness will be created by educating the public about this mystifying disease.

The New Generation of Chiropractic Patient Education

The New Generation of Chiropractic Patient Education

This release announces ILLUM INNATE. A new and innovative teaching device designed to educate chiropractic patients on the principals of spinal nerve function.

Covina, CA (PRWEB) June 15, 2006

This release announces ILLUM INNATE. A new and innovative teaching device designed to educate chiropractic patients on the principals of spinal nerve function.

Never before has chiropractic patient education been so simple. Imagine, a full size demonstration spine with nerves that actually light up to visually demonstrate nerve flow activity! ILLUM INNATE was designed by a chiropractor for chiropractors to be visually stunning and captivating with the ability to demonstrate an array of nervous system function.

Created to significantly increase patient comprehension, this unique device employs sophisticated electro-illumination circuitry to make patient education easy to understand while having more fun in the process. Typically, educating chiropractic patients about the process of nerve irritation, misalignments, or vertebral subluxations simply lack the impact, excitement, or lasting impression to be effective. Relying on spoken words, static models, or charts to educate chiropractic patients will seldom make a big enough impact. Much like an electrician, a Chiropractors focus is in the integrity of the nerve impulses and the restoration of normal nerve flow; allowing for the innate expression of good Health. The best doctors make their lessons relevant to their patients by involving as many of the five senses as possible. Undoubtedly, ILLUM INNATE will capture the creativity and imagination of anyone who sees it.

“It’s exciting to see a patient’s eyes light up as they grasp the concept of spinal nerve activity aided by ILLUM INNATE'S stunning light show.” Says creator Olman Mata D. C. “Once they understand the big idea they will keep coming back, and in turn, tell others about you and your impressive teaching device.” ILLUM INNATE stands over 2 feet tall and loaded with 144 individual embedded LED lights with 7 different animated illumination patterns. Each unit is individually hand built and is ready to use out of the box with the included batteries and power adaptor.

Educate with ILLUM INNATE

-- Patient consultations

-- New patient exams

-- Report of findings

-- Care classes

-- Health lectures

-- Spinal screenings

-- Reception or waiting rooms
