Therion Recent Awards

Therion was honored with 6 Gear Awards in 2009 New York (May 2009)

For the second year in a row, Therion has been honored for their hard work and innovation, providing some of the most comfortable and effective magnetic therapy products in the United States.

Entering the 2009 GearAwards™ - the sports, fitness and health industry's yearly product competition - Therion's Platinum Magnetic Tennis Elbow Support and Platinum Magnetic Knee Brace were both awarded Silver Medals in the highly competitive Therapeutic Category.

Therion's Platinum Magnetic Ankle Support, Magnetic Wrist Band and Cera-Flex Insoles, were also praised, each receiving an official "Seal of Excellence" from the GearAwards judging panel.

By far, the most exciting accomplishment was Therion repeating their immense success in the Back Health Category. This year, the Platinum Magnetic Back Pad was awarded the “Top Gear of the Year Award” Gold Medal. It's a win that speaks volumes after Therion's Platinum Magnetic Back Support received the same first place honor in the 2008 awards.

After two years and two consecutive first place wins in the Back Health Category, it seems Therion has found their niche, establishing themselves as a leader in back pain relief and prevention.

Affecting 1-in-4 Americans, back pain continues to be an often overlooked, yet difficult to treat health issue. In recent years, consumers have grown wary of prescription and over-the-counter medications, and the choices of alternative health products and practices are overwhelming.

The Platinum Magnetic Back Pad is a quick and easy-to-use method to relieve and prevent lower back pain. In seconds, the 6"x8" pad can be slipped into the waistband of a pair of pants, or kept in place using one of Therion s breathable, elastic comfort wraps.

Lightweight and compact, the Platinum Back Pad targets lower back muscles and the lumbar spine with a concentrated biomagnetic field. This not only relieves pain, but also helps to prevent injury.

Studies continue to point to magnetic fields affecting blood circulation. They do this by causing capillary blood vessels to relax or dilate. This increases or decreases blood flow, depending on what response the body needs. Decreasing blood flow reduces swelling from injuries, similar to ice packs. Increasing blood flow speeds up healing by delivering oxygen and nutrients to cells more efficiently.

Since 1991, Therion has been researching what types and configurations of magnets have the greatest effects on the body, and the best chances of successful pain relief.

One of the major results of their continuous efforts is the Platinum™ line of magnetic braces, supports and pads. These unique products join Therion's Advanced Biomagnetics® with the latest therapeutic materials, enhancing both comfort and pain relief.

Most notably, this year's award has proven once again, that Therion may just have the answer over 91 million people have been searching for: back pain relief that works.
