Been a life changer for me.

After 10 years of pt, ortho doc appointments, steroid injections, massage, electric stim, hanging upside down and then surgery, more pt, more injections etc... the “muscle heads” at the gym had it right. Think of all the money my insurance company spent over all those years. Now my grip strength has gone through the roof, i feel like I can kick anyone’s ass if I needed to and, he’ll, even sex is better.

Old fashion real strength training did it for me. Not that plush wimpy physical therapy, electro stim, massage crap. And I had the best money could buy. Now $30 a month and I make my own testosterone.

You are right. Helped me , too. Forget the IB Profin. Also, got rid of shoulder pain doin lots of back exercises like seated rows.
