My son, Jordan Waxman (he’s the one who swam the English Channel twice, and does Ironmans, is 48.Just today, he ran a half-marathon and WON!. He attributes his improved performance to a one-time use of e3grips. You see, he came to Montreal from N.J. on Friday for business. For his 1 1/2 hour run before dinner, I offered to have him try the grips, and now he’s sold!
Stephen, this means that, if Jordan buys, so will all the runners he knows!-Best regards, Dorothy

Congratulations to the University of Alabama’s women’s gymnastics team and their strength coach Travis Illian on winning back to back national championships. Coincidentally, they have been training with the e3 grips for two years now.

A few weeks ago my 90 yr old mother had an MRI. I stayed with her the entire time. At the end, when she sat up slowly, she experienced severe vertigo. Her arms flailed frantically in the air as if plummeting through space. I grabbed on to her to create steadiness but to no avail. The technician immediately gave her a device made by Biogrip to hold close to her chest. Within 6 seconds the vertigo was gone. This was a great relief to everyone.

My mother has had vertigo for years. The severe episodes last for several hours,the less severe episodes for several days. When I witnessed how this Biogrip device made the vertigo disappear, I was astounded. Not surprisingly I decided to purchase it for my mother.

When I bought the device from Biogrip, the owner took the time to give personal instruction on how to correctly use the Biogrip device and also the Biogrips for the hands. I was impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. The service I received was outstanding.

The Biogrips for the hands are helpful for many things besides vertigo. I personally had a persistent foot pain that disappeared with the correct usage of the Biogrips, for which I am very thankful.

I recommend these products: they are based on biomechanical principles and they do work.

While many of us ate our fill of turkey and mash potatoes this Thanksgiving, former All-American at Stanford, member of 2000 Olympic team, national indoor champion in the 800 and 2x silver medalist at the PanAmerican Games in the 1500 Michael Stember raced in the 18th Run to Feed the Hungry in Sacramento. “I started working with Michael when he was having knee problems in high school. He ended up winning the mile at Golden West Meet against the best high school runners in the country in his junior and senior years” says Stephen Tamaribuchi creator of the e3 Fitness Grip. We are proud to be able to work with such top level athletes like Stember who truly compete from the heart.

Happy holidays everyone.

Power lifters and gym fanatics find the stabilizing effects of the e3 Fitness Grips improving their maximum lifts. Medical professionals also use them to assist with moving patients. e3 Grip was named one of the top ten products of the Men’s Journal in 2000.

Who Is the Man Who Invented the e3 fitness grip?

Stephen Tamaribuchi, while in college, sustained four severe injuries affecting his neck and upper and lower back. The pain was constant and pills offered only temporary relief. Nothing in Western medicine seemed to help. Then he remembered how his martial arts teacher used an ancient acupressure technique, known as Shiatsu, for some of the students’ injuries. Consequently, Tamaribuchi sought the best Shiatsu (acupressure) experts he could find. He became their student and studied with them for several years.

His pain disappeared finally after modifying the way he used his body, and he realized that chronic pain is almost always related to poor biomechanics and posture.
On the advice of his teachers, Tamaribuchi went on to advanced studies and became a Shiatsu acupressure specialist himself. For twenty years now he has treated many of the world’s great sports figures, including tennis champion Rod Laver, the late Rudolf Nureyev, and Dave Scott, triathlete and six times winner of Hawaii Ironman triathalon.

Wanting to help his patients and the athletes he treated, Tamaribuchi developed the e3 fitness grip. It can be held in any position, whether sitting, walking, or running. The improved body mechanics immediately puts the body into balance. Poor mechanics acts like dominos, creating instability starting from the thumb to the wrist, arm, shoulder, back and the rest of the body. By stabilizing the initial aspects, we can improve how the body performs.

Tamaribuchi states, “My hope is that the e3 fitness grip will allow people of all ages and physical conditions to perform better in daily activities and sports. I particularly want to help older people who are suffering from joint, balance, and mobility problems. I believe the e3 fitness grip can significantly improve their quality of life.”

We have a small number of signed copies of Roy Wallack’s book “Run For Life” available for purchase.

Want to run fast and injury-free for the next 50 years? In Run for Life, the co-author of Barefoot Running Step by Step lays out a comprehensive plan designed to help you do just that. L.A. Times fitness columnist and endurance athlete Roy M. Wallack says new muscle- and joint-preserving techniques and technologies put life-long running within everyone’s reach. “Yes, you can run to 100,” he says. “And not merely live to 100 and shuffle along when you get there, but do what few, if any, have ever done: Actually run a 5k, 10k, or even a marathon on your 100th birthday.” Traveling the running world from Kenya to Tahiti and Boston to Badwater in search of super-fit running longevity, Wallack talks to top coaches, athletes, and researchers and synthesizes new running methods, products, and fitness regimens into a life plan for runners he summarizes as: * Run Soft * Run Less * Run Stronger * Run Flexible * Run Straighter * Run Faster.

The e3 Grips works on the basic principle of stabilizing the shoulders, back, and hips. Click here for a demonstration of the benefits of the e3.

You’ve heard of orthotics for the feet right? They can help biomechanical problems and make you a more efficient runner. But are you ready for hand orthotics?

A new product called the e3 Fitness Grip claims to improve your running form by correcting alignment problems

in your arms and shoulders, thereby smoothing out lower body movements as well. The result: You run faster and easier, with less chance of injury.

Skeptical? So was I, until I tried holding the grips while running on the road, trail, and treadmill. My hands felt comfortable, with my thumbs on top of each Grip, and, sure enough, I carried my arms straighter, rather than swinging them in front of my chest. The effect was subtle but very natural, and I actually felt better-balanced.

According to biomechanist Ray Frederickson, Ph.D., the Grips help prevent excessive motion of your hands and forearms, which tends to occur when your thumbs deviate from a vertical position on top of your hands.

In one study at the College of Osteopathic Medicine at Michigan State University, Fredericksen found that walkers and runners voluntarily ran a slightly faster pace when using the Grips.
