Sacramento, CA (August 11, 1999)

Radiological technicians at the Sutter Memorial Hospital Cancer Center move patients from wheel chairs on to the x-ray tables. Often moving patients much larger than themselves, they are concerned about hurting their backs. Most were amazed to find that the e3 fitness grip could save their backs. The job of moving a patient is now incredibly easier and safer.
Stephen Tamaribuchi, BioGrip, Inc. President and inventor of the e3 fitness grip, was retained by Radiological Associates to train their technicians to move patients without hurting themselves or their patients. Radiological Associates operated the radiation treatment facilities for Sutter Memorial Hospital, Mercy Hospital, and 15 radiological clinics in the Sacramento area. They purchased 80 pairs of e3 fitness grips for use with patients at all of the x-ray facilities in the Sacramento area.

The e3 fitness grip has very broad application for practically all activities and sports. The August 1999 issue of Runner’s World has an article on the e3 grip titled, “Orthotics for Your Hands.” The article note, “They can help correct biomechanical problems and make you a more efficient runner.” Actually, the e3 fitness grip is a “total body orthotic” that allows the body to move as a coordinated and balanced unit. It affects how you use all of your muscles, improving your strength and control and reduces risk of injuries.

Many users have reported that use of the grips has eliminated long-term knee, hip, and back pain. John Kays, a jogger and backpacker for over thirty years, reported that he was on the verge of giving up jogging because of knee pain. With the e3 fitness grip he has eliminated the pain from jogging and back packing trips. Tony Lekas, an arthritis sufferer, could no longer walk around the lake for exercise. Now he can. These are two of many.

Stephen Tamaribuchi hopes to get the e3 fitness grip into the hands of every medical facility and people who want to improve their performance in sports or just simply walking.
