Dear MendMeShop, In August of 2009, I suffered a severe meniscus tear in my left knee, pain level 9.5 out of 10. This occurred in my sleep while trying to untangle sheets that had wrapped around my ankles. I had awoken suddenly to severe pain that that only got worse as the injury began to swell under my kneecap. This injury rendered me unable to walk and getting out of bed took 5 - 10 minutes. I would prop myself up on crutches with a pillow in my mouth to bite down on and stifle my yelling as to not disturb the rest of my family, while I straightened my leg. I needed to do this every time before I could begin a trip to the bathroom; which at 49 years old is a 3am occurrence every night.
I knew I was a candidate for arthroscopic surgery. I had major and minor surgies over the past two years and was not excited about another one. I started to research options online when I stumbled upon The MendMeShop. After reading the testimonies and weighing the cost, I deided to give the complete Ultrasound system with the Knee Inferno and Knee Freezie a try!
BOY! AM I GLAD THAT I DID!!
Within a couple of weeks, I was able to get rid of the crutches and was 95% pain free in 8 weeks, completely healed and back on a treadmill two weeks after that. I have a friend at church who had the same injury, opted for surgery, and took 12 weeks to heal.
Purchasing the MendMeShop Ultrasound system and wraps was by far the wisest medical treatment decision I have ever made for two reasons. Once you have surgery you are never the same,(with knee surgery you are almost guaranteed arthritis in the affected area within ten years or less), and the healing process was quicker without having to undergo invasive surgery.
Thank you MendMeShop!!

Rating:  Andy G. Dear MendMeShop, Since I am a nurse and see a lot of injuries, I know what helps. Recently I tore my ACL in my left knee and was going to physical therapy, which by the way is very expensive if you do not have really good insurance coverage. It was very time consuming and costly, so I started looking online for another alternative and found Mendmeshop. Best thing I could have done! The ultrasound device and gel are WONDERFUL! I started seeing improvement in the first week and love the ease of use and the fact that it can be done at home on my own schedule. The customer service is also top notch, and there for you immediately. I highly recommend this product and it has been a PLEASURE dealing with Paul and this company. Rating: Marti Marshall Dear MendMeShop, I recently ordered the Inferno Wrap and wanted to tell you how great it worked. I had a minor MCL tear and bursitis of the knee from a fall on ice in February, yes here in the Southern US, we do have ice sometimes and we don't know how to walk on it. Well, to make a long story short, I healed much faster and will recommend your product to others. Also, a representative from Mendmeshop called and asked how the product was working. This is unheard of in today's world. I never realized how long or involved a knee injury could be. Thank you for such a wonderful product. Rating: Vivian Miller
More Tendon Facts:
Ultrasound can speed tendonitis recovery significantly.
A fully ruptured Tendon REQUIRES surgery. It will not heal on its own.
Except for a fully ruptured tendon, Tendonitis can almost always be cured without surgery.
Left untreated, tendonitis can be extremely debilitating and lead to life long complications.
Continually using your Tendon while it is injured will lead to a worse injury.
To Heal as fast as possible: Rest

Avoid Pain Killers
Dear MendMeShop, I am certified in Rolfing, a form of deep, integrative bodywork and Massage. I use my hands alot for this work. Last September I broke my cardinal rule to limit activities outside work that would stress my hands. I laid down a bamboo floor on two stories of my house. I used a jigsaw and hydraulic nail gun which were hard on my hands. Shortly after completing the work, my right thumb gave out. It would either click and hang up when I bent it or lock up completely and refuse to bend at all. It was stiff and painful.
After trying a number of home remedies including rest, ice, heat, essential oils, and manual manipulation, I finally went to see a hand doctor and yes, you guessed it, my choice was surgery or cortisone shots which are only effective in about a third of the cases. His diagnosis was "trigger thumb." The tendon was damaged, swollen and scarred, creating a lump so it would no longer move easily through the tendon sheath. The operation did not remove the lump, but rather slit the tendon sheath so the lump could move unimpeded. Well, that did not sound so great to me, as I think about fluids that the sheath contains and how the dynamics of my thumb may change forever. Having worked with many clients over the last ten years, I have seen how the body never really goes back to factory spec after a surgery, so if there were any other solutions, I wanted to find them.
In March I found Mend Me Shop's website and read about the portable Ultrasound Machine. I ordered it that day along with a supply of gel. I have had consistent improvement in my thumb. I maintained the same work schedule and began their treatment protocol. At first I noticed the general tightness and swelling went down, then I noticed that the strength was returning. Some time after that, my thumb began to move again, sometime with clicking and sometime without. I have done several thirty day protocols so far and I am absolutely certain that my thumb will heal completely. The other day I had a totally normal thumb for the entire day, which delighted me and is a good indication of the healing that is taking place. We are often too much in a hurry to fix things, and rush into surgery or harmful medications. The body has enormous capabilities to heal and sometimes needs just a little help and patience.
I find the staff at Mend Me Shop extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Customer Service is obviously a very important thing to them, which I appreciate, as that is how I treat my clients and it is nice to find that level of service me.
I hope if you are reading this that you give this unit a try. The ability to apply the treatment yourself is not only cost effective, but also better from a healing perspective because as you follow the treatment protocol outlined for your condition, you can see and feel the accumulative effect. This would be difficult, not to mention expensive, if you had to go to an outside service. Rating: Rita Singh Dear MendMeShop, I purchased your ultrasound device and gel several months ago. I have used it as prescribed regularly with outstanding results.
Several years ago, while playing football as a quarterback, I received a Meniscus injury to my left knee. I have had physical therapy steroids, other drugs and natural medicine which helped for a time but the pain kept returning.
I received a brochure through the internet. Purchased the device and used it regularly. During a x-ray review of my knee, I learned that the meniscus increased in thickness. Six months ago I was experiencing a bone on bone situation. The last x-ray showed a space between the bone increased to 3.25 mm, relieving the bone on bone and hence the pain I was experiencing.
Thank you so much for letting me know of the device. Rating: James Andrews Dear MendMeShop, Hi. I injured the tendons/ligaments all around my right ankle while Zumba dancing. It started swelling and aching so badly that I could hardly walk. I went to a specialist who x-rayed it and said permanent damage had been done and that I would probably have a lot of trouble with it the rest of my life and therapy wouldn't help. I am 61 but not ready to give up. He said nothing much could be done about it and I was prone to having trouble because I am naturally flat-footed with narrow feet that don't give me much support.
I wasn't satisfied with that answer so I did research on the Internet and found that ultrasound 3x a day to increase circulation and get down deep inside the tissue could help. I found your website and decided to take a chance since I had no other choice. I religiously applied the gel and ultrasound 3x a day for six weeks at medium for 10 minutes. (I stopped after 3 weeks, but the ankle got worse within two days so I started again.) After two days the swelling decreased by half and the pain about 60%. During this whole time I was still taking dance but not jumping up and down, just doing arm movements. Also I work in a tax office where I am on my feet a lot and managed not to miss one day of work.
Tax season is now over and I haven't used the ultrasound in two weeks. I still can't jump on the ankle and I have a few twinges now and then but am able to walk 2 miles a day at a normal pace. My gait is now normal and most people don't realize I'm still favoring the ankle a little. I'm sure I will have lifetime problems with the ankle, but as long as I have my ultrasound machine, I'm sure I'll be able to lead a normal life. I'm thrilled with the product and have recommended it to several people. Rating: Katharine Goodridge Dear MendMeShop, The very shallow shoulder joint has a "sac" or Capsule the surrounds it. The capsule has overlapping folds on it when it is not stretched by large shoulder movements.
"Frozen shoulder" or Adhesive Capsulitis is the condition where the folds adherer to each other with scar tissue and then restricts the shoulders movement by not allowing the capsule to expand or stretch. This can be a very painful and frustrating condition to have. Performing friction therapy manually through the armpit to breakdown these adhesions is painful and invasive.
I have been using the Mendmeshop Portable Ultrasound Unit to treat my patients with this condition and have seen excellent results. The ultrasound waves are perfect for breaking down the scar tissue that forms in-between the folds of the capsule. It is pain free and has an excellent medicated ultrasound gel that helps reduce inflammation. When combined with a regular stretching routine you can have measurable results in as little as 10 days. The unit is easy to use, has adjustable settings, and is portable so I can use it when performing massage on site at resorts and sporting events.
Thank you for such this amazing product. Rating: David Coccimiglio

Use Your Body's Natural Healing System
to Treat Your Tendon Injury!
How Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy (BFST®) Works
Your body can heal itself! In fact, your body started healing itself the moment you injured your tendon and it's the blood in your body that makes it all happen.
Your blood is the transport mechanism for everything that is good inside you. It carries oxygen, nutrients, water and antibodies.
Proper blood flow to your tendon is essential to healing. Unfortunately, when you injure your body, you stop moving and the swelling sets in. That means your vital blood flow can be reduced to a trickle!
It will seem weird for you to read this, but there are a LOT of people out there that do not understand how fast a Freezie Wrap® can get the swelling / inflammation of an injury under control... fast! Only once the inflammation is reduced can a person start to deal with their actual injury and pain - and this is where the BFST® effect from an Inferno Wrap® really starts to shine!
The MISSING Piece of the Puzzle....
where SO MANY get it WRONG!
Swelling and tendon inflammation is the effect of your body responding to an injury. A lot of pain will probably disappear as the swelling disappears, and many people make the wrong assumption that their tendon, muscle or other soft tissue injury must be healing as most of the pain is gone. Once you have reduced the swelling with cold, remember that your injury is still there.
This is a critical time! Once the inflammation is gone it may feel like you can return to your regular sports, hobbies, exercise or other activities - but your tendon (and possibly your muscle tissue) is in a weakened state, unstable, and still injured. Even the slightest movement in the wrong direction can worsen the injury and increase the swelling yet again. Most "weekend warriors" and amateur athletes will start going back to what they were doing before they got their tendinitis, and that is where they get it wrong - professional athletes know that the injury is still there and needs to be dealt with before resuming their activities 100%!
BFST® - Accelerated Healing Power for Your Tendonitis
If you want to heal quickly, you need to keep your blood moving and that's where BFST®, comes in. What is BFST®? It's a substantial increase in the flow of blood to your injury location without the need to exercise the area. This is what the Inferno Wrap® does... you can really feel it work!
Have you seen what happens when you add water to a flower wilted from drought? In essence, an injured tendon is much like a "wilted" flower; your body wants to heal its injury, but needs lots of nutrients to do it.
Blood brings new life to your cells by delivering healing nutrients and oxygen that are vital to your tissue. In addition, the blood carries away toxins and cellular waste cleaning the area and healing it faster. Without a good supply of blood, your tendon simply won't heal properly.
In order to get maximum blood flow to your injury, you need to help your body stimulate blood flow. BFST® (blood flow stimulation therapy), is the fast, easy and pain-free way to increase blood flow and speed healing. It is the key to dealing with your tendonitis injury properly.
Within moments of applying an Inferno Wrap® to your injured tendon or muscle, you can feel the healing sensation and the increase in blood flow.
During a treatment, and for quite some time after you finish, your injured tendons, ligaments, bursae and muscles will experience increased blood flow even though your body is at rest. It's a soothing sensation and extremely effective.
With BFST® your injury is constantly being fed with healing, nutritious, oxygen and energy filled blood. This is exactly what your body needs to heal.
Inferno Wrap = The Perfect BFST® Delivery Tool How An Inferno Wrap® Works
An Inferno Wrap® is purely a BFST® workhorse! It is why we made them. They have been specifically designed for the treatment of deep, soft tissue injuries.
Inferno Wraps® contain a patented Energy Web® which is flexible and shaped to conform to your body. This Energy Web® emits a uniform wave of perfectly safe electro-magnetic energy over its entire surface. This energy travels deep inside your tissue and stimulates the blood flow needed to heal your injury. It is the electromagnetic energy that is crucial to the healing process.
The unit plugs into a wall outlet to get its power. It has a special signal controller which can be set for 3 different power levels of application (3=High, 2=Medium, 1=Low).
The cord is long so you can sit or lie comfortably and watch TV, read or surf the net while you are using it.
There is no sound or vibration or motion that comes from the unit. There are no creams or gels required, you simply wrap it snugly around the location of your tendinitis injury and turn it on. It is very easy to use.
Electromagnetic Energy = Increased Blood Flow = More Oxygen, More Nutrients and Less Toxins = Faster Healing A History of Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy
BFST® is a new advancement to an age old therapy. The promotion of blood flow to promote healing has been a standard medical therapy for over 100 years. For centuries, doctors, therapists and moms worldwide have used warmth as a means of increasing blood flow. Hot water bottles and their variations have been used to soothe sore joints and muscles forever.
The problem with applied heat (aka the 'frying pan' approach) is that it only works on the skin and doesn't penetrate deep into the underlying tissue where most of the injured tissue really is. A warm bath is a similar concept but it still relies on the hot water to heat your skin, and your skin to heat the fat below the skin, and the fat to heat the muscle tissue, and so on. It works to some extent, but there are much more effective options.
Among other things, ultrasound is a moderate blood flow stimulator. And unlike the hot compress approach which really just heats the surface, ultrasound penetrates below the skin to vibrate your inner tissue at the cellular level. More so, ultrasound's vibration technique is more effective as a clearing tool, reducing swelling (edema) and enabling circulation. Ultrasound stimulation is great for 'cleaning' the injured area below in the tissue, but ultimately you want to get that invaluable healing blood supply flowing through the area. That's what BFST® is all about.
 BFST® is all about promoting blood flow deep within your body tissue. You feel it right away. And unlike hot compresses, which are hot on your skin, the surface of your skin really just warms, and so does all the tissue below it, right down to the core. When you use Inferno Wraps® to give you BFST®, you feel the stimulation, the warmth, the increased blood flow deep within your injured tendon- and that's what you want. Inferno Wrap® BFST® stimulates the injured area, but don't let the name scare you. An Inferno Wrap® is not hot to the touch. Even after 30 minutes of treatment your skin is warm, but not hot. In fact, Inferno Wraps® are very comfortable to wear and very soothing to use. Arthritis patients swear by the deep penetrating, soothing effectiveness of our patented Energy Web®.
Why is BFST® Deep Healing So Important?
Some heat therapies you may have tried such as heating pads, hot water bottles, moist towels, and warm baths only create a superficial heat near the surface of the skin. There are 2 reasons for this: - The layer of fat beneath the surface of the skin (subcutaneous layer) actually works as an insulator and reduces the amount of heat that can penetrate into your tendon.
- Your body senses a temperature increase on your skin and increases blood flow in the skin layer to flush away the heat.
Basically, a heating pad or hot water pad gives you BFST®, but at the skin layer instead of where it is needed most - at the location of the injury!
Why does it matter how deep the heat goes?
It matters because to effectively increase blood flow where you need it, you need the heat effect to occur at the location of the damaged tissue.
To get the blood flow deep - where you need it, you need the electromagnetic power of the Inferno Wrap®.
Inferno Wrap - The Secret to Accelerated Healing
Electromagnetic energy waves are not Heat Waves. When they are emitted from the Inferno Wrap® they penetrate right through your skin and fat layers until they get to your ligaments, muscles, and tendons. Once they reach this injured area, they are absorbed and quickly converted into heat energy... that's Heat - Right at the Location of the Injury.
Now, what happens then? Well, the BFST® effect happens, and it happens in the exact place you need it most! This is the only system that can provide the BFST® effect deep in the body where it is needed.
The Inferno Wrap® is the only flexible, therapeutic wrap that can significantly increase bloodflow at the source of your injury - period. It is patented technology you will find nowhere else!
Although you will experience a warming sensation as the treatment progresses, the electromagnetic energy waves penetrating into your tendons, ligaments and muscles are what give you the healing power.
With regular use of the Inferno Wrap®:
- Your pain will be reduced.
- Your tendinitis (or tenosynovitis) will heal at a highly accelerated rate.
- Your injured joint will have a larger range of motion.
Wrap the Inferno Wrap around the area of your injury, plug it in and let the Energy Web do the work!
I Have Only Had the Knee Inferno For Six Days, But There Is Already Improvement
I'm sorry I missed your call to tell you how pleased I am with the [inferno] wrap. I've only had it six days and there is some improvement already.
I sprained a ligament in both knees a month ago doing aerobics, and was beginning to feel I would never heal. The thermal wrap is just wonderful. I will certainly recommend it to anyone I know that needs such treatment.
My husband will be eternally grateful for your product - he has to do the daily vacuuming from our exotic birds and our 3 dogs.
Thank you for your phone call and offer of assistance.

Proprietary Technology For The Best Therapy Available!
We are constantly being asked, is it like a heating pad, is it like infra-red, is it like ultrasound, does it use a magnet? The truth is that our technology is proprietary and it stands alone to be what we believe is the most effective Blood Flow Stimulation Therapy™ product available.
It is the only product we know that has been developed specifically to heal a soft tissue injury in this fashion. IT WORKS unbelievably well! You can be certain: There is nothing else like an Inferno Wrap®
While you are treating your injury with your Inferno Wrap®, the increase in blood flow will also wisk away inflammation. As it does, the elastic nature of the neoprene wrap gently compresses the area to prevent the inflammation from returning.
After you are done your treatment, you can leave your wrap on to help prevent the return of swelling. The cord easily disconnects right at the wrap so you can get up and move freely while still wearing it. Obviously, to get the blood flow stimulation therapy™, the unit needs to be connected and turned on, but after your treatment you can wear your wrap for gentle compression and a bit of support for the injured area which generally makes your tendon feel better.
When you are using it, the Energy Web® stimulates all the tissue beneath it evenly. The parts of your body that are healthy will rapidly respond with increased blood flow and there will be little sensation in that area. A warming sensation will be sensed in areas that are injured because the injury and the inflammation can be restricting circulation.
The effects of the stimulating energy waves build up in that area and your body responds with increased blood flow. Over the course of an application you will actually notice a decrease in the sensation because your body is responding to the treatment - the blood is starting to flow.
As your body continues to heal from treatment to treatment you will also notice a decrease in the sensation because your body is healing and responding more efficiently to the stimulation. So, not only do you heal, but with every treatment you can feel the difference - you can tell your injury is getting better.
Inferno Wrap® - Comfortable, Effective and Easy To Use
Inferno Wraps® are very comfortable to wear. The shell is made of soft pliable neoprene with a soft plush surface. It is resilient, flexible and will not lose its shape over time. The inside has a breathable nylon lining. The edges are soft and sewn flush to not abraise your skin.
The energy web within is also flexible like cloth so the entire unit conforms to your body.
Inferno Wraps® are cut and sewn specifically to fit each part of the body so each one fits perfectly. They come with broad straps with velcro closures so they are very easy to put on and take off.
The cord is seven feet long so you have mobility during treatment. The cord can be unplugged right at the wrap so you can leave the wrap on as a compression support without having the cord dangling as you move about. It is so easy to plug and un-plug you can stop and start your treatments with ease. This wrap is comfortable enough to wear all day long.
The Inferno Wrap® is not affected by clothing. Wear it over or under - it is up to you.
Inferno Wrap® - Premium Quality, and 100% Guaranteed to be the Best!
Like all our products, Inferno Wrap® are the highest quality products you will find anywhere. We have them for every part of the body. And, of course, we guarantee our wraps with the MendMeShop 60 day, money back guarantee.

If you have an injured tendon, muscle or ligament that you want to heal quickly, harness the power of your own body to heal itself. Stimulate your blood flow. Bring the energy, nutrition, oxygen, and life giving blood to your body to heal it properly.
If you are suffering from a chronic tendintiis injury or seem to re-injure your tendon every time you think its healed (ie. chronic achilles tendonitis is very common in runners), then you probably know a lot about atrophy and scar tissue. In cases such as this consider supercharging your BFST® therapy and scar tissue treatment with the use of therapeutic ultrasound. Click here to Read More About Therapeutic Ultrasound
With an Inferno Wrap® you can help your body heal without medications. You can heal your body organically.

Tendon Injury Facts:
When the tendon gets inflamed it is known as tendonitis, and when the tendons are chronically overused, it may lead to microscopic tears in the collagen matrix and causes a gradual weakening of the tissues.
Achilles tendonitis is a common injury among runners, as the Achilles tendon is responsible for helping you lift off the ground with each stride.
As computers become ever more important elements of the work place and everyday life, incidents of wrist tendonitis are on the rise.
Oral Medications can mask the pain but do not aid in the healing of tendonitis. Anti-inflammatories and pain killers can cause tendonitis to worsen.
Ice and Compression are the easiest and most effective treatments for tendonitis.
Dear MendMeShop, I have been using the Ultrasound Therapy System and the Back/Hip Inferno Wrap in treating a hamstring tendon injury very high in the hip at the insertion point.

Dear MendMeShop, I have never been as happy with a product as I am with MendMeShop's Portable Ultrasound. The ultrasound took away my pain in my hands and my edema. I use it once a day and it's wonderful.
Every time I had a pulled muscle I had to go to the doctor and would end up in physical therapy where they would use an ultrasound machine (similar therapy as my new Portable Ultrasound). Getting ultrasound therapy from my physical therapist cost me a lot of money.
I also get side affects from the medications that I take for my joints in both hands, so I read my MendMeShop Portable Ultrasound Treatment Manual and started treatment on my hands right away. Now with regular ultrasound therapy maintenance on my hands they do not hurt any longer. Even the Edema in my ankles goes away when I treat with the ultrasound!
At-home ultrasound therapy with MendMeShop's unit has been best thing I have done for myself. I only wish I had ordered their unit many years ago.
