The Incredible Thumb Tool gets Featured in Advance Magazine:
See The write up in "Advance" magazine here:
Idaho physical therapist has invented a versatile manual rehabilitation tool
They say necessity is the mother of invention. In the case of Kevin Sgroi, PT, inventor of the "Opposable Thumb," that necessity took the form of chronic thumb pain. An effort to relieve this pain led to the invention of a hand-held, two-headed piece of molded plastic, designed to assist with myofascial release, trigger-point release, deep and superficial stretching, as well as general massage. {mospagebreak}
Owner Kevin Sgroi founded Joshua Tree Physical Therapy in Hayden, ID, four years ago. He uses the Opposable Thumb there with his patient population, which generally presents him with orthopedic and neurological conditions while ranging in age from teenagers through people in their 90s. Sgroi discussed the inspiration for and evolution of his invention with ADVANCE last month.
