I am very pleased and pleasantly surprised with the results we are getting with the DMS. In a short period of time I have seen our athletes benefit from increased ROM, decrease in edema/effusion, relief from trigger points/tendonitis/plantar fasciitis, the list goes on. The DMS has quickly become the most requested and most oftenly used modality in our Training Room. I am very impressed with the ease of use and the quick benefits that result from a short treatment.

Sports Lab.
The DMS machine is an integral part of Sports Lab and the every day training of our athletes. Simply put it is the most effective tool on the market for muscle recovery and the rehabilitation of soft tissue injuries. We highly recommend the DMS machine for not only the serious athlete but anyone who is looking to physically recover faster and more effectively.
Sincerely,
Gavin MacMillan,

"The DMS has been an integral part of our eclectic approach to movement science. As a Fellow of Applied Functional Science, we use the DMS as a tool to our manual work as well as part of movement therapy, training and conditioning. I would strongly recommend the DMS to any therapist, chiropractor, trainer or coach who seeks optimal soft tissue extensibility, recoverability and function of their clients / patients".

Spinal Injury
My name is Damien Minna and I broke my neck at the 4th and 5th cervical vertebrae about three years ago. The injury left me paralyzed from the neck down and the doctors told me that it was highly unlikely that I would ever regain sensory and motor function in my arms and legs. After a three month stay in the hospital I returned home to a very motivated support group that was determined to help me in my efforts to regain my mobility. I was contacted by Dr. Jake, the inventor of the DMS, and he said that he had invented a machine that he knew would help me in my quest to get my body moving again. For months Dr. Jake donated his time and service to experiment with the DMS to see what type of positive effect his machine would have on my body.
To make a long story short I have regained mobility in both of my arms, my core strength has improved dramatically, my finger dexterity has made solid gains and I now push myself around in a manual wheelchair. The DMS has become a solid addition to my intense physical therapy schedule as it adds a deep therapeutic stimulation to muscles that don’t get normal everyday movement. Not only does the DMS relieve chronic tension in my back, neck and shoulders, it also actively recruits dormant muscle fibers that I had lost touch with. My overall sensory and motor function has improved drastically and I can now feel and move areas of my body that I couldn’t before I started using the DMS.
I was so impressed with the results of the DMS that I purchased one for my own personal use. I use it everyday. When Dr. Jake and I discovered the benefits that it had for people with my condition, he donated a machine to the spinal cord rehab facility that I work out at. The DMS is the real deal and in my opinion it is the most beneficial piece of sports therapy equipment on the market.
Sincerely,
Damien Minna

Asthma sufferer
To Whom It May Concern,
I have been a patient of Dr. Jake Pivaroff since 1993. I suffer from severe asthma. When he first used the Deep Muscle Stimulator on me it was to help relax my shoulders that would tighten from bouts of coughing. We discovered that using the stimulator lower on my lungs would cause me to cough deeply and bring up much of the mucus that is produced by my lungs. I consider Dr. Pivaroff part of my "asthma team" along with the Pulmonologist and Allergist. Since we discovered this I have been able to see him when I know my allergies are high and often curtail a severe asthma attack.
Sincerely,
Carol

We have been using the DMS usually at the beginning of our workouts for a few of our clients for aligning and balancing their body. We have also used it on very tight and spastic muscles. In most cases it tends to be the hamstrings and the flexors for the wrist and hand. It helps loosen up muscles that they normally would be fighting against while performing exercises.
The clients that have got the most benefit from the DMS have been our gait trainers who are already up and walking and clients that are able to stand on their own. They tend to feel like their bodies are more balanced and the weight is evenly distributed through both of their feet.
The way we have been using the DMS are hitting the trigger points on the tight side of the abdomen, the glute (inch from the sacrum), piriformis, hamstring and calf. And also we have been gliding the DMS along the fibers of tight muscles on the body which helps to loosen them up for a period of time.
In summary, it has been a great tool that we have been using and experimenting with to help our clients achieve their goals. Most of our clients are pleased with it to help with their recovery and other cases relieve some of their pains.

Dr. Pivaroff,
The medical staff of the Milwaukee Brewers Baseball Club would like to express how the DMS has been an intrical part of our daily sports medicine protocol for injury prevention and rehabilitation. Over the last three (3) years the Milwaukee Brewers Baseball Club has had the lowest number of disabled list (DL) days for all Major League Baseball clubs, and was awarded the Dick Martin award as MLB's "best medical staff" by Baseball Prospectus for 2005.

"The Deep Muscle Stimulator is used almost daily with several of our athletes, and on every game day. We have found by using the DMS, we are able to warm up a player quicker by getting a vigorous and deep stimulating massage. Muscle spasms are also more easily alleviated by using the DMS. The deep penetrating massage can be done in minutes, helping increase blood flow, thus aiding in increased flexibility. The DMS is used in conjunction with other modalities and hands-on techniques."
