New Rehab In Motion DVD Series Provides a Solution for People Suffering from Back Pain, but Have Limited Financial Resources for Important Physical Therapy Treatments

April 11, 2012 | Author: admin


Naples, Fl (PRWEB) April 04, 2012

Dr. Samuel Hess, Orthopedic Surgeon at The Advanced Orthopedic Center, Port Charlotte, Fl., was frustrated of limited solutions available to his patients who did not have health insurance for physical therapy treatments. He grew less enthused by the standard archaic drawings of exercises for at home therapy because he knew most of his patients struggled understanding how to perform the exercises. Frustrated, he developed a solution called Rehab In Motion. Rehab In Motion offers 3 DVDs that provide detailed instruction on over 75 stretches and exercises for people suffering from pain. Pain associated with the back and neck, hip and knee, shoulder, elbow and hand are addressed. Each exercise is demonstrated by a licensed physical therapist in a one-on-one format to ensure the exercises are executed properly and effectively for maximum benefit.

Rehab In Motion DVDs are used in the privacy, comfort and convenience of ones home and saves time and money associated with ongoing physical therapy treatments. The DVDs are not a replacement for traditional hands-on therapy; rather, they fill the void of a convenient and cost-effective alternative for patients who will benefit from additional physical therapy or need an alternative to clinic-based rehabilitation due to insufficient insurance.

Recently, Dr. Bernard Nau, Orthopedic Surgeon, Porte Prince, Haiti, became the first International physician to offer Rehab in Motion for his patients. According to Dr. Nau, “The Rehab In Motion series will be extremely beneficial to all of my patients who have difficulty obtaining physical therapy.”

Rehab In Motion DVDs are available online at http://www.rehabinmotiononline.com. The cost of the DVDs are the equivalent of one co-pay for “hands on” PT treatments.

Rehab In Motion will change the way in which physical therapy is available to anyone who suffers from pain.

About Rehab In Motion

Rehab In Motion was developed to deliver comprehensive, professionally produced and inexpensive instructional DVDs for consumers needing continued or desired rehabilitation. With Physical Therapy coverage being decreased by insurance companies, the DVDs available from Rehab In Motion help those with limited insurance policies receive the help they need in the comfort of their own home.

Margot Kidder is Back in New, Sophisticated Thriller, THREE OF A KIND–Premiering at the 45th Annual WorldFest-Houston Independent International Film Festival

April 9, 2012 | Author: admin


BOISE, Idaho (PRWEB) March 30, 2012

THREE OF A KIND, portrays a woman who tries to break free from her abusive marriage to a powerful, dangerous man. Victor (Tom Adams) is the man of Annas (Jodi Russell) dreams, but in reality Victor becomes the man of her nightmares. He must also confront his own nightmares haunting childhood memories that he relives with his disabled sister (Margot Kidder).

Margot Kidder gives a riveting, heartfelt performance in THREE OF A KIND, says writer and director Gregory James Green. This is one of those cannot miss performances. Everyone should see it. Idaho-made film THREE OF A KIND will enjoy its world premiere Saturday, April 14th at 7:00pm at the WorldFest-Houston Independent International Film Festival.

THREE OF A KIND became reality in a unique way. Green made a nine minute film entitled THE PAYOFF for his college senior thesis. After a cinema studies student saw the film over three decades later, he urged Green to make the short into a full-length motion picture. And he did.

After finishing the script, Green originally planned to produce a micro-budget movie. After casting in Los Angeles however, he changed his mind. The actors did such an amazing job in bringing his script to life that he raised the budget considerably and produced the motion picture his screenplay demanded and deserved.

Life can be painful and messy, yet funny and euphoric. Annas story is all that and more, says Green. I wanted to tell a unique, exciting, multi-dimensional story that keeps you on the edge of your seat. This film has characters you can deeply relate to and empathize with.

People think that acting is about lying – in fact its quite the opposite. An actor is telling really deep truths, explains Margot Kidder. I mesh something in me with my character in the script.

According to the producers, many women shared they were going to make changes in their lives after watching THREE OF A KIND. Every filmmaker hopes for a positive impact like this and were seeing it with THREE OF A KIND, Green says.????

WorldFest-Houston is a big deal, says Green. This prestigious festival discovered Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, the Coen brothers, Ridley Scott, Oliver Stone, Brian DePalma, David Lynch, Jonathan Demme and others who continued with great success after WorldFest, says Green. Very few festivals can claim such a track record.

THREE OF A KIND is currently available for domestic and foreign distribution.

For more information, to arrange an interview or to request a DVD of THREE OF A KIND, please contact Gregory Green at (760) 641-3059, greg@cinemapartners.com or visit these websites: http://www.facebook.com/THREEOFAKINDthemovie

Amazon set to challenge Apples domination of the tablet PC market, says online research specialist DigitalMR.

April 7, 2012 | Author: admin


London (PRWEB UK) 4 April 2012

Social media research specialist DigitalMR releases latest findings on what customers are saying about tablet PCs on the internet.

The overwhelming majority of customers are highly positive in their views on tablet PCs as expressed on the internet. DigitalMR measured thousands of comments for slate devices across Dec 2011 to Jan 2012. 71% of all views measured were positive with only 29% negative. Apple recorded a 32% share of all positive comments and 35% of the smaller pool of negative ones. Hot on its heels is Amazon with 30% of positive mentions and a 33% share of negative.

Results are based on comments posted by consumers on the major tablet brands made by: Apple, Motorola, Samsung, Blackberry, HTC, LG, HP, ASUS, Amazon and Sony across Dec 2011 to Jan 2012.

DigitalMRs analysis (powered by SocialNuggets) is based on comments posted via a range of relevant websites and open access social media platforms. It measures, not only the number of comments posted by consumers on the internet, but also their sentiment whether posts are positive or negative in nature.

Managing Director of DigitalMR, Michalis Michael commented: Can Apple maintain its dominant position among tablet PCs? It will be interesting to see if Amazons Kindle Fire tablet can continue to convert its positive online sentiment into sales.

All the brands measured, achieve a positive Net Sentiment Score (NSS) for Dec-Jan. NSS provides an overall percentage score of net positive posts. A positive score means a tablet attracts a higher proportion of positive than negative posts.

The average NSS taken across all brands measured is 42% which is high compared with other industry sectors, although slightly down on the average NSS for Jul-Aug 2011 (50%). Customers are still generally satisfied with tablet products and services and are happy to spread the word online.

Apple and Amazon both achieved a below average NSS score of 38%, but given their relative dominance in the market, customer expectations are likely to be higher. Tablet brands that achieve the highest NSS are Sony 72% and HP with 56%. The lowest performing tablet was Motorola with an NSS of 33%

Sony

The Sony tablet (I own one)…you have the play station store and the Sony can play downloaded movies easily The design of Sony tablet s makes the tablet easy to hold, and the tablet is extremely light.

HP

The best case is without a doubt is the one made by Stilgut~ purpose made so fits perfectly, access to all ports, holds the HP tablet at various angles and looks very classy… not cheap but well worth every penny..

Amazon

Nerds who like to tweak shouldn’t be buying such a device. They should buy something that’s designed to be more tweakable. The Fire is not designed to be a tablet period. Amazon never markets it as such and the word Android can’t even be found on the product page. It’s designed as a device to facilitate consumption of Amazon content. Anything you get out of it beyond that is just a bonus.

Motorola:

Yeah, kind of disappointed at the book reading support of Motorola Xoom,out of the box, day 1. The google books app is nice and responsive but there is no way to use it to read your own pdfs, epubs etc. that I can find. I downloaded Adobe Reader and Aldiko but neither are completely stable and as smooth and responsive.
