Susan Robins, Cello

 

Susan Z. Robins, the creator of Muscle Angel Massagers™, has been playing the cello since she was 10 years old. By the time she was in junior high school, she began to have neck and back pain from carrying the 30-pound instrument to and from rehearsals. Recently, she developed bilateral tendonitis on her hands and arms from computer overuse and from the repetitive motion required to play her cello. The pain progressed to the point where Susan was not only unable to play her instrument, she couldn’t even open a jar or turn a key in a door. 

 

Massage therapy and occupational therapy helped, as did Bikram yoga, but Susan needed a solution that wasn’t so costly or time-consuming. As a result, she launched a comprehensive search for a product that would meet all her needs.  She tried massage balls in all their many forms, foam rollers, electronic vibrating chair cushions, and tennis balls stuffed into tube socks. Everything worked for one particular area of pain, but no one product worked for all areas.
