Many
invaluable inventions have found their way into our lives,
making things
that bit easier, that bit safer, that bit more comfortable. In many
cases these inventions have adapted effortlessly into our daily
routine; It is as though they've always been with us.
In
fact how often have we heard it said "What an earth did I do
before" or "I couldn't imagine life without."
We might even
wonder why we hadn't thought of it ourselves!
APinna is just such an invention.
A
brilliant piece of ergonomic design and engineering made of a
light-weight, easy to clean,
medically
approved polymer. This unique product was conceived, tested and
manufactured here in Ireland. It's made in Limerick and is the
brainchild of Philippina Lazara who worked for years on the
prototype, tinkering away at the shape, the material, the padding,
even the weight and color to bring this inspired concept up to her
exacting standards.
APinna was finally launched March 2016 in
Dublin at the 'Mind and Spirit Festival.'
Visitors thronged to the stand where it was
a star of the show. Often the first word that fell from the mouths of
the visiting health and beauty therapists was "Brilliant"
and "Now why didn't I think of that myself. "Philippina
Lazara, known as Pina, is a sage, a healer and councilor; Born in
Amsterdam she has brought her healing to many countries but chose to
settle in West Cork, which has been her home for the last 20 years.
During her many decades as a therapist Pina
frequently noticed a discomfort creeping into her clients lying on
the massage table. She could see how arms, legs and even feet needed
extra support. Relaxation is a key aspect of any healing session,
yet here were clients struggling to find a comfortable position.
This was a growing problem that needed to
be addressed, it rattled around in Pina's brain for ages, worried
her, wouldn't go away until, walking on a sandy beach one afternoon,
she tripped over a rectangular piece of driftwood. What she saw in
her mind's eye resembled two arms - an idea struck her like a
thunderbolt and the inspiration for APinna was born.
For practitioners in the health, beauty,
spa and wellness sector, the added appeal of this invention is that
this portable unattached support for the massage table is light
enough to be carried in an accompanying cotton bag to any location.
The brilliance of APinna is the innovative principal of counter
balance, allowing the therapist freedom to position these unattached
arm supports to create enhanced relaxation. The therapist just needs
to wedge APinna under the natural curve of the client's back, close
to the kidney area, and the client's outstretched arms will find
their optimum point of comfort.
The APinna has been endorsed by a well
known Irish massage table distributor, who appreciated the way in
which APinna would compliment any treatment.
