It's no secret that we here at M11 Fitness support the Cleveland Clinic.  As 2009 was winding down, we were able to make a trip to Cleveland to present the M11 System and the M11 Straps to members of the Cleveland Clinic staff at their main campus.  

We were able to illustrate some bite-sized experiences of how the M11 System works and some of the staff members were able to get on the ground and feel how The Straps worked.  We stopped counted the amount of "oh's" and "wow's" after about 100.  

We had heard how seriously the Cleveland Clinic takes the health of its staff members and patients, but we had no idea how seriously they took it until we got a chance to speak with them further and experience their organizational culture.  Truly outstanding.

Thanks, Cleveland Clinic Team.

Lymph is an example of a word that everybody knows, but few have a solid understanding of its definition and function within the human body.  Lymph is just as important as blood; if not more important.  Just like blood vessels, lymph has its own complex system of vessels that transport the clear liquid past a series of nearly 100 "immune systems checkpoints" called lymph nodes.

Like blood, if lymph is not healthy and circulated on a regular basis, the body suffers.  Simply put, your immune system depends on healthy lymph and does everything in its power to eliminate foreign cells that threaten to jeopardize your body.  Think of your lymphatic system as your own personal body guard...literally.

The more one can get the lymph moving through the body and through the filters we call lymph nodes, the healthier the body becomes.  Here's the challenge:  How do we increase the flow of lymph in our body?

This is where a product like the M11 Straps comes into play.

When using the M11 System, you are able to increase lymph and blood flow through parts of the body that may normally not benefit from consistent circulation.  This can be due to lack of use, chronic pain and nagging injuries.  One of the great things about the M11 System is that it works for all people from all walks of life with all sorts of pain and preventative needs.  Take a look what M11 users say.
