MEDI-WINGS BY APINNA: 2024

Hi, my name is Pina. I am a spiritual healer, who has treated 1000s of people over the last 26 year of practice. I've observed my clients comfort which was compromised by the inability to stretch their arms out comfortably and fully. Medi-Wings is created to solve this observed need for people on treatment tables and at hospital settings.

I was unable to find a suitable product that can be positioned and adapt to any body shape or size. As a frustrated therapist and frustrated costumer, I decided to create the solution to this problem; And so I did! I designed Medi-Wings, an out of the box idea - a set of un-attached arm supports.

Medi-Wings is an unique product without a predecessor. Patient positioners do exist. However they are bulky, attached to the tables and beds and often not suitable for patients in a supine position. The unique, ergonomically designed arm supports are created to offer instant support, using the principle of counter balance.

Medi-Wings is a bold novice promising to fill up the gap in the arm support market that others have left, offering instant comfort to anyone working in the holistic sector, beauty world, conventional health care, hospital settings, therapist & clients/patients alike, just to name a few.

The therapist/caregiver has the freedom to position the Medi-Wings device to suit the client requirement, as it is designed to support people of all sizes and body shapes comfortably as part of a daily routine. The device is made of an ergonomic design for easy insertion under the hollow of the back.

It only takes a few seconds thereafter to enable the client to stretch out comfortably. Medi-Wings increases client's comfort and creates an instant atmosphere of caring, or the feeling of a bespoke treatment.

Patients on hospital trolleys are often uncomfortable and this is exacerbated when they need to keep their arms stretched out to availe a bespoke treatment. Medi-Wings also benefits the medical staff because it facilitates easier access to the arms of the patient by having to bend less low. E.g to insert intravenous drips/ blood transfusions.

Who's arm looks more comfortable?

It's features; innovative, white medical grade material, portable, lightweight, flexible, durable, and easily adjustable to suit the patient's need. The set is easy to use, to store, and to clean/sterilise with a alcohol based wipe or any current clinical protocols.

'I'm in love! One of the long standing issues I've had in here over the years is how to needle some of the acupuncture points on the inside of a clients arm and have them rest their arm in a comfortable manner (and not knock needles out...). I am DELIGHTED to discover that the solution had finally been created - medi-wings - I've never made an impulse purchase as quickly as this one!! I'm only on Day 2 of using them and already I can see that these are a GAMER CHANGER. No more clumsy rolled up towels or awkwardly positioned stools! Feedback has been fantastic from everyone I've used them with so far. If you're an acupuncturist, you need these. If you're one of my clients, I've probably mentioned this exact problem to you many-a-time and am looking forward to introducing you all to my newest love!!' Aimee Scalon Irish Acupuncturist.

'I have had a treatment with Medi-Wings on the couch and it was amazing! The armrests allowed my shoulders to rotate outwards whilst my arms were supported. This allowed me me to instantly relax deeply. while feeling like my body was floating and fully supported.' Irish Holistic Therapist

I really liked using APinna in my treatments. My patients arms are not dangling any more. Patients said that their chest feels open as arms are fully supported, creates relaxed feeling. A colleague said APinna would be great for bathing patients in bed or when arm in cast, allows for access to the side of the body. Material is very soft, supportive, and flexible so that I as a massage therapist can apply pressure without feeling as though it would snap. Overall impression: Easy, lightweight, sturdy, handy, relief from blood rushing to fingertips. Massage therapist likes them, but recommend a longer and wider version as well.

'APinna is a product which I have recently started using in my Clinic. It is used to ensure the patient is comfortable and relaxed on the treatment couch. Medi-Wings also supports a persons arm so there is less pressure on the shoulder joint. I would highly recommend this product to any other therapist. Your patients will love it.' Sarah O'Mahoney. Chartered Physiotherapist.

'I purchased my Medi-Wings for my personal use during my cranial sessions. It has made such a difference to the treatment, as I can feel my shoulders open up when using my "wings, and the session hahs been much more beneficial. It also enables you to move your arms and shoulders as you wish, with no disturbance which is great for this therapy. I forgot to bring them on my last visit, and both myself and the and the therapist noticed the difference. My shoulders did not relax and heal as well as they do with the Medi-Wings. Can wholeheartedly recommend. J.W. Devon England

Hi there. I love this APinna product. I was googling ways to make my massage table more comfortable. I couldn't find anything! I just looked and found your page after about an hour. I am moving into a clinic space with 4 treatment rooms and I'd like to buy a set for each room. Thank You Pina for creating this amazing product!!!' Dr. Crystal Ford, DACM, Dipl. Ac. (NCCAOM), L.Ac., Oregon US Deschutes Acupuncture

I LOVE this APinna product, and my patients really enjoy the flexibility with different positions that these give them. It's important to me that my patients are as comfortable as possible and these are just wonderful. In fact, my patients and I loved my first set so much, I just ordered 3 more sets for every room in my clinic. There's nothing else out there like these! HIGHLY recommended. Dr. Crystal Ford, DACM, Dipl. Ac. (NCCAOM), L.Ac., Oregon US Deschutes Acupuncture : Part 2

'They enhanced the session. It felt natural to leave the arms resting on the pads compared to arms being crossed or by the side. Lying in a position without having to keep your moving limbs, increased my experience as I was able focus moore on my being/treatment. There was a feeling of relaxed opennes with my arms in this position. it also made work on the hands and arms more accessible for Pina. Irish Male client.

'I have been using the Medi-Wing boards for a while now at "Time for You. They take a little getting used to, especially placing under clients, but well worth the effort. Really helpful for larger bodies. Can highly recommend them.'Irish Holistic therapist.

'Feeling relaxed/wonderful/at peace during a a treatment from Pina with the APinna set. Not only could I feel their support for my arms, but also at my lower back. The moment she took them away at the end of the session i could feel my back tense up and shoulders going up straight.' Female Dutch client.

Eleanor with more than 20 years of massage experience says, 'Client comfort has always been a priority at the Clinic. So I'm delighted to try out the Medi-Wings my with my regular clients, feedback is good! Adapting to individual clients is a priority in my Clinic. Medi-Wings by APinna allows me flexibility in positioning clients for creative treatment sessions.' Eleanor Fitzgerald, The New You Clinic, Bantry Ireland

'Upon first impression of the Medi-Wing apparatus, I love the shape and the clean white colour. It's slim and easy to use. It is such an improvement for me to use over the hap hazard use of chairs and pollows to support my patients limbs. It is much more proffesional to slide Medi-Wings in place and move forward with a treatment. Medi-Wings by APinna is addressing a real concern and safety issue I had with a patient falling asleep while the acupuncture needles were in place and I left the room. If a limb fell off the table and would wake the patient in an undesirable way and possibly lead to abruise at the needle site. My patients are happy with the Medi-Wings support system. it feels natural & unobtrusive. ' Nicole Masters Licensed Acupuncurist, San Francisco. US

'How wonderful Pina to see this. From my experience with you, I found these arm supports work very, very well helping to create a sens of feeling more naturally relaxed from not being as restricted during the sessions.' Female Irish client. K. A

'Most people who come to me for relaxtion sessions really love the Medi-Wings set, while others still have to get their heads around the whole counter balance concept, but once they tried it they like it too. i treat a lot of people with back, neck and shoulder pains. During the sessions they lie on the tummies. I tried the set out myself before I integrated it into my work. I fell asleep just by laying on them, that's how relaxing the Med-Wings are!' Anja Slender, Massage Therapist.

'I had another fabulous session with APinna. The arm paddles really are a fantastic creation. They allow you to fully relax your whole body to get the maximum benefit from your session as your arms are in such a comfortable position throughout regardless of what movements your body may be making. It’s always the simplest ideas are the best ideas'. Female English client

I was first introduced to Medi-Wings when I got a treatment from Pina. I thought how smart this lady was as I felt very comfortable by being able to let my arms just be and stretch as needed. After the launch I bought a set. I am an acupuncturist and now I use it in my sessions. I find it very useful because we needle a lot on the arms and around the wrists and hands. I always found the width of the table too small because if the patient is holding their arms to stay comfortable, the Qi cannot flow properly and therefore the treatment cannot be 100 % as efficient as it should be where the body is totally relaxed.
