Healthy Habits: Information from the Creator of Pains and Strains Relief Kits

Joe McClung is co-founder of Pains and Strains. McClung’s innovative injury specific care kits are empowering all, from young adults to senior citizens. 

From a sprained ankle, runner’s knee, tennis elbow and more, Pains and Strains is the first company to offer physician level therapies and medical tools at a retail cost.

With the emergence of activity trackers, fitness apps, and high-intensity fitness programs, people are now more active than ever, often pushing themselves beyond their physical limits. Each injury specific kit will help prevent minor pains from becoming serious injuries as well as provide specialized therapies for a speedy recovery.

Pains and Strains is the brainchild of Dr. Ryan Geringer, a renowned Orthopedic Sports Medicine doctor at Hughston Clinic, and Joe McClung, a former executive for a large Orthopedic Device Manufacturer behind such brands as Dr. Comfort, Aircast, and Procare. With a respective 20 years of experience in the field, they’re looking to shake up the healthcare paradigm for the benefit of their patients, by combining the latest physical therapy techniques and medical grade tools.
