- For over one hundred years, Horween Leather Company has been a fixture in Chicago’s great industrial community. The superior quality of our products is the direct result of our employees’ hands-on and physically-demanding job tasks endured to produce a product that has kept us a viable option in the ever-decreasing United States market and the ever-competitive over-seas tanning industry.
-
- The Injury Prevention and Increased Productivity Programs from the Institute of Health and Human Performance (IHHP) exceeded our expectations. Our employees can physically feel the difference after training, and these programs have improved the employee’s attitudes about the workplace creating an improved organizational and safety climate. In addition, we are seeing a significant improvement in our injury Incident Rates and expect to reduce our Workers’ Compensation premiums.
-
- The unique design and implementation of IHHP’s training programs has seamlessly integrated a proactive injury prevention culture within our company that our employees functionally participate in, and benefit from, on a daily basis.

- On the efficiency of State of Illinois subsidization
We would like to commend your department for developing such an efficient protocol for subsidizing great training programs like the Institue of Health and Human Performance's Employee Injury Prevention and Increased Productivity Programs and praise the administrative proficiency of Wright College and DCEO to get our employees trained without the stereotypical bureaucracy of dealing with grants and the government.

- The WOW has become my favorite warm up tool. I use it several times a day before I start to play, even if I have played earlier in the day. I not only feel warmed up after I use it - I truly feel stronger in my upper body. I also use the WOW when I am done with a heavy rehearsal or practice session and it makes me feel much looser and helps me release any tight muscles. I keep a WOW at the hall and one at home. I appreciate its' portability and how quickly I can get results backstage prior to a performance.

- "The Musician’s WOW and the Reset Glove are essential tools in my daily routine which help me maintain a stress-free and injury-free active performing life. They are portable, easy-to-use and give me the quick workout I need to warm up and reset my muscles during personal practice sessions, rehearsals and performances. Since I’ve been using the WOW and Reset Glove, I definitely have more stamina, strength, resilience and energy when I play! "

- "Using the Reset Glove reminds me of how much more I can move and develop the use of my hands. The fatigue from new exercises directs new motion in my hand positions and encourages the alternate uses of my muscles."

- "I use my WOW™ every time I go to practice my cello. It warms up my muscles, especially my much abused arm muscles, and I notice that my general muscle tone looks better since I began using the WOW™. Quite a lot of benefit for very little effort. And it's fun!"

- "I love the WOW™. In addition to using it in my daily warm up routine, I also use it periodically throughout the day. I think both the WOW™ and the Reset Glove have helped me. I keep a WOW™ at home and one at the hall so I always have one available."

- "WOW provides a comprehensive upper body workout of the fine muscle groups used in instrumental playing. Its whirling disc action provides circulation-enhancing vibrations not found in stretching an elastic chord. In the time it takes to boot a computer, WOW gives me a safe warm up, and I'm ready to play!"

Professor of Cello, The University of Kansas
