The Thera-Tree produces a gentle therapeutic electromagnetic field that has been helping horses by offering pain relief and deep relaxation. We think it helps people and pets, too.
In the chaotic energetic environment of today, we could all use a chance to pause and connect with the earth’s healing frequencies, like what we do in the morning sun at the beach or in quiet woods away from it all. We just don’t get to do that often enough these days.
Anxiety disorders and spectrum divergencies are more prevalent than ever. There is a great argument for the fact that even 30 years ago, before our world was as saturated with blue light as it is now, these issues were not so common or severe. The same can be said for a wide variety of general health concerns. Unseen energies in our modern-day environment affect all living things.
The bottom line is that life, for more and more people, is out of balance.
In order to mitigate the challenges of our modern world, many of us manage our specific routines more closely and work harder than ever to balance life on a slippery scale. Yet the effects of unseen frequencies are still there.
THE HORSEMAN’S INTUITION
Pain of all sorts goes hand in hand with the life of a horse person. More than a few of our customers that have seen great results from Thera-Tree in the barn also have their own personal Thera-Trees that stay in their homes. They use them while driving, keep them at bedside, and take near the shower, as having the Thera-Tree near water seems to bring even deeper benefit. Just as similar energetic modalities like acupuncture help alleviate pain and promote relaxation, this technology acts in subtle ways on our bioelectric pathways. For many people, having the constant trickle of positive far infrared light “energy” of the device around in the home, car, or travel bag is more easily available than going to appointments and more effective than pharmaceuticals. It is making a difference in their lives and improving their wellbeing.
“The Thera-Tree helps my hip and joint pain. It decreases my fibromyalgia flares significantly. If I am without it for more than a few days, I can hardly walk. Now I’m riding some again after many years!” - J. Becker
“The fact that I could get comfortable and sleep is huge. The next day I was extra inspired to go full tilt. And I did - I haven’t been able to do that for a while.” -L. Hammerschmidt
“When I have it by my bed, my night terrors (which I have dealt with my whole life) are gone. The night terrors increased during the pandemic, and for the nights that I have the Thera-Tree next to my bed, I wake up with reduced heart rate, a "happy vibrating" feeling and no bad dreams. Life-changing!” -E. de Flamand
“The Thera-Tree has helped me more than any medicine, procedure, or doctor that I’ve seen so far. Ever since the back pain began 21 years ago after the car accident, I could only reach my knees when bending over. Touching my toes was out of the question. The second day of using the Thera-Tree, I was able to bend over and touch the ground! It was miraculous!!!” -H. Baldwin
THE CANDOR OF CHILDREN
There has been an interesting thing happening at an equine rescue called Brook Hill Farm in Forest, Virginia: The program has had one of Tad Coffin’s Thera-Trees for use with rehabilitating the troubled horses that they care for, but that isn’t the extent of what it is doing. It’s also relieving anxiety in at-risk youth (some of the personal challenges these teens manage include having learning or physical disabilities, social disadvantages, or they are survivors of abuse.) Within 5 minutes of sitting with the Thera-Tree, 93% of the kids registered a lowered heart rate. When these heart rates were tested twice, the rates were lower in 5 out of 5 instances.
Though the Thera-Tree was developed for equine therapy and originally intended for circulation out in the stable, the youth at Brook Hill have taken to requesting Tad’s unique device around them in the classroom. Since the device is wireless, compact, and never needs charging, it is a convenient and valuable asset in a busy program that relies heavily on volunteers. Using the Thera-Tree has been part of the routine at Brook Hill at since September 2019. On days the kids are in class at Brook Hill, the horses are having to wait their turn for therapy time in the Thera-Tree!
Additionally, here is a report from Equuivation Therapy & Education Center, which specializes in helping individuals with anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), where the very first Thera-Bear made his rounds. Here is what the Director wrote:
“Here is some early, unstructured anecdotal feedback after introducing the Thera-Tree and the Thera-Bear, (after getting consent)
· One client took the Thera-Tree with her to a doctors appointment and did not have a panic attack, which is a lifelong struggle for her due to a severe disorder. She said it was the first time she was able to regulate in that environment.
· Another client was able to control nervousness which positively impacted her speech patterns, while holding the Thera-Bear.
· Another client with severe ADHD and anger outbursts was able self-regulate in a tough situation and maintain control – the Thera-Bear was nearby the whole time.
· Several of my clients are now seeking out the Thera-Bear as soon as they arrive, and/or especially if they are having a rough day -– I found one of my clients sitting in the feed room by herself hugging the bear tightly because she was having a hard time functioning that day. About 15 minutes later, she was able to have her session, which was notable to me because she is not always able to overcome that.
“I suffer from trauma – hugging my Thera-Tree helps me calm down and I am able to focus. I use it more than my horse does!” -C.K. (survivor)
“Mommy it makes me feel peaceful.” – L.F. (ADHD, ASD)
THERA-BEAR
If you are curious how the Thera-Bear might ease anxiousness in your day as you snuggle the Thera-Bear, or let him sit with your old dog or on the puppy’s crate, here’s more info:
We offer “Thera-Bear” stuffed animals with the Thera-Tree technology inside them as a month-to-month rental at the rate of $185 per month. There is no long-term contract, only a monthly subscription, which can be ended at any time the unit is returned. There is an initial deposit which is fully refundable upon return.
The Thera-Tree weighs about 3 pounds so there is an element of weight that many find calming as in a weighted blanket. The technology is very durable, as it was made for horses to wear unattended, and the stuffed animal fur can be spot cleaned, so the Thera-Bear is really able to keep up with some household fun! (Creative collaboration may be possible if your child has a large stuffed animal that is already a favorite, give us a call to discuss possibilities.)
The following text is from David Whitney, a 28 year old young man who has long suffered from anxiety and depression.
"Since being given the Thera-Bear my anxiety has been greatly reduced. Actually holding and hugging the bear gives a huge sense of anxiety relief; an almost "cleansing" like feeling goes through my body. Even just having it sitting by the couch in the house has helped me to relax a lot. 100% recommend! Thank you Tad!"
THE WISDOM OF ANIMALS
If we have the benefit of having animals in our life, we have daily reminders of the simple things in life like resting in sunshine and having a nice stretch upon rising.
In the past five+ years of observing how horses react to wearing the Thera-Tree and Tad’s saddles with the same SmartRide Rx tree, it is remarkable how very positively they embrace being in the electromagnetic field of this technology and the subtle, peaceful energy frequency it emits. In stables throughout the world, anxious horses, painful horses, and horses that undergo the stress of travel are finding a way to relax and take a break when wearing the Thera-Tree.
Since most horsemen have dogs, too, we’ve been hearing anecdotes from customers whose dogs have shown improvements from being near the Thera-Tree in instances of inflammation and/or anxiety.
“My dogs will seek the Thera-Tree out for the comfort it provides.” -S. Flanigan
“Since having the Thera-Tree at home, I have noticed my dogs have more mobility, decreased arthritis pain/stiffness, reduced symptoms of a chronic disorder, and more relaxation during high stress times such as during thunderstorms, traveling, and going to the vet’s office. I have seen real results.” -H. Baldwin
“My Blue Heelers tend to be "On Guard" all of the time. After a short amount of time with the Thera-Tree, Lucy became so very chill … and has remained far more relaxed than ever.” -T. Hechter
NOW IN A THERA-BEAR FOR PETS
Tad has put the Thera-Tree technology inside a big teddy bear to see if that could be a subtle way to help everyone in the household with pain and anxiety. Since the electromagnetic field of the unit is about 9 feet around it and the Far-Infrared “light” is in the same energetic wavelength of early morning sun, it can only be beneficial. The device itself is wireless, durable, and never needs charging. The Thera-Bear is snuggly enough for sharing a dog bed or could be a whimsical friend atop a puppy crate. If you are curious to see what peace and wellbeing this companion could bring to your world, give Tad a call at (434) 989-3229 to get details. You can read more about the science behind this technology in the Science section of this website.
“There have been fireworks the last 2 out of three evenings and thunderstorms last night. Skippy has been beside himself, a complete nervous wreck all weekend, until we got to family’s house where there is a Thera-Bear. He put himself next to the Bear on the couch and stayed with us during the storm. He just settled with the Bear and quit panting. It was really incredible. This dog is always hiding in the bathroom during storms or fireworks. It’s always that way, and nothing I’ve tried has helped him relax like he did on the couch with the Thera-Bear.” -Karen Fessler
