One of the trends we’ve seen among our chiropractic clients is an increase in sales of fitness equipment like bands, foam rollers, and exercise balls. If you want to cash in on this home workout trend and fill a need for your patients, we can help! One of our most popular items and our favorite choice for home fitness is the Theraband CLX .

In these stressful, difficult times, people are prioritizing comfort and a good night’s sleep. Have you seen any of these trends firsthand?

Unlike many wholesale resistance bands, the Theraband CLX comes individually packaged for easy resale. Each band comes with instructions, and the retail box also has a QR code that leads to an online portal. From there, patients can download an app full of exercises and instructions. The packaging looks professional, and the band itself will make it easier for your patients to maintain their health. Offering the Theraband CLX is truly a win- win.
