Focus Physical Therapy - December 2024/January 2025

If you have ever had to migrate from the bed to the couch, chances are you are either a dog with bad gas or your spouse has a snoring problem. While we have no sophisticated technological solution for the former, a new anti-snoring pillow may help dampen the effects of snoring. The Motion Pillow is a promising solution to an age-old problem and was even awarded a Best of Innovation award at CES 2024. You are probably thinking, “People have had pillows forever. How can a pillow be innovative?” Well, this pillow utilizes AI technology, an inflatable airbag, and a companion app, which work together to reduce the amount and volume of users’ snoring. Here is how it works. Buzzwords to Put You to Sleep These days, every product advertises some sort of AI integration. The difference is that with the Motion Pillow, integrated AI actually does something helpful. The Motion Pillow is accompanied by the Motion System, a separate appliance that sits near a user’s bed and wirelessly connects to the pillow. The Motion System listens in while you sleep, using AI to determine whether the sounds it hears are your snores or other audio interference. If it detects snoring, it will activate the inflatable airbag inside the pillow to lift your head, applying tension and opening your airway. According to 10minds, SNORE NO MORE The Innovative Motion Pillow

which is based in Seoul, South Korea, this automatic detection and inflation reduces snoring. The company claims that 93% of its study participants experienced a reduction in snoring and a 44% decrease in snoring time. Custom Comfort If you are worried about an AI snuffing out your snoring, you’ll be relieved to know that the Motion Pillow has a companion app. The app measures your sleep time, how long you snore, and how long the airbag is inflated each night, but it also lets you customize how much the pillow inflates. If you are interested, you can buy your very own Motion Pillow for just $699.99.

The biggest compliment you can give us is referring friends and family. Thank you for all of your referrals and keep them coming! We love our clients!

“After two back surgeries, almost 5 months spent in hospitals and skilled nursing facilities, I was still bound to a walker and wheelchair. When I started my PT with Focus Physical Therapy, Julian set up goals for my 24 PT sessions to be walking without any aid, driving my car, and taking care of myself on my own. And, all my goals were met by the end of my PT program with Focus. I am going to continue with more PT to improve my stability, quality of walking, and increase my strength and durability. Thank you to Julian and his team: Junoe, Gerardo, and Allyssa, and the ladies at the front desk. Really great team.” –Sava N.

"I went to PT because of my lower back. After PT sessions, pain has been reduced. Also, I’m able to walk farther than before. Thank you!” –John T.
