"After almost 20 years as a Fire Service Occupational Health and Fitness Coordinator, I have found a product that actually places the consideration
of Fire Fighter's injuries as important as elite athletes.
This is a product that was designed not only for Professional Athletes but also with the specific needs of Fire Fighters in mind. Each year, approximately 100,000 firefighter injuries are reported in the United States. At some point in a fire fighter’s career, they will have a major musculoskeletal injury. Yet, Fire Fighters are expected to work for 25-30+ years, must be ready to respond day or night to any emergency wearing 50+ pounds of equipment; and more often than not doing so with some kind of joint or musculoskeletal pain. Therefore, a challenge for NuBuild was creating a product to assist in keeping Fire Fighters on the job by relieving their pain.
NuBuild listened to the needs of Fire Fighter. They even delayed final production to make sure all the Fire Fighter’s needs were addressed. Fire Fighters now have a product that is in a handy to use 1.oz or 2 oz container, easy to apply, works quickly, does not make them smell like an injured athlete, and is strong enough to provide
pain relief throughout the length of their work shift."
