The Sylo-pen is developed as a tool for physiotherapists to help break up adhesions in the muscles and connective tissue in the body creating more suppleness and reduce pain. You can see immediate result. It reduces pain in the joints of the therapist and gives a surprisingly quick result. Treatment with the Sylo-pen is considered less painful than dry needling and manual therapy. The Sylo-pen is generally meant to be used by professionals but as long as good instruction is given by the professional therapist the Sylo-pen can be used by consumers (patients) as well in the home setting
