Meet us at the Victoria Health Show
“Look younger, be sexier, feel better ... than you’ve ever felt before.”
While this may be the mantra of Victoria’s 2012 Health Show,it’s also what
Diane Regan has been delivering to the customers of Triangle Healing
for years.
This year will mark Triangle’s 23rd year at the Victoria Health Show and they
are as excited about it as ever.
“We love participating in this popular show.We’re able to introduce incredible
products to people who might otherwise have not come across them. It’s a place to
connect with people and help them achieve their health goals.Whether it’s looking
younger,living pain-free,or elevating their
wellness and fitness level,Triangle is uniquely
suited to connect people with solutions,”
says Regan.
One of the stars of this year’s show will
no doubt be the Sonic Vibration Exerciser.
This is a revolutionary product that is taking
the wellness industry by storm.This advanced
system works with sonic vibration to move
blocked energy,increase bone and muscle
mass,remove blockages in your lymphatic
system and increase the potential of the
body’s cells.“We’re hearing about amazing
results from everyone from highly fit athletes
to people who have been coping with
chronic pain for years.Ten minutes a
day on the Sonic Vibration Exerciser gives
a similar cardiovascular, musculoskeletal
and hormonal workout as an hour of exercise,”
explains Regan.

Another system that has helped literally hundreds of Triangle’s customers get
relief from pain and discomfort is the Barefoot Science Foot Strengthening System.
This system helps to restore feet to a healthy,pain-free state.Whether you’re suffering
from sore feet (bunions or hammer toe), hips or back pain, Barefoot Science will
help you walk away from pain. “We love fitting people with the Barefoot Science
insoles.It’s such an effective system,people can feel the difference immediately and
we instantly create very happy customers,”says Regan,noting,“the Barefoot Science
insoles are a fraction of the price of orthotics.”Triangle is sweetening that already
good price by offering a $5 in-store coupon for Barefoot Science products at the
Health Show.
Other featured products will include the new German-made Bellicon Mini Trampoline—
one of the best ways to get an indoor whole body workout without putting stress on
your joints.The Circulator Foot Massage Mat will also be on hand.This little mat is the
ultimate stress reliever, improving your health in just two minutes per day.
“We’ll have coupons,and free samples,and a contest to enter along with product
demonstrations,” says Regan. “Our booth is always full of exciting products just
waiting to be touched, tried, and explained.”
