FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

The Clinical Compass®…On the Move with Performance Health!
The Clinical Compass®/CCGPP has an exciting new special announcement. Allow us to
introduce you to our newest corporate partner, Performance Health – maker of TheraBand® and Biofreeze® products. Performance Health and its CEO, Marshall Dahneke,
recently committed resources to support CCGPP and its mission “to promote, protect, and
support chiropractic's evolving relationship between the patient, the provider and
evidence-based research.”
“The work of CCGPP is critical to establishing chiropractic as the leader for spinal
manipulation. It will allow doctors of chiropractic to translate evidence into clinical
practice and grow strong and healthy practices,” explains Dahneke. “In fact, we feel it is
so important that Performance Health has put together an incentive package that will help
doctors of chiropractic increase their bottom lines while supporting the important work of
CCGPP.”
Any doctor who donates $1,000 to CCGPP (that’s just $84 a month for 12 months) will
receive a 43% discount on the Thera-Band® Rehab & Wellness Station. That’s a savings
of almost $750. Those who purchase the station will also receive two free boxes of
Thera-Band Professional Resistance Bands in Red and Green (the most often used rehab
colors) packaged individually for reselling to patients. This can provide your office with
up to $300 in revenue (15 bands in each box, resale price of up to $10 per band). What
this means is that a doctor who participates in the program immediately recoups his/her
$1,000 investment in CCGPP and begins increasing the bottom line of his/her practice as
soon as the first patient uses the Thera-Band® Rehab & Wellness Station.
According to CCGPP Chairman Dr. Tom Augat, "In a modern day health care world
where ‘Evidence-Based Medicine’, ‘Medical Necessity’ and ‘Guidelines’ are the
buzzwords and framework within which doctors of chiropractic must practice, CCGPP
provides the tools and the scientific validation these doctors need to provide optimal care
and outcomes for their patients and to overturn insurers' unreasonable denials. Certainly,
funding is the critical element to carry out this work for the profession. Partnering with a
company like Performance Health is a perfect synergy since both of our organizations
promote the best in evidence based care through education and research. The entire
chiropractic profession is fortunate to have companies like Performance Health
supporting our continued growth and development.”
We wish to thank Marshall Dahneke and Performance Health for their generous support
and encourage individual doctors within the profession to visit www.ccgpp.org and use
the online donation form to take the next step in enhancing patient care and increasing
practice revenues by making a contribution to The Clinical Compass®/CCGPP.

decisions. The mission of CCGPP is to promote, protect, and support chiropractic's evolving
