Biography of The 10 Minute Cushion

About The Inventor – Mr. Sandy J. Levy, RMT

1995 – Sandy graduated from the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy. Sandy then spent many hours & years with patients researching/testing the right formula and technique to keep his patients flexible to achieve their most optimal level of performance.

Sandy has spent over the past 17 years, acquiring expertise and increasing his passion in helping his patients. These include advanced techniques in Cranio-Sacral Therapy, Myofascial Release, Bio-Mechanics & Advanced TMJ Assessment.

2003 – Under the tutelage of Mr. Kevin Honsberger; owner of  Honsberger Physiotherapy and Sports Sciences International; Sandy developed a Bio-Mechanic approach to Massage Therapy which led to the promotion of Director of Massage Therapy Services.

2006 – Sandy attended the 4 day Golf Summit with “Titleist Performance Institute” learning from Dr. Greg Rose & Dave Philips.

2008 – Attended “The Canadian Golf Forum- The Art & Science of Golf Instruction” presented by Sport Sciences International.

2009 – Sandy became inflicted with a Spinal Cord Condition. Sandy was left with a tremor and loss of his median nerve on the left side. It was reported from numerous MRIs that there was no stability left in the neck and that C2-T1 discs were to progressively compress the spinal cord. Surgery was the only option, was extremely risky, and would not resolve the symptoms more then 60%.

This led to the retirement from Honsberger Physiotherapy & Sport Sciences International, as well as a full employment as a Registered Massage Therapist.

Sandy decided, at that moment, with all his knowledge and expertise he could find another way to survive. That’s when he decided to research how to unload the repetitive strain from the front of his body, thus leading to the release of the compression in his neck as well as correct his posture and bring his spine back to optimal health and performance!

2010 – After many trials of other products on the market; that only led to an increase in his symptoms; Sandy developed The “10 Minute Cushion”. This new device allowed him to safely stretch the soft-tissue of the spine, reset the shoulders, stretch the chest & abdominal muscles and allows gravity to re-align the spine to its most optimal position in 10 minutes a day. That is when Sandy decided he was going to make this device available to everyone and priced and an affordable rate.

2011 – After the development of The 10 Minute Cushion^TM, Sandy had to test the device on other people not just himself. Sandy began to volunteer his time at over 12 golf corporate tournaments a year with over 20+ golfers/tournament. After seeing the immediate results on the enhancement of rotation, Sandy then asked some of the Golfers to be tested regularly to see if the results were replicated; and they were every time.

Sandy used Titelist Performance Institutes test for rotation. The seated rotation test was used and a goniometer was used a spinal level T6 each time to compare the increase in rotation. Approximately 60 golfers were tested and each golfer after 10 days received 8 degrees more rotation.

Present – Sandy is continuing to test golfers. The test that is being done now is between the relationship of km/h and swing speed to distance in yardage after 10 minutes on the cushion and it efficiency in consistent performance.
