About The Founder: Lillie Kelley-Mozsy Blame it on the cod-liver oil I and my siblings took when anyone caught a cold growing up, at this stage in my life I try to avoid medicine. In fact, I haven’t taken medicine in 21 years. I’m holistic, I do no medicine I’m probably one of the few people that if you test my blood you wouldn’t find any medicine in it. I use ice and heat instead and other holistic remedies instead. I was born in 1947 and I have always lived an active life style, and I choose to remain active in spite of my age and body stiffness. I believe if you want to remain active and holistic at the same time, you need to have a proactive plan. My plan was to continue being active. When I turned 50 I started competing in the Senior Olympics. My coach told me to warm my core and my joints before running, and to use ice wraps after a run. There were so many choices on the market for wraps and pain relief, but I could not find any that were multifunctional and holistic. Therefore, I decided to invent the WhatEver PocKits,™ kit a detachable reconfigurable pocket assemblage. The components of the kit can be used individually or configured into a garment to help ease pain naturally. My inventive talents are the direct result of watching Mom and Dad take care of me and my siblings. I remember my Mom telling me to stuff my hot potato which she had prepared for my lunch into my coat pockets, so I could warm my hands as I walked to school in the winter. I remember my Dad taking an old box and make us banjos and guitars. He used leftover wood, (from building our attic)and old roller skates to make us skateboards. Robert Kelley Sr. and Louis Kelley believed where there is a will there is a way. I believe in this same philosophy.

Dog Owners And Their Active Social Life

The Active Social Life Of Dog Owners

Polls show people with dogs have a more active social life than people without dogs. Dog owners trust others who have dog’s more than just random people walking on the street and are more likely to go up and interact with them.

Dogs, which take part in their owners outdoor exercise activities, make it easy to have an active social life. For example when owners and their dogs play in parks and participate in doggie play dates, they have a chance to form bonds with other dogs and other people.

Single Dog Owners And Dating

Walking your canine in dog parks on a regular basis has a very high chance to set you up on a date, with another dog lover. Normally, people are a lot more open toward dog owners, and the more dogs you have, the better. It gives others a reason to stop and talk to you.

Ten Ways Dogs Can Help You Make Friends

People who love animals tend to bond easily even if they don’t have a pet of their own. If you do have one, it can provide plenty of ways to meet new friends. The best part is, you’ll already have something in common so conversations may flow a little bit easier in the beginning.

Benefits Of Having A Pet, Pets

Dog Ownership

Dog Ownership And Germs

Dog ownership has a lot of benefits but the one that is most surprising is people with dogs seem to get ill less frequently and less severely than people with no pets.

In the US we have become so fearful of germs that we tend to disinfect just about everything. The truth of the matter is disinfecting is making us sicker; since our bodies are exposed to fewer germs it is difficult to build up immunities to germs.

Dogs are covered in germs! Having a dog in the house means more bacteria enters the home.  The germs are especially high on pillowcases. When we are exposed to germs our bodies can build up immunities to them.

Dog Ownership Enhances The  Immune System

Dogs are more likely than other house pets to beg for a walk or a game outside. This encourages owners to frequently take a walk or exercise with their dogs. A 2006 study published in the American Journal of Preventative Medicine found dog owners were more likely to do mild to moderate physical activity during the week than non-dog owners.

Taking a moderately-paced walk for between 30 and 45 minutes daily was found to increase the amount of immune system cells that were present in the body.

Here is the link to the study.

Walking Enhances Your Dog’s Immune System

Walking daily  is one of the cornerstones for a good immune system for your pet. A daily walk or daily outside play with a ball or favorite activity stimulates a dog’s lymphatic system which is part of the immune system. Daily exercise goes a long way toward keeping your dog’s mental attitude positive, and enables the immune system to work properly. It calms your dog and helps reduce stress that may affect their immune system.

Therapeutic Garments-Wraps

Kelley’s  Therapeutic Garments-Wraps can be used for pain. The majority of our products are made using a patented method to create multi-pocket assemblages called WhatEver PocKits®. You can buy a  kit to ease your pain or your pet’s pain. Yes, we do have therapeutic garments for pets too. The kits help you ease pain naturally. Our WhatEver PocKits® are ideal for therapeutic, rehabilitative and general uses. They are proudly made in the USA. Our mission is to bring attention through our therapeutic garments to alternative methods of dealing with pain and keeping the body strong, vibrant and healthy.

To use our therapeutic garments for pain relief, you can just insert ice or heat packs into the pockets of the assemblages. If you want to use our therapeutic garments for rehabilitative purposes, you can insert exercise weights into the pockets of the assemblages. You can also just put in things you’ll need while maintaining an active lifestyle such as water bottles, sports drinks, cell phones and more.

When To Use Our Therapeutic Garments-Wraps  As A Cooling Kit?

Outdoor activities, especially those that you participate in during the hottest times of the day and year, could lead you to overheat, become fatigued, perspire excessively, and more.

Cool compresses or other cooling devices can relieve many of the symptoms related to overheating.  It’s a common and accepted medical practice to add cooling elements like ice to ease body discomforts.

Our therapeutic garments provide places for you to include these elements with ease so you can continue being your active self without stopping.

If you are already injured, the optimum time to cool the area is immediately after the incident occurs. Our therapeutic garments, combined with cold packs, can relieve muscular discomfort caused by physical activities that require the extended use of the arms and legs.

When to Use Our Therapeutic Garments-Wraps  With Heat?

Over time, the value of heat treatments for easing or preventing pain in muscle tissue has been well proven. Muscles that tend to cramp, for example, can benefit from the application of heat before strenuous exercise. This enriches the blood supply to the appropriate area. When you have localized injury or pain, which may be caused by torn muscles and connective tissues, our therapeutic garments can provide heat to the area. This will speed up and enhance the healing process.

Other Uses for Our Therapeutic Garments-Wraps

Our therapeutic garments can help you when participating in outdoor activities by being a great location to keep things you need such as water and hydrating fluids. They will remain cold. You can also insert cell phones, keys, glasses or other items into the pockets of our kits.

Wraps For People and Pets

Wraps For People and Pets

Wraps For People and Pets: Our therapeutic  wraps are designed for people and their pets. The  wraps are trimmed with reflective material, so you and your pet can be seen by moving traffic, when out walking at night.

To use as a cooling  wrap simply insert the ice/heat packs into the pockets of the wrap.

You and your pet can now be seen out in public without wearing a medical looking wrap.

When Should Ice Be Used?
For the greatest benefits, use ice after exercise and not before. In the Journal of Sport Rehabilitation (Feb/1994), a study on the ankle was conducted to see if ice should be used on an injury before exercise. The finding showed decreased temperature reduces the joint  sensitivity and thereby alters joint position sense, exposing the joint to possible injury. In conclusion, cooling a body part prior to athletic performance is  “probably a bad idea.”

It was once believed the use of ice was only beneficial in the first 24 hours after an injury. Recent scientific studies have shown the benefits of ice over the long term. During the initial stage of an acute injury (within 24-48 hours), or during the chronic stage (after 48 hours) ice can be very beneficial in promoting wellness.
