21-Day Pilot Research Program​
For First Responders
Welcome to our 21-Day Pilot Research Program, a Research Project of Operation: Stress Shield! OSS is our answer to what we perceived as an unmet need in our first responder population – one we knew we had a unique skill set to address.
In 2024, when Hurricane Helene hit Western North Carolina, it gave us a huge wake-up call on how urgently a program like this was needed in our community. My wife and I saw first-hand how taxed First Responders and Search and Rescue/Recovery workers (many of whom were Veterans too!) were once we opened the doors of our Natural Health Clinic to help the community in the aftermath of the storm.
First Responders are on the front lines when anything in society goes “south” (accidents, sickness, violence, disaster, etc) and most of the time, they are chronically pushed to their limits physically, mentally and emotionally. They are the ones holding it all together when the society around them is falling apart.
OSS is specifically designed for first responders whose daily stress is far more than average. Accidents, injuries, surgeries, and traumas just don’t go away on their own. Most of the time they get stuck in the body, held in the nervous system and as a result, relationships, family, health, and mental state all suffer. Just talking about it doesn’t seem to cut it either…
OSS gives you tools to regulate and mitigate stress, pain and overall tension with easy to use, natural tools that you can mix and match, use at home or on the go. These exercises give you life-long tools that you will go back to again and again for relief.Â
Join our 21-Day Pilot Research Program to get measurable and immediate relief. This will also help us gain valuable real-time data to show potential donors and sponsors the impact this program can have. We know what we offer works. Your participation and feedback will help us demonstrate this fact with real-time results.
Requirements to Participate:
- No equipment needed. These are all body-weight exercises. Workout indoors or outdoors.
- Must be a current or retired Fire Fighter (we will open up other Pilot programs shortly so join the mailing list to be informed of when those launch).
- Commit to completing 21 days of SELF-PACED workouts within 30 days. Each workout lasts about 20 minutes (certainly take more time if you have it).
- Commit to leaving daily feedback that only takes a few minutes.
