Tiger Tail SMRT™ Stretch & Flex
A Game Changer for Employee Productivity, Workplace Safety, and Team Morale
by Julie Zuleger, Ph. D., C.S.C.S., LMT, CPT, NASM-CES, RYT 500
Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD) account for approximately 30% of all workers’ compensation costs in the workplace and are the largest category of injuries in the workplace according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Well-documented clinical research concludes 70-85% of all pain comes from little, tiny knots in the muscles (known as trigger points). Back pain, foot pain, forearm pain, headaches, and other muscular pain cause employee absences and reduced productivity. We all know from personal experience that when you’re in pain, you are highly distracted and cannot perform at your best.
Regular stretching and flexibility training, combined with Tiger Tail Self- Myofascial Release Techniques (SMRT) can help reduce pain and common injuries to muscles such as:
- Muscular strains
- Lower back pain
- Tendonitis and bursitis
- Neck and shoulder pain
- Repetitive strain injuries such as carpal tunnel
- Sprains and strains
- Fatigue and discomfort
- Soreness and stiffness
Benefits of Tiger Tail Self-Myofascial Release Techniques (SMRT) through muscle compression
To achieve the many health and muscle recovery benefits of Tiger Tail SMRT, the most popular and simplest technique is foam rolling. The compression from foam rolling warms up the muscles and fascia tissues. Muscle compression with tools or self-massage is easily done by applying light pressure to warm up the muscles and fascia, then increasing pressure and repetition for myofascial release. Muscle compression benefits include:
- Restoring normal muscle function
- Increasing blood flow
- Increasing range-of-motion
- Improving nutrition to the muscles
More than stretching and flexing
A recent study (Goldenhar & Stafford, 2015) showed that the benefits of a stretch and flex program go beyond warming up the body. Participation in the Tiger Tail SMRT Stretch & Flex program can:
- Build camaraderie
- Promote collaboration
- Increase communication
- Team building
- Improve safety outcomes
It’s important to note that specific exercises and stretches will vary depending on the individual’s needs and the type of work they do. It is recommended to consult a professional to create a tailored stretch and flex program that is appropriate for the individual or company’s needs.

Case Study: MacDonald-Miller
Design-Build Contractor Finds Success with the Tiger Tail 18″ Original.
MacDonald-Miller Facility Solutions is a full-service design-build mechanical contractor specializing in the medical and biotech industries. With over 1000 employees in over 11 locations in the Pacific Northwest, injury prevention is a top priority for MacDonald-Miller.

Prevention is the Key To Success
In physically demanding professions, there is a high emphasis on reducing or eliminating “recordable” injuries and claims. OSHA defines a recordable injury or claims as one that causes an employee to receive medical care beyond first aid, hospitalization, job reassignment, or duty restriction. At MacDonald-Miller, the primary cause of recordable injuries and claims are muscle strain and over-extension, with back injuries being the most problematic.
Lee Pyfrom, Director of Safety, recognized incorporating additional preventative measures would go a long way toward increasing employee physical agility and health, as well as further reducing on-the-job injuries.
Solutions to Reduce Recordable Injuries – The Deciding Moment
In 2019 Pyfrom attended a regional safety event where muscle rolling was being demonstrated in conjunction with stretching exercises that would increase mobility and prevent muscle injury. Though the information was met with slight skepticism by Pyfrom, he was pleasantly surprised to experience first-hand evidence of the claim after participating in the demonstration.
Pyfrom purchased 100 of 18” Tiger Tail original rolling muscle massagers to incorporate myofascial release and muscle rolling into the MacMiller Stretch and Flex pre-shift program. “Adding muscle rolling with the 18” Original Tiger Tail to our pre-shift Stretch and Flex Program was successful, resulting in a decrease in back injuries,” Pyfrom said. The key to success with employee adoption was to demonstrate the tool within the context of the MacMiller Stretch and Flex Program.
From 2020 to the present MacDonald-Miller’s implementation of muscle rolling achieved the following:
- Recordable injuries dropped 67%
- Recordable injuries fell from four (4) per year to ONLY one (1) injury in four (4) years total.
- Bottom-line savings: $77,900 since implementing Tiger Tail rollers into its programs, saving an average cost of $5,000 per injury
Pyfrom believes these savings will continue to increase as the adoption of muscle rolling across company divisions expands. Currently, it is being implemented in key sectors and is planned to expand to office staff as well as other departments within the company.
Future plans include:
- Adding demonstration videos produced by Tiger Tail USA for employee reference
- T-1000 massage guns for muscle relief stations
Conclusion
When asked what Pyfrom would like to highlight about using Tiger Tail USA muscle recovery tools, he had this to say, “Being a safety professional, I‘m always looking for something that will make a positive impact in regard to injury prevention, and in my 20 years experience this has been one of the most successful campaigns I have been a part of that has made a positive difference in preventing back injuries.”
