20 Years ago, too many people considered popping an over the counter pain pill as a “safe” way to relieve pain.
But in 1998 an entrepreneur and high-school basketball coach teamed up to confront the danger head on. Tim Flatt saw the danger first hand when he noticed a sharp increase in young athletes using pills to relieve pain. At that time, though, the existing pain relief alternatives were NOT great. They smelled bad, were loaded with harmful chemicals, gave off uncomfortable hot and cold sensations, and (worse) didn’t even relieve pain!
So, Tim met with his longtime friend and talented business partner, Ron, and they both became convinced that there had to be a better way to relieve pain. They decided that they wanted to do the work that it would take to make a new option available. They pitched their vision to a talented chemist and Tim and Ron Co-Founded Real Time Pain Relief.
The Mission of Real Time Pain Relief
Their goal was to create the perfect topical pain relief option, so that consuming pills was no longer the only go-to option for fast pain relief. Since Real Time Pain Relief would be used by friends and family, there were several high standards that all of their future products would have to meet. It would have to:
-Smell Great, so that it could be used by the young and the old anywhere, anytime.
-Work Fast- life happens in real time and no one has time for pain to slow them down.
-Utilize Nature’s Ingredients and Avoid Harsh Chemicalslike: NSAIDs, parabens, SLS, and dye, to create pain relief that people could feel good about using andabout sharing with those that they love.
Real Time Pain Relief’s flagship product was, Original PAIN Cream. It was immediately shared with friends and family, and everyone that applied the first batch of Real Time Pain Relief declared that it was the besttopical pain relief they had ever tried… Well, everyone but the Founders.
It wasn’t that they didn’t think it was the best, they just believed that it could be improved; so, they committed to always make Real Time Pain Relief formulas in small batches to continually tweak them into their most refined versions– a practice in the pursuit of perfection that is still carried on today.
“What’s humbling for us”, says Real Time Pain Relief Founder, Tim Flatt, “is not just that our original mission of giving our friends and family a better way to relieve pain has been accomplished, but the stories that pour in from Real Time Pain Relief customers. All the time we hear from people whose lives have been changed because they now have pain relief that they can count on, and that they actually feel good about using. To us, that means that our family business is a part of positive change in the world. And, that, like our products, is something that we are happy to pass on to our children.”
20 Years of Perfecting and Still Going
“Our focus is to perfect topical pain relief and give our customers daily life-style products that they feel good about letting their family use.” - Real Time Pain Relief Co-Founder and CEO Ron Snodgrass.
With the expansion of the products available on RTPR.com, that is just what Real Time Pain Relief is doing. The Real Time Pain Relief family has expanded into a wide variety of targeted topical pain relief products (think hand, feet, and athletics) and they’ve just recently launched a lifestyle brand- Nujuvena.
Nujuvena offers daily care products such as supplements, face creams, and more that live up to the original mission of Real Time Pain Relief. To This day, all Real Time Pain Relief and Nujuvena products are made with nature’s ingredients and avoid harsh chemicals like: NSAIDs, parabens, SLS, and dye.
Part of the Solution
Now, challenging the accepted norms of pain relief is more important than ever. With a nation going through a massive opioid crisis that claims nearly 200 lives a day, a safe, fast-acting topical pain relief that can be counted on is just what the doctor ordered… or should have!
“Our family is just really grateful to have found a way to serve the public through our mission. Every day we go to work looking for the best ways help people enjoy their lives more. The right products at the right time have the power to do that.”
-Ron Snodgrass-
Through the last 20 years, Real Time Pain Relief has given people a better way to relieve their pain. The focus of this family business is to continue a tradition of making excellent products available for happy, healthy lifestyles.
Real Time Pain Relief didn’t invent topical pain relief, but the last 20 years have been spent on perfecting it.
