The Relief Mate is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
What This Means for You
When you click on a product link on this website and make a purchase on Amazon, we may earn a small commission — at no additional cost to you. The price you pay remains exactly the same whether you use our link or go directly to Amazon.
Why We Use Affiliate Links
Running this website requires time, research, and resources. Affiliate commissions help us keep The Relief Mate free, independent, and regularly updated with honest, PT-reviewed content. This is how we keep the lights on without charging you anything.
Our Promise to You
Affiliate relationships never influence our recommendations. Every product featured on The Relief Mate is selected based on:
- Clinical relevance — Does it actually work for the condition?
- Safety — Is it safe for home use without professional supervision?
- Real-world effectiveness — Would I recommend this to my own patients?
- Value — Is it worth the price?
If a product doesn’t meet these standards, it won’t appear on this site — regardless of commission rates. We are a health-first website, not a sales platform.
Who Reviews Our Content?
All content on The Relief Mate is created and reviewed by Hamdy El-Sayed, PT — a licensed Physical Therapist with a Bachelor’s degree in Physical Therapy from MTI University, Cairo, Egypt. Learn more on our About page.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR Part 255 guidelines on the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising.
