Frank Osbourne (pictured right), a former resident of Conshohocken and now a resident of West Conshohocken was watching the NFC Championship game when spotted the medical instrument he invented being used to help get the injured San Francisco 49er’s quarterback back in the game. His role as the inventor of HawkGrips, precision-engineered therapy instruments made to detect and treat soft-tissue injuries, was suddenly in conflict with his life-long love of the Philadelphia Eagles.

Numerous professional teams use HawkGrips, including the Eagles, Sixers, Phillies, and the Union, but you can find it used by physical therapists in Conshohocken such as NovaCare Rehabilitation, Penn Therapy & Fitness, ATI, and Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy, along with Healing Hands Chiropractic and Wellness Center.

You can watch HawkGrips in action below.
