(Portland, OR) - In 2007, two-time PGA TOUR champion Ben Crane requested a Major Medical Exemption from TOUR competition due to lower back problems, a condition which had plagued his entire career. After trying many different therapies, he sought the advice of nationally renowned natural physician Dr. Mark Stengler, founder of the LaJolla Whole Health Center in San Diego, CA. Dr. Stengler worked with Crane, creating a unique supplement to increase Ben's flexibility and reduce his back pain. This product was a specially designed natural supplement promoting optimal range of motion and natural disc hydration - two important requirements for all healthy golfers.

After a regimen of Stengler's natural supplement, Crane rejoined the TOUR in 2008 and recorded four top-ten finishes, including a T6 finish at the Players Championship, and earned more than $1.4 million. This year, after just five events, Crane is having his best start in his eight-year PGA Tour career. "Dr. Stengler's supplement helped revive my game and we spent a lot of time together in an effort to build a natural supplement for the amateur player who suffers from restricted range of motion and muscle pain following a round of golf," Crane noted. "And FlexXL is the result of that collaboration. I want the everyday player to have the same natural supplements which allowed me to resume my playing career."

Crane and Dr. Stengler next collaborated with Steve Wynne, former Adidas America, Inc. CEO. Together they founded PLAY AWAY LLC, based in Portland, Oregon, and began manufacturing FlexXL for use by the golfing public.

FlexXL, formulated specifically for golfers, features a proprietary mix of glucosamine, collagen, tumeric, and ginger root, plus the muscle-relaxing properties of magnesium. It is an all-natural nutritional supplement targeting golfer's joints and connective tissues. "FlexXL will make playing golf fun again for everyone suffering from the same joint and back pain that I experienced", boasts Crane.

FlexXL is now available for purchase at www.playawayxl.com. Nationwide retail distribution is scheduled for late 2009.

Located in Portland, Oregon, Play Away, LLC is the manufacturer of FlexXL, the high-performance natural joint supplement for active golfers.
