A pair of business owners from Brick and Point Pleasant, including a physical therapist who practices in Brick, landed a deal on the hit television show \u201cShark Tank,\u201d which aired Friday night on ABC.<\/p>\n

David Restiano, of Brick Township, and Dr. Dan Staats, of Point Pleasant whose practice is located on Brick Boulevard, convinced billionaire Mark Cuban to invest in their product, Sorsoap<\/a>, which includes a muscle scraping device combined with a special type of soap that relieves pain and rejuvenates muscles after a workout.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs these bones get older, our bodies just don\u2019t recover as quickly,\u201d said Staats in his pitch to the \u2018sharks.\u2019 \u201cSorsoap<\/a> smells amazing, lathers wonderfully, and leaves you refreshed and recharged.\u201d<\/p>\n

As several of the panelists tried the device, most agreed the product would be best-suited being sold direct to consumer, so potential customers could see an example online and try it for themselves. A few others disagreed, saying retail sales in specialized shops could be the key to success. While some of the \u2018sharks\u2019 bowed out in the context of an investment, all were complimentary of the product, with Robert Herjavic heaping praise upon the device, but declining to invest because he prefers companies with more than one product for sale. A few \u2018outs\u2019 did not deter the duo, however.<\/p>\n

Restiano, a lifelong athlete, and Staats became business partners seemingly out of fate.<\/p>\n

\u201cDavid was a patient of mine first, then he became a friend, then he became a business partner,\u201d Staats said, explaining the company and how the product works. \u201cIt increases fibroblast proliferation which leads to collagen synthesis. All that means is that is that it encourages tissue remodeling. You can put it in your pocket, go for a run, and if you get soar, go to that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why I go to this guy for help,\u201d Restiano, a graphic designer by trade, chimed in. \u201cDan\u2019s worked wonders on my body, but I can\u2019t bring him home with me.\u201d<\/p>\n

The two created on the product together, which works in about 90 seconds and sells for $23. They earned $70,000 in just the last quarter alone.<\/p>\n

For Cuban, the proof was in the pudding.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly, my neck has been killing me,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s the reason I\u2019m gonna give you an offer \u2013 it fixed my damn neck!\u201d<\/p>\n

Cuban and the two locals settled on an investment of $100,000 for 20 percent of the company.<\/p>\n
