For nearly 40 years, we’ve been manufacturing and supplying the highest quality manual and physical therapy equipment for your clinical use. During this time, we’ve also seen a growing demand for therapy and fitness tools for in-home exercise programs, and we acknowledge the importance your referrals have had with the increasing use of our self-care products by your clients and patients.   
 
Whether you’re a personal trainer, physical therapist, Pilates instructor or a chiropractor, we’re grateful for these referrals. When your patients and clients walk into our showroom or order products over the phone, they often mention you by name, providing praise for your services.
 
By recommending self-care strategies or prescribing home exercise to your clients, it shows that you’re genuinely concerned about their health and wellness. Ultimately, our products supplement the critical work that you do in the clinic or studio, and we’re proud to be your trusted resource for these solutions.  
 

Credibility & Safety

Over the years, we’ve been privileged to form solid relationships with numerous health professionals who are world-renowned experts. Many of our therapy and fitness tools are the result of these exclusive partnerships, which include prominent names like Robin McKenzie, Adriaan Louw, Eric Franklin, Lauren Roxburgh and many others.
 
What does this mean for you? By working with those who are leaders in their field, we are able to bring you innovative and dependable products you can trust. Their passion, like ours, is to create solutions that play an essential role in achieving the goals you set for your clients.

In addition, you can be assured that our products are designed with the highest safety standards. Items are manufactured with considerations for latex, flammability and other concerns. And many also come with information on operation instructions, safety precautions, contraindications and product care.
 

Proven Effectiveness

Evidence-based outcomes continue to suggest that self-care plays an important role in regaining healthy musculoskeletal function. For example, one study on osteoarthritis of the knee evaluated the effectiveness of clinically-applied treatment that included exercise and manual therapy versus a home-based exercise program.

The results indicated that, in addition to a reasonable schedule of clinical visits for the application of manual therapy and supervised exercise, a home exercise program provides important benefits such as an increase in the average distance of a six-minute walk.¹ In addition, a home-based component for patients with ankle sprains has been found to increase attendance at clinic appointments and intervention completion rates.²

Whether you are recommending a Knee Glide^® for knee replacement rehabilitation, Robin McKenzie’s Treat Your Own Back™ book for back pain, Handii™ Healthy Hands for hand therapy or any of our foam rollers for myofascial release and mobility, conservative care products increase patient adherence and improve the effectiveness of your practice.
