Who is Niagara Therapy UK?
Founded in the late 1940’s Niagara is one of the largest manufacturers of therapeutic massage products in the world.
The Principle
Massage itself is one of the old forms of human therapy. Safe, non-invasive and instantly soothing, there have been over the centuries, numerous attempts to devise a mechanical or automated approach which can deliver the same benefits but without the skill, time and physical work which massage tends to be.
Most massages work on a piston like hammering motion while this may have the effect of stimulating the muscle and tissue but the jolting and rattling is likely to cancel out any benefit achieved.
In contrast Cyclo-massage the unique therapy in all Niagara Therapy products works on an elliptical movement. It operates like a gyroscope creating a subtle, soothing, cycloidal, instead of just jarring, vibration.
The Idea
In Canada’s coal mines in the 1930’s, William Wettlaufer had invented a new machine to sort various grades of coal. The system worked but William was more interested in the number of workers who leaned or sat on the machine during breaks to soothe their aching backs and weary muscles. This led William to producing a scaled down version of the machine and eventually led to Owen K. Murphy purchasing the patent and refining the product until Niagara Healthcare was born.
