Mettler Electronics, Anaheim, Calif, is partnering with General Physiotherapy, St. Louis, to private label G5® massage equipment for Mettler’s physical therapy and chiropractic markets.

Mettler Electronics is a provider of portable ultrasound and electro-stimulation therapy equipment. The company will now add General Physiotherapy’s G5® massage equipment to its new product development.

For their partnership with Mettler Electronics, General Physiotherapy is private labeling the G5 Plus, a new design featuring updated controls, an LCD digital readout, and a pneumatic cylinder in the stand. These new systems come with a rolling stand, accessory tray, and a variety of applicators to facilitate a range of therapeutic massage techniques.

“We have known General Physiotherapy for a number of years and we share a large distributor market, with some of the same customers in the medical rehabilitation field. We have a history between our companies that goes back many years, as owner Tom Muchisky knew both my father and my grandfather,” said Mark Mettler, vice president of Mettler Electronics.

G5 Massage Machines are suited for deep muscle massage, trigger-point therapy, cellulite reduction, detoxification, lymphatic drainage, circulatory stimulation, and scar tissue reduction. The systems offer Directional-Stroking®—the action of simultaneously delivering perpendicular and horizontal forces through the smooth head motion of the unit. The concurrent actions of these two forces act to loosen areas of congestion and move fluids, reaching far below the skin’s surface.
