Our Mission
It is our mission to educate and pass on a soft tissue system that has been successful for thirty years. We aim to empower the current and future generation of therapists with a greater understanding of soft tissue management.
How We Started
In 2012, I had a breakthrough moment that would reshape the landscape of manual therapy. Questioning conventional methods, I abandoned the use of ice, recognizing its inhibitory effects on healing. Inspired by emerging research on blood flow and fascia manipulation, I embarked on a journey to integrate far-infrared heat into soft tissue therapy.
Collaborating with an engineer, the ExoArm Infrared Sleeve was born—a revolutionary tool designed to emit therapeutic heat during manipulation. Over the years, it evolved into a comprehensive system known as The ExoArmer Method of Manual Therapy, combining mechanical pressure and heat to optimize tissue manipulation.
Today, our method stands as a testament to innovation, offering practitioners an unparalleled approach to healing and recovery.
