Our values
Knowledge comes from experience. Over the years, we've found that those that do not understand the importance of orthopedic positioning have yet to experience the difference it can make. Most of our dedicated bodyCushion customers around the world had a major "Aha!" moment the first time they compared lying comfortably on the bodyCushion with lying prone on a flat treatment table. Armed with new knowledge and the best positioning equipment on the market, they return to their practices able to make a real difference for their patients and clients. And even though we've been educating and selling therapeutic positioning systems since 1986, there are still practitioners out there who have never been introduced to this revolutionary approach. So almost 30 years after our company was founded, we continue to press on and persevere in our mission to educate health and therapeutic professionals about the importance of positioning their patients and clients for the best possible treatment outcomes.
We don't do it alone. In order to educate the health and therapeutic communities about the importance of positioning, we partner with leaders and educators already working in their fields. We are happy to support our Educator's seminars and workshops and we encourage them to demonstrate and discuss therapeutic orthopedic positioning with their students whenever applicable. Supportive orthopedic positioning brings about real changes in comfort and relaxation for the patient or client, but these changes can be lost on the practitioner if the practitioner has not experienced the positioning equipment themselves. The more professionals that are actually able to have that "Aha" moment with our positioning equipment, the more professionals that are likely to use it. We are grateful to our Educators for helping us share an experience that can transform patient and client lives for the better. If you are interested in our Educator program, please contact us for more information.
We also persevere in terms of Product Leadership. In our experience, we've learned that if we want our products to lead the market in both quality and innovation, then we have to continually improve our products. In addition to our never-ending quest for the best materials, we find enormous value in feedback from our customers. By incorporating customer suggestions, quality materials, and standing behind our products 100%, we've maintained the leadership of our products as the best orthopedic positioning systems on the market. If you have any customer feedback or suggestions about our company or our products, please contact us at your convenience.
