“The origin of Niagara’s patented cycloid action began in the coalfields of Canada in the 1920s. Quite by accident, the coal miners working there discovered that by leaning against a separation machine, they could get immediate relief for aching backs and joints. The Wettlaufer Brothers were inventors, and when they heard these stories they began researching this revolutionary new ‘process’. Using this basic equipment as their starting point, the brothers developed a new form of ‘energy’ that is now known as ‘cycloid vibration’. This is a 3-dimensional vibration. Because nothing like this had ever been developed, the Wettlaufer Brothers were granted their original patent in 1931. The commercial potential of this life-changing form of therapy was never fully recognised until Owen Murphy stumbled onto it in 1948. Because of his background with the Medical Corps during WWII, Owen realised the incredible range of benefits products based on this new ‘energy’ could produce. He was so sure of its potential that, in 1949, he paid the unheard of vast sum of $150,000 (US) for the patent and…. Niagara Therapy was born. Niagara Therapy’s first year in business only generated $10,000 in sales. However, just two years later sales had jumped to over $4.5 million. This incredible growth was accomplished by placing only one advertisement, and with one instruction page on how to use the product. Niagara’s rapid growth was fuelled by the excitement from a steady stream of ‘miraculous’ results from satisfied customers and from referrals. Since Niagara’s start, it has grown into the world’s largest manufacturer of in-home therapy products. Millions of people worldwide use Niagara therapy and these customers are serviced through a network of offices and service providers throughout many countries around the world. Niagara’s manufacturing centres are located in both the UK and Australia. The Australia based Niagara Therapy is wholly Australian Owned and manufactures Niagara Therapy CVT Class 2a Medical Devices in its Brisbane based manufacturing facility.”
