Fitness for the Mobility Challenged: Facilitating the Law of Movement TherapyIn 1982, the Flexiciser™ technology was developed by Kenneth Richardson in Santa Fe Springs, CA. Mr. Richardson noted that those with Parkinson’s had movement constraints including gait issues. As an innovator, he created a passive technology which would “Facilitate the Law of Movement”. He built the machines one at a time as the orders came in going from one trade show to another. Mr. Richardson was one of the first exhibitors at the Abilities Expo and a recently celebrated his 27th anniversary at the show.
It was not until nearly two decades later, when Arthur M. Kassel met Mr. Richardson through a mutual friend. Mr. Kassel was astonished by the people lined up at a trade show to experience the Flexiciser™. They formed a corporation which today is Flexiciser™ International. With Arthur M. Kassel serving as the Chairman and CEO, Bryan S.J. Mallindine serving as the President, and Kenneth Richardson as the Founder, Flexiciser™ has transformed. The machines are now professionally manufactured in California, the company has received UL and FDA approval, VA/GSA contract, and opened a new headquarters in Carlsbad, CA. Mr. Kassel lead the process of transforming the prototypes into what is Flexiciser™ today.
Since 1982, we have received letters from all over the world about how the Flexiciser™ has helped to calm spasticity, improve circulation, reduce swelling in the legs and ankles, and improve users’ general sense of well being. By increasing circulation, Flexiciser™ also encourages healing of wounds and ulcers.
Healthy active individuals do not often consider the impact that loss of movement has on one’s body - physically and emotionally. The body was designed to move to keep it healthy. When one loses the ability to control the body's movement, independence is also lost. If you are injured in an accident, or suffer from a disease or birth defect that restricts body movement, alternative methods of movement must be attained. The Flexiciser™ can be the answer to movement challenges for many. Flexiciser™ eliminates bad circulation, spasticity, edema, muscle atrophy, stiff joints, and potential infections from lack of movement causing disease
