Tamplins Tanning 1st December 2009
David Tamplin of Tamplins Tanning Salon in Burgess Hill, West Sussex bought a Vibration Trainer and within 10 days bought another 3. They have instantly made an impact in his business being rented out in 10 minute sessions.
For what is acomparitively small outlay, it allowed David to try out Vibration Training in his salon and get an instant return. Whilst the machines are only domestically rated, when used in Beauty or Tanning Salons, we are happy to work with the salon owners and for this light commercial use, we reduce the warranty to six months.
Back from the shows 5th November 2009
October was a frenetic month and trade was brisk at the shows we exhibited at.
The Back Show - Olympia
Salon International - Exel
Horse of the Year Show - NEC
Salon International - Exel
Telegraph Ski Show - NEC
The reaction of both Horse riders and Skiers to both the Vibration Trainer and the Percussion Massagers was tremendous which came as a welcome bonus to the business we knew would be doing at Salon International and the Back show.
This year exhibiting the Disc-Traction we created quite a stir to this simple yet highly effective method of both relieving back strain whilst also offering sacro-illiac support .

In October, Mend Your Health Ltd will be exhibiting at:
The Back Show - Olympia

Disk Traction arrives 6th August 2009
The first consignment of Disk-Traction belts arrive in the UK.
The first customers were delighted and sales have snowballed, like all good ideas, the simple ones work best.
New product anounced - Disc-Traction 1st July 2009
We are pleased to anounce we have the UK distribution rights for the Disc-Traction belt.
Initial response to the sample Disc-Traction belts has been fantastic, lots of interest and great feedback from people using it.
Like all products, we test it on ourselves, there is nothing worse than niggling back pain and the Disc-Traction belt is excellent at both reducing the pain but also providing the right form of back stretches to remove it.
MS Centres using the Trainers grow 5th June 2009
There are now 5 MS centres that have bought and use the trainer to help people with MS that visit the centres for day care treatments.
For people with MS, if you contact us we will point you in the direction of the nearest centre to you that uses our trainer.
A trip to Chicago 1st March 2009
Our MD flew to a show in Chicago looking for complimentary products. Several were of interest that will be introduced over the next 12 months. A most interesting product was a belt that allows an individual to support and also put their back in mild traction. It supports the sacroiliac joint and allows the individual to get instant relief when pressing down on the handles. This device is fantastic for people with niggling back pain and addresses a real need in the market.
Advertising in New Pathway 1st August 2008
As a result of the impact the Vibration Trainer has had in the MS community, we started advertising in New Pathways, a magazine for people with MS to spread the word a bit further.
Still going strong 1st July 2008
Sales are still excellent, we have found that the VT's are performing quasi miracles in a new market to us, that of helping people with debilatating illnesses like MS and Parkinsons.
We have been in almost constant communication with quite a few customers about the impact that the VT has had on their lives. How do you get the message across without sounding trite or insincere?
Whilst it does not work for everyone, it definitely allows people to excercise when their previous options were limited through circumstance.
Massager demos well received 1st May 2008
Have employed additional staff to demonstrate and sell both the massager and the VT at exhibitions. The demonstration of the massager (giving free massages) is making them fly off the shelves. We have been really impressed with how well they are received by the public.
New product testing 1st March 2008
We have been testing products like crazy. We do not want to trade with products that everyone else has access to - we want a unique USP and we want exclusives. Quite a difficult task when everyone else in the market place is looking. Well we found a masager that is percussion (tapping), extremely powerful and it has 4 heads. Really excited and this will be selling off a different website - www.powermassager.co.uk
First consignment sold out 1st December 2007
New stock due January
First 100 machines arrive 1st September 2007
First consignment of 100 machines arrived from the manufacturers and were put up for sale on the original single product website.
Company founded 1st June 2007
We had researched the Vibration Trainer market and from a choice of 5 trainers, that ranged in price from £150 to £1,000, we chose what turned into the MYH VT01. The initial sample sent to us was thoroughly tested, we made some design changes and the company was under way.
