The Vision

“I created Viscus for those who suffer from arthritis, blood clots, joint replacement, poor circulation, lower back pain, stroke, brain injury, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, prolonged bed rest, osteoporosis and spasticity. I saw a need in the physiotherapy world, so I used my love of inventing and filled that need. I wanted to help, so that’s what I did!”
