From the House

Dr-PRO arrives, the launch of the original

In 2014 we launched the first Dr-PRO, a professional console built around the practitioner's hands, and the start of the Dr-PRO Series.

In 2014 the first Dr-PRO left our workshop in Japan. It was the beginning of the series that carries the house today.

Built around the hand

The thinking behind it came from treatment rooms, not from a drawing board. Keep the practitioner's touch at the centre, and let the technology work through it. That is why Dr-PRO works with conductive gloves, and why a session still feels like being cared for by a person.

Made the way we promised

Like everything since 2013, the first Dr-PRO was developed in-house and built, assembled and inspected in Japan.
