About Isokinetics
Isokinetics began in 1987 with one sales rep in Arkansas, selling home physical therapy equipment to rural clinics that the “big companies” did not bother calling on. From working with them, Isokinetics formed its philosophy of always treating the customer as they would like to be treated – courteously and promptly, and offering products at a fair price. It was those customers that returned repeatedly and helped Isokinetics grow into a company with a direct sales force serving 9 states in the Midwest, a comprehensive print catalog, and a website selling at discount prices nationwide. Isokinetics has served hundreds of clinics and hundreds of thousands of individuals since its inception almost 25 years ago. Although the Company is growing, Isokinetics strives to never treat its customers like it’s a “big company.” For more information please visit: www.isokineticsinc.com.
