The Concept of Pure Air Massage

The process was discovered by Garth O'Connor, during his extensive search to alleviate the pain of his wife, Lee, a diabetic suffering with ulcers due to poor circulation. After exploring many conventional and non-conventional options with limited success, Garth began to realise that the answer had to be something new and revolutionary – as yet undiscovered. He applied himself creatively to this end, using every known massaging device to increase blood-flow to the feet. After many starts which initially looked promising but did not deliver the required results, Garth finally made a breakthrough.

"I was working with a large air compressor used in construction. My finger was extremely painful that day, as I had broken it when I was a youngster. Casually, I stroked my finger with the air nozzle. The sensation was amazing. I felt some relief in the pain in my finger, and I realised that I had stumbled onto something that may help my suffering wife. Naturally I was nervous because I was very aware of the general industry consensus when working with compressed-air applications: That one should never direct air onto the body, even to clean dusty overalls".

Extensive consultations with medical engineers and substantial clinical research followed.  Unfortunately the first Jet Therapy prototype was developed too late to save Lee's leg, but the final product was launched at the end of 1999 and formed the basis for the modern Jet Therapy system.
