- Who is OPTP?
- OPTP is a US rehabilitation and fitness products company and publisher founded in 1977 that supplies physiotherapists, chiropractors, athletic trainers and movement professionals. Its best-known products are the Original Stretch Out Strap, the PRO-ROLLER and AXIS foam rollers and the Original McKenzie Method rolls and supports. Lanson Group distributes the OPTP range to UK trade accounts.
- What does Lanson Group supply in rehab and physiotherapy?
- Foam rollers and myofascial release tools, stretching straps, McKenzie Method rolls, supports and self-treatment books, TheraBand resistance bands, loops, tubing and dispenser packs, Pilates and posture equipment, and clinic consumables such as moist heat packs and massage balls.
- Can the public buy from this site?
- No. Lanson Group is a trade distributor. Anyone can read the product information here, but pricing and ordering are available only to approved trade accounts such as clinics, physiotherapists, chiropractors, sports clubs, gyms and resellers.
- Which foam roller density should a clinic choose?
- Super Soft and Soft PRO-ROLLERs for sensitive, older or early-rehabilitation patients; PRO-ROLLER Standard as a general clinic roller; silver AXIS for a moderate general-issue option; black AXIS for athletes who want firm pressure.
- What makes the Stretch Out Strap different from a belt or towel?
- Its sewn loops give fixed hand and foot positions, so a stretch can be measured, repeated and progressed loop by loop. A towel or plain belt slips and cannot be graded.
- How do TheraBand colours progress?
- From lightest to heaviest: tan, yellow, red, green, blue, black, silver, gold. Progression is by moving up a colour at a consistent band length, not by shortening the band.
- Do you supply bulk and dispenser formats for departments?
- Yes. Bands come in clinic rolls, pre-cut dispensing packs and bulk dispenser boxes, and books and straps can be quoted in multipacks for services that issue them at volume.
- How do I open a trade account?
- Apply through the trade application form on this site. Applications are reviewed by our team, and approved accounts then see trade pricing and can order online.
