The story

Five things that define the OPTP catalogue

OPTP grew out of clinic demand: practitioners wanted graded, durable tools and clear printed guidance they could hand to a patient, and each of its signature ranges answers one of those needs.

Founded in 1977

OPTP started out supplying orthopaedic physiotherapy clinics with the tools and texts practitioners could not easily buy elsewhere, and built the catalogue around what clinicians actually asked for.

The Original Stretch Out Strap

The multi-loop stretching strap that became standard issue in clinics worldwide, giving patients a way to perform a properly graded assisted stretch on their own.

PRO-ROLLER and AXIS foam rollers

A full density ladder — Super Soft, Soft, Standard, moderate silver AXIS and firm black AXIS — so a roller can be matched to what the patient can tolerate rather than what is in stock.

The Original McKenzie Method range

Lumbar and cervical rolls made to Robin McKenzie's specification, alongside the Treat Your Own Back and Treat Your Own Neck self-treatment titles that support the method.

Movement education and publishing

Franklin Method, STOTT PILATES and Meeks Method lines sit beside a large catalogue of clinical books, charts and posters used in teaching and in treatment rooms.

Why clinics choose it

Graded ranges, printed guidance, clinic-grade durability

The practical advantage of stocking OPTP is progression: every core range has a ladder of densities, lengths or resistances, so a patient moves up within the same familiar product.

  • Clinician-developed products with printed guidance, so home programmes are followed correctly
  • Density, length and resistance ladders that let you progress a patient without changing brand
  • Durable moulded and extruded foam that survives shared clinic and gym use
  • Consumables and dispensing formats sized for services that issue equipment every day
  • One trade account for equipment, supports, resistance and patient education titles
