The founding family
Innovation driven by passion
The history of GIGER® MD® did not begin in a laboratory, but with a deep desire to help people for whom, at the time, there was little hope of improvement. In the early 1980s, the Giger family laid the foundation for a revolutionary form of therapy.
Motivated by a case of multiple sclerosis within the family, and driven by personal commitment and scientific curiosity, they developed the first prototypes of the therapy instruments. Their goal was to re-stimulate the nervous system through targeted, rhythmic movements—an approach that was far ahead of its time.
