Tri-Aid started in a treatment room. As a sports chiropractor, Dave was seeing more and more people come into his clinic with neck tension and tension-type headaches, and the pattern was hard to miss: more hours on phones and laptops, more pressure at work, and less time to switch off. He wanted to give his patients something they could use at home between treatments, but he couldn’t find anything that did the job the way he needed it to.

Jon was seeing the same thing from the gym floor. Working with corporate clients and office workers, he watched people miss sessions because of the tension they were carrying through their neck and shoulders. Jon was also one of Dave’s patients, dealing with exactly the same issue.

Those treatment sessions turned into conversations, and those conversations turned into a question: what if people had a simple, effective way to look after this themselves? Dave brought the clinical insight into the muscles at the base of the skull and what it takes to release them. Jon brought the know-how of turning an idea into a product people actually use, having brought the first massage gun to Australia.

That’s how the Tri-Aid was born.
