Canadian Innovation Since 1974
Thumper’s story began in 1974 through the research and development of Toronto chiropractor Lyman Johnson, in collaboration with engineers from Magna International Inc.. Together, they developed and patented the Vibrotoner, the world’s first deep muscle percussion massager.
Originally created to help prepare muscles prior to chiropractic adjustments, this groundbreaking invention laid the foundation for modern percussion massage technology. Through decades of innovation and refinement, this original design evolved into the Thumper Maxi Pro, which remains one of the most widely used percussion massagers by chiropractors and healthcare professionals worldwide.
Today, Thumper continues its commitment to innovation by developing reliable percussion massagers that support active, healthy lifestyles.
