About
The Gentle Jogger was invented by Marvin Sackner and Tony Adams, two Miami doctors who are passionate about wellness and enabling people to live longer and
healthier lives.
Their journey began in 1996, while examining ways to help newborns in respiratory distress, the duo discovered that using a motorized platform to repetitively move the body in a head-to-foot direction increases nitric oxide, which in turn, helps with circulation and organ blood flow. After more than 20 years of studying basic and clinical research on the benefits of simulating this movement, the Gentle Jogger was born.
