Typical work widget for your pleasure:


Hi Karl,

Please contact OPTP at optp.com and inquire about wholesale pricing on
foam rollers, videos, books, etc.

Have you ordered Ma Rollers?

Thanks,
Tom


Tom,

I have opened an account with OPTP in the Healing Arts Center’s name and they are sending us a distributor’s package with wholesale, retail, and professional pricing structures. As to the Ma Rollers I had an interesting conversation with the owner of Edcat Enterprises in Florida, we get a number of our posters and the Theracanes from them and they were our source for Ma Rollers. The Ma Company was run by an elderly couple in New Hampshire and they decided to close up shop and retire the product as well. Edcat went so far as to attempt to buy the Ma band name and take over production, but the couple wasn’t interested in selling. As of now there is no source for Ma Rollers according to Edcat.

A quick google search revealed that the New Hampshire couple did sell the business to man in Ohio and that production has always occurred in India and entered the US via shipment to New Hampshire. The retired couple has moved back to India and do occasionally ship to a Philip Wilson, who is currently in Florida at a spa show. Every three to six months they send a “skiff” of Ma Rollers to Phil that are apparently of varying quality (they’ve gotten some with worm holes and some that weren’t properly lathed). But if we want to sell Ma rollers it’s a matter of negotiating a good price with Phil and then, “getting in line to receive what comes off the skiff”.

Karl
