Nikken Story

Nikken was created to fill a need. In 1975, Isamu Masuda conceived of an invention that would relax and energize millions of people who suffered from one of mankind’s most common complaints: sore feet, and the fatigue that this extends to the entire body. He drew his inspiration from the pebbled surface at the bottom of a Japanese public bath, added magnetism and the Magstep, the first Nikken product, was born.

That was only the beginning. It led to other innovations that follow the same principle, wellness solutions based on the natural world. But the company and its founder were motivated by more than products. A vision of caring, of helping others, was central to the corporate philosophy. It remains so today.
