Relaxus is a Canadian based Importer, Manufacturer, and Wholesale Distributor. We develop, design and source Massage and Relaxation Products. In addition, you can visit our showroom for the widest selection of professional Massage and Chiropractic equipment, supplies and related products in Western Canada.

Relaxus has prospered because of our ability to deliver a varied group of high quality products that people want. We continue to grow at a rapid pace; our recurring inclusion in the annual list of "Fastest Growing Companies in BC" (Business in Vancouver) is an annual benchmark that let’s us know that we are heading in the right direction.

Based in Vancouver, British Columbia - Canada, we have built relationships with well over 2500 accounts across North America. Since 1992, our customer list has grown to include Professional Massage Therapists, Chiropractors, Health Food Stores, Pharmacies, Gift Stores, Dollar Stores, Mall Kiosks, and National Chain Retailers.

Our success is based on understanding the markets in which we operate, developing new - market leading products, creating a winning partnership with our customers, and offering solutions and value to the end-user.

Ron Kline and Ari Schwartz are the founding partners at Relaxus. The two 30 something's sum it up this way: "When we started, health and wellness was the subject matter for the New Age crowd - a limited market of individuals striving for pro-active health, education and enlightenment. Today, what was once considered Far Out has slipped quietly and almost unnoticed into the mainstream. No surprise really, since health and wellness are basic and essential to our life on this planet.

We love our work. We know that our products bring smiles to many faces. And we have had the chance to meet some really great people along the way. The Staff at Relaxus continues to bring a positive energy and commitment that helps our company and products stand out in the crowd. We enjoy and believe in what we are doing, and we use this to our competitive advantage. Most important, we look forward to the journey that lies ahead."
