What Proxomed does

Proxomed is one of three operating brands under PHYSIOMED GROUP, with the parent entity being PHYSIOMED ELEKTROMEDIZIN AG — a family-owned German public limited company (AG) headquartered in Schnaittach, Germany, with a secondary manufacturing facility in Pirmasens. Founded in 1986, the group specializes in medical technology for rehabilitation, physiotherapy, and prevention, and Proxomed specifically focuses on active movement therapy and vacuum therapy. Proxomed's core product portfolio includes the compass series (compass 600, compass 540, compass MTT) of functional medical strength training equipment with cable pulls and training benches, alongside the vacumed SL+ vacuum therapy device.

The broader PHYSIOMED GROUP umbrella spans electro-medical and physical therapy modalities — including DEEP OSCILLATION (electrostatic field tissue treatment), vocaSTIM-Master (vocal cord stimulation therapy), and IONOSON-Expert (multi-modality combination therapy) — as well as endurance/cardiovascular rehabilitation (kardiomed series), isokinetic testing and training systems (CON-TREX, Biodex System 4 Pro, Gait Trainer 3), and gait training equipment including distributed lines from AlterG, h/p/cosmos, and HUMAC NORM. Manufacturing of high-tech electromedicine and biomechanics products takes place in-house in Schnaittach and Pirmasens, with compliance to the Medizinprodukteverordnung (MDR) regulatory framework underpinning all medical device sales.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time capital equipment sales to physiotherapists, hospital procurement departments (Klinikeinkauf), and physicians across German-speaking markets (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), supplemented by professional services including consulting (business plan creation, financial planning, financing, marketing, facility layout, succession planning), technical service, and continuing education programs (KGG, T-RENA, coaching, Ärztefortbildungen). Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales with an authorized dealer network accessed via a dedicated Händler-Login portal, supported by content marketing (Magazin), Fachkreise professional community channels, and trade show participation. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers may purchase, finance, or lease, with consulting attached as a value-add differentiator.
