Sissel France

What Sissel France does

SISSEL France Performance Health (operating as Sissel France, Sisselpro, and Sissel.fr) is a France-based specialist distributor of physiotherapy, rehabilitation, and orthopedic equipment founded in 1991 and headquartered in Couëron. The company sells a multi-category catalog spanning massage tables and furniture, professional physiotherapy devices (electrotherapy, ultrasound, laser, shockwave, pressotherapy, tecartherapy, cryotherapy/thermotherapy), rehabilitation equipment (aquatic, hand, gait, motorized splints, parallel bars, verticalizers, iso-inertial), fitness and Pilates equipment, taping and strapping supplies, autonomy/mobility aids, orthopedic materials, and professional training. It distributes over 100 international brands (Chattanooga, Therabody, BTL, Compex, Hyperice, Balanced Body, BOSU, Core-Tex, FERROX) alongside its own SISSEL® brand products.

The business operates a B2B sales-led GTM targeting healthcare professionals — physiotherapists, kinesitherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, sports medicine doctors, podologists, and Pilates/fitness instructors — through a dedicated e-commerce platform (sisselperformancehealth.fr), a consumer site (sissel.fr), a phone advisory service, and a physical showroom. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time unit sales at publicly disclosed prices ranging from €4.80 consumables to over €20,000 professional equipment bundles, with installment financing (12-60 months) and a professional SISSEL Family membership program (free shipping, 5-installment payment, priority after-sales, private sales). Distribution extends internationally via sister entities in Switzerland, UK, Germany, and Italy.

Sissel France also operates a training and education arm in partnership with the Académie de K-Taping for K-Taping certification, and integrates with Doctolib for appointment scheduling, positioning the company as both a product supplier and a workflow-embedded partner for rehabilitation and wellness professionals across France.
