History

Redcord was established in 1991 by Tore, Grete and Petter Planke.^[1] It was then called Nordic Therapy. The concep and the firm is built around one patented piece of equipment called a Trainer. The Trainer was invented by the former gymnast and construction manager Kaare Mosberg. This Trainer was put into use by Petter Planke to combat a 20 year old low back pain. Hence the connection to physical therapy and physicians. The medical practitioners and physical therapist involved with the firm, was later on organized in a daughter company called S-E-T (Sling Exercise Therapy) Competence. This happened in 2002 and this part of the company is still focused on developing and testing the use of the Trainer in a therapeutic setting.
