Milon has gone into partnership with FPZ (Forschungs-und Präventationszentrum Köln), the leading German institution for research and rehabilitation for back and spinal column-related injuries.

The resulting 'Dorsys Back Concept' from milon consists of four machines that allow the upper body to work in four different directions, ensuring a comprehensive workout.

It can help to stabilise and strengthen the torso's muscular system, as well as helping prevent and treat back-related problems, and is being used as part of FPZ's rehab concept.

Milon also won the FIBO Special Concept Category Innovation Award (pictured) for its flagship concept, the smartcard-controlled milon circuit.

This award is presented to the best overall concept - the product itself, but also the marketing, communication and training concepts that ensure correct usage by staff and members alike.
