About Kikko Health

Kikko from the Japanese word for hexagon, nature’s strongest form. A symbol of strength, discipline, and longevity, seen in turtle shells, beehives, and samurai armour. It embodies our approach to health delivering strength, discipline and longevity.

Kikko Health (previously IPRS Mediquipe) has over 20 years of experience offering high-performance rehabilitation and sports science equipment to clinics, hospitals, elite sport, universities and research institutions across the UK and Ireland. Originally founded in 2002 as IPRS Mediquipe, we established an industry-leading reputation in isokinetic dynamometry, supporting a huge range of clinicians to assess, treat and accelerate patient recovery.

Today, Kikko Health brings together an expertly procured portfolio of equipment from leading manufacturers across Europe and North America — including Easytech, Clarius, and Sixtus Italia — to support clinicians, athletes, researchers, and high-performance teams in achieving better outcomes.

We supply and support a range of organisations, from private physiotherapy practices, MOD, orthopaedic consultants and many of the UK’s leading Premier League football clubs.

What sets us apart is not just the equipment we provide, but our wrap around support. We offer consultative guidance, training, installation, and long-term aftercare servicing.
