Marpe Establishes ‘Marpe Medical Rehab Center’ in the Philippines

Building a global education hub… regular operation of GTS-based gait rehabilitation and sling training programs

Marpe, a rehabilitation exercise equipment specialist led by CEO Kim Taek-yeon, announced on the 10th that it has established a local rehabilitation center, “Marpe Medical Rehab Center,” in the Philippines, marking the company’s full-scale entry into the Southeast Asian rehabilitation healthcare market.

The newly established Marpe Medical Rehab Center will serve both as a hands-on clinical facility where Marpe’s rehabilitation solutions can be applied and validated in real clinical environments, and as a global education hub. Beyond simple equipment distribution, the center’s core mission is to provide medical professionals and therapists with standardized rehabilitation protocols and in-depth training on equipment utilization.

The center will be equipped step by step with Marpe’s major rehabilitation systems and is designed to enable both practical treatment and professional training across a wide range of clinical fields, including gait rehabilitation, neurological rehabilitation, and musculoskeletal therapeutic exercise.

In particular, GTS-based gait rehabilitation training, sling training programs, and patient evaluation and exercise prescription courses for medical professionals across Southeast Asia will be conducted on a regular basis.

A Marpe official stated, “The Philippine center is not merely an overseas branch—it is a global education platform for sharing Marpe’s rehabilitation philosophy and clinical know-how with local medical professionals. It will serve as a hub to help hospitals and clinics across Southeast Asia use Marpe equipment in a more professional and consistent manner.”

The Philippines is one of the countries experiencing rapid growth in medical infrastructure and rehabilitation demand. With its English-based medical environment and high international mobility of healthcare professionals, the country also holds strong strategic value as a regional education hub for rehabilitation in Southeast Asia. Based on this, Marpe plans to develop the Philippine center into the core of an ASEAN rehabilitation healthcare network.

Meanwhile, Marpe supplies a wide range of rehabilitation solutions—including gait training systems, sling systems, and therapy frames—to hospitals and rehabilitation institutions both domestically and overseas. With the establishment of the Marpe Medical Rehab Center in the Philippines, the company is accelerating its transformation into a global rehabilitation platform company that connects products, clinical practice, and education.
