Company History
The IonSpa proudly stands as the first solid-state, U.S.-based ionic foot bath manufacturer—an innovative benchmark that helped elevate holistic wellness services worldwide. For nearly 25 years, we have supported practitioners in delivering reliable, results-oriented sessions that empower their clients to embrace a deeper level of personal well-being. From day one, our mission has been to create intuitive, high-quality products that meet the exacting standards of professionals who depend on our technology to enhance their clients’ experience.
Our journey began when Larry Lewter, a mechanical specialist with a keen interest in holistic health, encountered the ionic foot bath as a promising yet under-realized tool. Although he recognized its potential, the device he purchased was far from ideal—cumbersome, outdated, and prone to malfunctions. When it inevitably broke down, Larry saw an opportunity not only to improve the product, but to redefine an entire niche within the wellness industry. Drawing inspiration from the words of Thomas Edison—“Just because something doesn’t do what you planned it to do doesn’t mean it’s useless”—Larry channeled his frustration into constructive innovation.
Working with a team of top engineers and wellness experts, he set out to redesign the ionic foot bath from the ground up. Every component was chosen with care to ensure durability, safety, and ease-of-use. Instead of requiring additional items or complicated instructions, the new IonSpa foot bath would be a complete, turnkey solution right out of the box. Soon, our modest beginnings gave way to larger facilities, expanded production capabilities, and an unwavering commitment to service and education.
Today, The IonSpa operates out of a 9,000-square-foot office and assembly facility in McAllen, Texas, staffed by professionals dedicated to quality control, technical support, logistics, and ongoing research. Our worldwide distribution network allows us to serve wellness practitioners across the globe—professionals who trust that our products will enhance their reputation, sustain client loyalty, and contribute meaningfully to their clients’ long-term well-being.
Throughout these many years, The IonSpa has maintained a steadfast focus on bridging old-fashioned reliability with state-of-the-art innovation.
