History

In 2007, TOSH and USANA Health Sciences formed an informal research partnership. In 2009 this partnership was formalized, and the two entities began formal research collaboration.

In 2009, TOSH customized one of its performance labs for soccer players. High-speed cameras analyze movements of players kicking soccer balls and give feedback on movements and feet positioning. Specially designed glasses with built-in strobe lights train eyes what is often overlooked with a fast-moving ball. A Nike visual training system, one of only 20 in the country, is also used to strengthen peripheral vision.

In July 2010, TOSH and USANA Health Sciences announced the launch of two new vitamin studies. The first study is to determine whether Vitamin D can reduce post-exercise muscular weaknees in young, physically active people. The second study involves patients at TOSH with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries to find a complimentary therapeutic approach for improving muscular strength in post-surgical patients utilizing both Vitamin C and Vitamin E. These studies are part of a research partnership between the two entities that began in 2007 and was formalized in 2009. USANA provided the pharmaceutical-grade supplements for both of the studies, as well as provided partial funding to the ACL study.

In 2010, TOSH opened their Back & Neck Center which was designed to rapidly assess back and neck pain, including any necessary diagnostic imaging services. Major problems are diagnosed at this Center and then patients are passed onto specialists near their residence.
