Who is behind the Harrington Method?

To put it simply, The Harrington Method happened because four people believed in the results of a natural product so much, they wanted to share it with others.

Since 2002, Dr. Howard Owens had been treating naturopathic patients in Bracebridge, just north of Toronto in Muskoka. Being a doctor who wasn’t satisfied in the efficacy of existing products, Dr. Owens started to create formulas for his own patients by sourcing ingredients through a Canadian certified GMP facility. Two of his first formulas - For Athletes and For the Brain - gained immediate success.

The results for the Athlete's formula were so noticeable by one of his patients, she shared it with her business partner, and another colleague. They approached Dr. Owens about developing the brand and bringing these formulas to a larger audience.

Steph Mackie, Mark Biernacki and Peter Reitano were those people finding great results with Harrington's No. 1 for the Athlete. It helped speed up with recovery time for their respected pursuits - equestrian (Steph), cycling (Mark) and soccer (Peter).

And so it began. The Harrington Method was started.
