Machines for the treatment of back pain

The most advanced back therapy machines

Medical Back Therapy uses the most advanced machines in sports and in spinal column rehabilitation.

This equipment allows for entirely isolated training of the area to be treated and displays the results of each patient on screen.

The Wunder Training Medical Back Therapy Machines

MedX* machines are used in Medical Back Therapy. This equipment is world famous for offering the best quality in the sport and rehabilitation sectors. These machines were developed based on independent university studies and have excellent biomechanical precision. What is more, they are made in Europe and are certified by TÜV, the German technical inspection service.

This certificate guarantees the equipment meets the requirements for dynamic variable progressive resistance muscle training. Technical aspects such as ergonomics, the physiological process of the load during exercise, the minimisation of friction and a precise setting of the weight make this equipment the most advanced in the sector.

The main features of the MedX* equipment include:

  • Complete isolation of the muscles to be strengthened.
  • Offsetting of the forces of gravity.
  • Measuring of the muscle strength of each individual and comparison with his or her standard group.
  • Possibility of training the widest range of motion possible.
  • Muscle fibre typing by exhaustion reaction.
  • Eccentric and concentric contraction during the exercise.
  • Muscle load according to the physiological strength curve of each individual.

MedX Medical Lumbar Extension*: machine to treat lumbar pain

dolor lumbar

This machine is used to treat problems, pain and disorders in the lumbar region.

Torso extension is a complex movement that involves the lumbar extensors, the gluteus muscles and the ischiotibial muscles. The gluteus and ischiotibial are larger and stronger muscles and, therefore, they do most of the work in many individuals, while the lumbar muscles become atrophied or weak.

This can lead to problems and pain in the lumbar region, and this musculature must be specifically strengthened to correct the situation. The range of movement of the torso from full flexion to full extension is 182º. Of this total, the lumbar extensors provide 72º and the remaining 110º is from pelvic rotation. To be able to effectively strengthen the deep muscles of the lumbar spine, pelvic rotation must be avoided through immobilisation.

The MedX Medical Lumbar Extension* machine ensures the precise immobilisation of the pelvis. It is only then that the extensor muscles in the back can be exercised individually and strengthened effectively to eliminate the most common lumbar pain (lumbalgia, sciatica, disc herniation, spondylolysis, etc.).

Another exclusive advantage of this machine is the possibility of performing a Lumbar Strength Test. This measurement of strength in the lumbar muscles provides information on the initial condition of each individual and compares the results obtained with normal values for their age group, sex and weight. Likewise, repeating this Lumbar Strength Test controls and informs the patient of their evolution at the start, in the middle and at the end of treatment.

MedX Medical Cervical Extension*: machine to treat neck pain

This equipment is used to treat problems, pain and disorders in the neck region.

The lack of cervical muscle strength is often one of the most important causes of these problems. Muscle atrophy causes instability in the spine that, in combination with our life styles, can lead to pain, excess tension and contractures. Long term, this instability often causes degenerative damage such as arthrosis, spondylolysis, protrusions and disc herniation. It is therefore necessary to specifically strengthen this cervical musculature to correct the situation.

The cervical spine has a range of movement of around 126º from full extension to full flexion. If the range of movement is 108º, this is considered normal. The cervical extension machine ensures full immobilisation of the shoulders and torso for the isolated strengthening of the neck extensor muscles.

Another exclusive advantage of this machine is the possibility of performing a Neck Strength Test. This measurement of strength in the neck muscles provides information on the initial condition of each individual and compares the results obtained with normal values for their age group, sex and weight. Likewise, repeating this Neck Strength Test controls and informs the patient of their evolution at the start, in the middle and at the end of treatment.

*The Wunder Training MedX equipment was made in Europe by Delphex. All our equipment is certified by TÜV, the German technical inspection service.
