Neck Medical Therapy: eliminate your cervical pain with exercises
Treatment for neck pain
Neck Therapy is suitable for people suffering from:
- Chronic Neck Pain
- Disc herniation, protrusion or discopathy in the neck region
- Cervical arthrosis
- Whiplash
- Tension headaches
The atrophy or lack of strength of the deep muscles of the neck region is often the direct or indirect cause of these problems.
Muscle atrophy means that the muscles are unable to ensure the stability of the spinal column. This instability, combined with bad postures, can cause pain and contractures in the neck region. Long term, this instability of the cervical spine can lead to degenerative injuries, such as protrusions or disc herniation.
Wunder Training neck pain treatment is based on the use of the MedX Medical Cervical Extension* machine to specifically strengthen the deep muscles of the neck and eliminate neck pain.
Medical Neck Therapy is provided over 12-18 sessions under medical control and the supervision of a physiotherapist during all the exercises. An initial Medical Examination is performed, along with a medical consultation for control half-way through and another at the end of the treatment.
The sessions last 30 minutes, during which the muscles are strengthened using the MedX Medical Cervical Extension* machine and an additional programme of exercises (neck, torso, arms, etc.) is followed, depending on individual needs.
*The Wunder Training MedX equipment was made in Europe by Delphex. All our equipment is certified by TÜV, the German technical inspection service.
The Medical Back Therapy Machines
MedX* medical 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 Cervical Extension*
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, spondylosis, 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 ensure 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.
