PNEUMEX

Postural balance, flexibility and strength are key ingredients in long-term stabilization of the entire spine and strengthening of the paraspinal musculature. Our unweighted system allows for rehabilitation and healing of damaged tissues to occur more rapidly because we are lessening weight bearing stress. Harness supported equipment (such as you see pictured here with Trainer, Kelly - see more about Kelly on page 2 - and our patient Marcia Skarie) decreases the load on healing tissues, conserving energy and reducing pain. One of our goals is to work with patients who are in the pain phase and break that cycle of pain! Task specific functional exercises allow faster healing—without the pain! The ultimate goal, of course, is to return a patient to their pre-injury state. Training and rehabilitation with Pneumex equipment allows for a return to activities of daily living and recreation earlier than with many other training protocols. For many patients a new lease on life will be found through this non-invasive, chemical-free and practical alternative to surgery.
