The Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) machine is a post-operative device designed to aid in recovery by increasing range of motion, decreasing pain and edema, overall joint stiffness, and adhesion formation. It can be used for conditions such as: post-surgical proximal humeral fractures, SLAP lesions repair, rotator cuff repair, total knee replacement. The machines are portableRead more
Back Into Motion are the proud owners of the following NMES machines: Kneehab, QB1 and COMPEX. These devices stimulate both sensory and motor fibres ideal for post-operative care. They are often used to “re-train” or “re-educate” a muscle to function and to build strength after a surgery or period of disuse. It can also beRead more
Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) is a skilled myofascial intervention used for soft-tissue treatment. It is applied using instruments that are usually made of stainless steel with bevelLed edges and contours that can conform to different body anatomical locations and allows for deeper penetration. Instruments effectively break down fascial restrictions and scar tissue. TheRead more
Promotes tissue healing and repair, reduces pain through machine based treatments. Back Into Motion provides ultrasound and TENS. These can be used to treat a variety of conditions and will speed up recovery. Ultrasound The ultrasound waves are generated by a piezoelectric effect caused by the vibration of a quartz ceramic disk within the headRead more
Is a treatment technique to gain normal kinetic movement faster. The application of tape activates and optimises the body’s own healing processes and reduce inflammation. The faster people can move in a normal functional movement pattern, within the boundaries of healing process, the better the micro-circulation of blood and lymph the faster healing will occur.Read more
Acupuncture originating from China, thousands of years ago to treat a variety of conditions and involves the use of meridian lines for point selection to insertion of a needle. The World Health Organisation (WHO) reports that it is effective for treatment of 28 conditions. Dry needling is an effective treatment for muscle tension, trigger pointsRead more
Your therapist will gently massage the myofascia and feel for stiff or tightened areas. Normal myofascia should feel pliable and elastic. The therapist will begin massaging and stretching the areas that feel rigid with light manual pressure. The therapist then aids the tissue and supportive sheath in releasing pressure and tightness. The process is repeatedRead more
It involves ‘hands on’ treatments and describes a broad range of treatments including soft tissue massage, muscle energy techniques, joint manipulation and mobilisations. These treatments are designed to promote normal spinal and pelvic alignments as well as reduce muscle tension and trigger poiRead more
Reflexology is the application of pressure to areas on the feet (or the hands). Reflexology is generally relaxing and may help alleviate stress. The theory behind reflexology is that areas of the foot correspond to organs and systems of the body. Pressure applied to the foot is believed to bring relaxation and healing to theRead more
