Pneumex Unweighting Treatmill

Unweighting is defined as applying a vertical support to a patient in order to lessen weight-bearing stress. As seen in the picture, the Noramco PT50.1 treadmill uses a harness system to lift you and literally make you lighter on your feet. We can take as much as 120 pounds of weight off your frame, which can accelerate the healing process for lumbar and lower extremity injuries in a number of ways.

Decreasing weight-bearing stress allows the rehabilitation and healing of injured tissue to begin sooner, utilizing task-specific functional exercises without the pain. If you have a postsurgical weight-bearing restriction of 50%, we can take 50% of your body off of you and allow you to train in a partial weight-bearing environment.

By taking weight off your frame, thus decreasing the effects of gravity on your joints, we can effectively treat patients with conditions like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. We are the ONLY physical therapy treatment center that offers this technology in the Lehigh Valley. Check out http://www.pneumex.com/id32.html to see a video tutorial on the many uses of our Unweighting treadmill.

Pneu-Vib vibration plate

Vibration Training is the utilization of various frequencies of vibration to stimulate specific anatomical structures and anatomical systems such as the neuromuscular systems, pain-control system, and balance systems. The use of the whole-body vibration has been around for a long time. The old Soviet Union used vibration as a sports performance tool. We are currently using it for our sports performance program and seeing fantastic results.  For postsurgical rehabilitation and acute low-back conditions, whole-body vibration is a highly successful specialized piece of equipment that helps speed recovery and enhances the rehabilitation process. Check out http://www.pneumex.com/id43.html to see a video tutorial on the benefits of vibration plate training.
