Precision Beyond Pain
WHAT MAKES OUR SPINAL REHAB DIFFERENT?
We don’t guess. We measure, monitor, and recalibrate with precision tech and human expertise.
01/
Neuroflex neurocognitive assessment
- Used by the world’s top sports organizations, our Neuroflex system tracks:
- Visual-cognitive reflex speed
- Oculomotor control
- Neurocognitive balance and reaction patterns
- Recovery risk and progression mapping
02/
3D motion capture and force platform analysis
- We assess how you move – and what’s breaking down – using:
- AI-powered 3D biomechanical scans
- Ground reaction force plates for load tolerance
- Dynamic balance, postural sway, and gait integrity tracking
03/
Handheld dynamometry
- We don’t estimate spinal strength. We measure segmental force production across:
- Deep stabilisers (multifidus, transverse abdominis)
- Core and posterior chain
- Neck flexor/extensor balance
- Glute-spinal power transfer
From day one, we’ll show you the data – and how your spine is recovering, session by session.
