Biokinetics, a specialized healthcare field focused on improving health through structured exercise (often called "exercise is medicine"), is evolving to meet modern demands. Historically, practice relied on subjective patient feedback (e.g., pain reports).

Deep Oscillation Therapy operates on a unique principle, utilising a specialised device that generates an electrostatic field. When applied to the skin, this field creates gentle, deep-acting oscillations within the body's tissues, penetrating up to 8 cm deep.

Isokinetic exercise, a sophisticated training method utilizing specialized machines, offers remarkable benefits for muscle strengthening, joint stability, and injury prevention. Unlike traditional weightlifting, isokinetic machines dynamically adjust resistance to match the user's strength throughout the entire range of motion, ensuring maximum force exertion and efficient strength development in a controlled environment.

Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and Electronic Muscle Stimulation (EMS) are non-invasive therapies widely used for pain relief and neuromuscular adaptation. However, the clinical research supporting the efficacy of TENS in chronic pain management is limited by significant methodological flaws, including small sample sizes and inconsistent reporting of stimulation parameters.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a condition for which there is a portfolio of devices that can be used for treatment. These include pressurised metered dose inhalers (pMDI), pMDIs with a spacer, soft mist inhalers (SMI), dry powder inhalers (DPI), and nebulisers.

Internationally Patented, Electrostatic Field Therapy. In contrast to externally applied, mechanical forms of therapy (e.g. vibration on the surface of the skin), the therapeutic effect of deep oscillation (also known as DEEP OSCILLATION® or HIVAMAT®) permeates a depth of 8 cm through skin, connective tissue, subcutaneous fat tissue, muscles, blood and lymphatic vessels, with a range of clinically proven effects.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a critical procedure for restoring knee stability and function in patients experiencing severe knee injuries. Post-surgery, the recovery of quadriceps strength is vital for ensuring successful rehabilitation and reducing the risk of re-injury.

Have you heard of dry needling? It’s a procedure that’s growing in popularity due to its ability to reduce pain in some patients. If you’re wondering if you should add dry needling to your existing skill set, you’re not alone. Find out more about dry needling and decide if it's a good fit for your patients!

Thanks to the application of FIT Therapy products at the point of pain, it is possible to alleviate musculoskeletal discomfort and intervene in functional recovery processes on muscle tissue affected by contractures and inflammation.

These platforms measure ground reaction forces (GRF), providing invaluable data for understanding movements like walking, running, and jumping. A pioneering study by Vasileios Mylonas, Christos Chalitsios, and Thomas Nikodelis breaks new ground by validating the use of portable K-Deltas force platforms, offering the potential to extend biomechanical analysis beyond the laboratory to real-world settings.
