What sort of results does MedX® treatment produce?

Several studies have documented outcomes for groups of chronic low back pain patients treated using intensive specific exercise using a firm pelvic stabilisation (MedX® Lumbar Extensor Machine).

The research...

Risch's study (SPINE 1993) reported that specific exercise for isolated lumbar extensor muscles substantially increased low-back strength in chronic low back pain patients versus a wait-listed control group. Additionally, increased strength was associated with perceived improvements in physical and psychosocial functioning.
