Integrating Innovative Technology to Enhance Hypermobility Care
At our clinic, we leverage innovative technology to provide advanced care for those with hypermobility. Our approach includes:
• Posture and Functional Movement Assessments: We use video analysis apps to evaluate posture and movement patterns, helping identify areas that need improvement for optimal function and pain relief.
• Real-Time Ultrasound Imaging: This technology allows us to visualise muscle activation during treatment, helping clients learn to recruit deep muscle support effectively for improved stability.
• Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES): Using Compex muscle stimulators, we stimulate muscles to enhance strength and function, supporting better neuromuscular control and rehabilitation outcomes.
By integrating these cutting-edge technologies, we empower clients to achieve better movement quality, strength, and overall management of their hypermobility symptoms.
