Protonics Helping You Correct Anterior Pelvic Tilt which can cause pelvic, low back and knee pain. Exclusively available at Randwick Physiotherapy Centre By using the Protonics Neuromuscular System to perform 4 simple repositioning techniques, the pelvis is moved back to a neutral position. This corrects pelvic posture and relieves the symptoms associated with:
- anterior pelvic tilt including back pain, sciatica, scoliosis, knee pain, patellar-femoral, and hamstring strain.
- Then through feed-forward neuromuscular activation, Protonics re-educates the core stabilizing muscles to maintain proper pelvic position, with or without the system attached.
Treatment is based on the following system:- Assessment of patient for presence of symptoms such as:
- With repetitive bending or squatting
- With prolonged sitting or rising from sitting
- Clicking, creaking or crepitus with activity.
- Assess patient for muscle length and balance tests:
- Ober test : Length of IT BAND
- Thomas test: Length of iliopsoas
- Hip rotation: Length of hip rotators
- Applying Protonics to most affected side and getting patient to perform four exercises at selected 1 to 10 resistance level:
- Knee bending in prone; supine ; sitting and standing
- Reassessment of symptoms and signs
Treatment of most problems requires 3-6 visits and a program of maintenance exercise at home.
