Lumbar Rehab

80% of all Americans will experience a back problem at some time in their lives, mostly as a result of weakened and deconditioned muscles in the low back. The answer to this problem seems relatively easy and that is to strengthen the low back. The problem is trying to isolate the back muscles without using other larger muscle groups such as the hamstrings and gluteus.

Effectively eliminating all other muscle groups is where our patented MedX Core Lumbar Strength Machine comes in. Only the Core Lumbar Strength features a patented and effective pelvic restraint system that keeps gluteus and hamstring muscles from interfering with the targeted spinal exercise area. This provides isolation of the lumbar spine muscles, increases stability and allows for specific, intensive strengthening in one of the body’s most important and yet vulnerable areas.

Regular use of the Core Lumbar Strength may help prevent injuries, relieve chronic back pain and contribute to disc hydration. Click here to learn more.
