Equipment

David Physio & Sports Clinic has a range of equipment in order to facilitate diagnosis and assist with treatment and recovery. The most advanced of these is the Versa Medical Leg Press, the first of the series to be installed in the UK.

The Versa Medical Leg Press features a carriage lockout and gas-assisted foot platform, allowing medical professionals to quickly and easily change or restrict the range of motion to prevent overextension of joints involved. This allows the therapist to help/direct client/patient to work with the available range of motion in for example: lumbar-sacral, the hip, the knee and ankle. This allows/facilitates modification and/adaptation of specific movement during testing and training as per needs and ability of clients at a given stage of preparing to return to sports in a simulative way to minimize/reduce injury risks.

The foot-rest enables the therapist to isolate and work on specific target joint or muscle in an as acute angle as possible limiting the chance of accessory/compensatory work thereby making every session on the MLP matter. The MLP is a user-friendly equipment which allows easy access to user of all abilities and injury severity enabling therapists to work safely with complex spinal/lower limb injuries.

We can utilize the available incremental weight in as small amounts as 0.9 kg / 2 lbs. to help clients of all ability levels see and feel real progress in their individual limbs. Multiple optional angle settings and adaptations on the backrest (from 180-90 degrees) allows those with physical limitations or restricted joint mobility to transfer into or exit the leg press more easily and safely. This is supervised and guided for client’s safety.

It is unique piece of rehab equipment for rehab under specialists in medical rehab any patient with limited joint mobility which may result from arthritis, fracture, joint replacement in lower limb or a spinal operation. If you waiting or have had any of the above mentioned surgical interventions and feel you have not regained movement/function as you would like or expected, please do not hesitate to contact our clinic. We can work together to get you back (at your own pace) to build not only your strength but confidence thereby preventing and reduce other risks such as falling, deconditioning and development of chronic disabling pain.

Our main aim is to PREVENT RE-INJURY, FACILITATE AND ENABLE INDEPENDENCE no matter your abilities or age.
