Robin McKenzie and Howard Hill collaborated to produce the REPEX™ Therapy Table. Treating with the REPEX™ is based on the patient’s directional movement preference and provides measurable and positive outcomes particularly in the management of acute and chronic low back and leg pain patients. The REPEX™ automatically takes the patient through repetitive end-range passive-range-of-motion movements of extension and/or flexion.
The exclusive design of the REPEX™ was developed by Robin McKenzie to address mechanical disorders of the low back using the McKenzie Technique. The McKenzie Method® of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy® (MDT) is an internationally acclaimed method of assessment and treatment for spinal and extremity pain developed by New Zealand Physiotherapist Robin McKenzie. It has been widely used all over the world for more than 30 years.
"IF YOU ARE LIKE MOST PATIENTS WITH MECHANICAL BACK PAIN, YOU ARE BETTER WHEN MOVING AND WORSE WHEN YOU REMAIN IN ONE POSITION FOR PROLONGED PERIODS." ~ ROBIN MCKENZIE
PROGRAMMABLE AUTOMATIC EXTENSION AND FLEXION PROTOCOLS
The REPEX™ is equipped with a 6" HD touchscreen display which allows you to enter the depth angle for extension or flexion, hold time of each repetition, number of cycles and the total treatment time. Once programed, the table automatically and passively exercises the patient's lower back to its full available end-range.
AUTOMATICALLY CONTROL UP TO 24° EXTENSION AND 20° FLEXION.
ULTIMATE PATIENT COMFORT DURING UNASSISTED MCKENZIE EXERCISES
The REPEX™ comes standard with a sliding soft foam headpiece that glides and adds comfort to the patient experience. The armrests are adjustable in and out.
