MedX

MedX is a machine based program developed by the inventor of the nautilus healthclub machines.  It's principle is that you must have isolation of the neck, upper back, or lower back muscles to strengthen these areas.  To the extent that you have weakness in the postural muscles (very common), this can be a fantastic technique.  However, patients with instability or facet syndrome don't usually tolerate this type of treatment without getting those problems fixed. 

Good candidates for MedX are those patients who feel like their head weighs a thousand pounds.  MedX can help strengthen the small multifidi muscles which help hold the curve.
