  "Now I am in a position to insist that I know the only person in the world who can make bad backs better"

Jonathan Self, Country Life 4.8.2005 

Irene Phillips was privileged to be the first osteopath in the world to be trained in the use of the Power Assisted Micro-manipulator (PAMM) in 1997,  developed by Robert Taylor and Matthew Stobart and now the next generation Theraflex system.  She was trained by Robert Taylor, who has just published results on the efficacy of this treatment over other manual therapy.The clinic has successfully treated over 5,000 patients with this method and using the SpinalMouse can document the improvements in the spine. Using a  bionic hand, which has four pisons powered by compressed air, it is possible to mobilise the spine more efficiently than the hands alone, restoring suppleness to the spine, by taking the overstressing of the joints which have stiffened up. Contrast the springiness of a teenage spine to a middle age person and you can see which areas of the spine need to be loosened up.  Some patients have come as far away as US, Greece, France, Spain, India and South Africa for treatment due to its success. If the problem is non-mechanical, we would refer you back to your doctor for further investigations. Approximately 97% of back pain is mechanical and therefore treatable.  Irene, as an osteopath, would also like to provide this service to NHS patients under NICE guidelines, but it is not currently available in the Surrey area.  

This treatment fits in with the principles of osteopathy, which believes that "structure governs function" or anatomy governs physiology and the body's natural capacity to heal itself when the spine and muscles are functioning efficiently, which is the aim of the treatment - to restore mobility and speed up the healing process, but using a tool which is touch sensitive to get the joints working again.

 We can help patients who have suffered years of pain, tried lots of treatment or help patients avoid long term suffering.  Most back pain is mechanical in origin and can be helped. We would always refer patients on for further testing if we feel the pain is not mechanical, e.g. bladder, kidney problems, and can refer patients for MRIs privately. 

Conditions we can treat are the severe chronic back and neck problems that have not responded to traditional therapy, whiplash injuries, scoliosis, kyophosis, headaches, frozen shoulder, sciatica (wonderful explanation on link) and prolapsed disc problems. Many of our patients have cancelled their surgery or injections because of this treatment and we have got people off of long term disability benefits.  However, even a healthy spine would benefit from a maintenance to avoid long term problems and it is better to start treatment before any problems develop.

The solution. 

Advanced Spinal Mobilization InstrumentThe image to the left shows how the  device activates a deep spinal reflex by tapping specific points of the vertebrae to move apart and then alternatively back towards correct positioning, thus springing the spinal joints back towards their normal physiological range, in other words, it helps to realign the spine quickly and effectively and with remarkable ease and comfort.

The patient lies down on their stomach on the special Mantiss plinth and the device is used up and down the spine. It is also particularly good for loosening up tight, tense spasmodic muscles.
