  "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 

I (Irene Phillips) was privileged to be the first osteopath in the world to be trained in the use of Power Assisted Micro-manipulation (PAMM) by one of the inventors Robert Taylor. I now also use the next generation Theraflex system designed by the joint inventor of PAMM, Mathew Stobart.  They are both similar  tools, and as  every patient is different so the techniques  we have developed over the years for different conditions  will vary in duration and intensity, depending on the age and condition of the patient. ..  In the hands of a skilled practitioner, the results can be very effective as can be seen on the website www.scoliosis cures and pain relief. and our press cuttings.

I came across powered moblsing  in 1997 when as a back sufferer myself I was seeing my osteopath every 2-3 weeks just to keep working.  Following a demonstration, I realised how this treatment had made my spine more supple and cancelled my next 3 appointments and have never looked back.  It is a very logical treatment fitting in with osteopathic principles,  using a tool to mobilise the spine, massage and stimulate the spinal nerves.   All these years later, many patients come from all around the world for treatment, but having written to Tony Blair in 1998 and spoken on BBC Breakfast News when he had a back problem, this treatment has still not got nearer to being in the NHS where it would help some of the most chronic back patients.  See link for info on where osteopathy is available on the NHS.  I have treated over 5,000 patients with this revolutionary treatment, using a bionic hand which has four pistons powered by compressed air, you can mobilise the spine in a way you can't do with the human hand and using the SpinalMouse can document changes.  Please see videos to see how they both work.  Giving the hundreds of different manual treatments I have had  over the years, none had ever made my spine supple except for this one. . A good test is to place your hands and push down on a teenager and that of a middle aged person and see the difference and how powered mobilising may be able to rejuvenate the spine. Most back pain (97%) is mechanical in origin and should be treatable. If a systemic (other disorder which may lead to back pain) is suspected we would refer you to your medical professional for further investigations.

I have also worked with my fellow osteopath, John Bayliss who has written books  and published DVDs on Spinal Mechanics, to utilise the equipment to fit in with osteopathic principles.

 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,  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. 

The 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.
