The Evolution RMT™ Repex Motion Therapy
Delivering a new level of effectiveness to the priniciples of Cox and McKenzie.
The Evolution RMT™ is used in the clinical setting to enhance the effectiveness of repeated end-range movement therapy for the low back. The Evolution RMT™ table enables the lumbar spine to be moved to the full degree of end-range movement in flexion and/or extension for a greater number of times than is physically possible by the patient alone. In the beginning stage of rehabilitation, the patient often times has a hard time getting to full end-range position due to pain. Often, the poor physical endurance levels of the patient prevent them from doing movements long enough for a valid response. The Evolution RMT™ allows the patient to start rehabilitation earlier and maintain the success of their prescribed home exercise program.

The treatment protocols of the Evolution RMT™ are 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 that is void of a neurological deficit. Directional movement preference theory uses the rule of centralization to evaluate and proceed into rehabilitation using activities that centralize the patient's pain. Recently published scientific research articles have established that the presence of centralization can be a strong indicator of discogenic pathology and is a highly accurate and reliable predictor of treatment outcome. Movement, activities and postures that cause the symptoms to centralize indicate the preferred direction(s) for the doctor/therapist to use in developing both an in-office and self-treatment strategy for each patient. Simultaneously, the doctor/therapist must teach the patient how to avoid those positions, activities and movements that cause the symptoms to move peripherally.
Many patients suffering from low back or neck pain, with or without referred pain, will unmistakably exhibit a direction preference when repeated movement and/or static positioning are applied to the spine. This means there will be a particular movement or position that will cause the symptoms to shift to a more central (proximal) location. Frequently, there will be other movements or positions which will cause the symptoms to shift to a more peripheral (distal) location. An example of this is the patient who when asked to go into an extension movement (restoring normal lordosis), which in turn reduces the pain. This is the directional movement we want to begin exercise movements that will start their rehab. The Evolution RMT™ takes the patient through end-range passive range-of-motion repetitive movements and reduces the patient's pain while increasing the patient's ROM.
