| 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.

Scientific studies on this technique
(there is some well done research on MedX)...
