How is getback different from other back pain treatments?
getback Head of Exercise Physiology Adam Cabble explains how exercise based therapy is changing the way chronic back and neck pain is treated.
How we treat back pain
getback uses medically-registered rehabilitation devices to safely increase the strength and flexibility of the deep spinal muscles that stabilise and support the spine. The devices are designed by Biomechanists and Exercise Scientists to precisely target and rebuild the deep spinal muscles.
Spinal health you can see
getback™ devices are designed to safely control loading and guide every movement during your individual treatment plan. The devices provide continual feedback to ensure you’re exercising within the prescribed safe range, and measure your strength and mobility for review with our Physiotherapists and Exercise Physiologists.

getback™ devices are designed by biomechanical specialists and exercise scientists to a medical rehabilitation standard. The devices are registered with the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) of Australia as Medical Grade One Devices.
The devices are designed for isoinertial exercise, where resistance matches the muscle’s capacity thorough the total range of movement. These properties ensure that exercises are performed in the pain-free range, and find the right target in the lumbar spine.
