Physiotherapists
Technology can significantly enhance the practice of physiotherapy in several ways. By integrating technology into their practises, physiotherapists can improve patient outcomes, enhance efficiency, and provide a more tailored and engaging rehabilitation experience.
Physiotherapists play a crucial role in improving patient outcomes through various strategies and interventions. From personalised treatment plans, evidence-based practice, pain, functional rehabilitation, education and empowerment, preventative strategies, motivational support and use of technology, these approaches aid physiotherapists in significantly enhancing functional abilities, reduce pain, and improve overall quality of life for their patients.
By integrating the range of solutions from SportsMed and our partners, physiotherapists can play a vital role in reducing waiting times for patients. By providing direct access to these solutions, patients can begin their rehabilitation journey sooner without needing a referral from a doctor or GP.

- Allows patients to rehabilitate with less pain while reducing the risk of further injury, which may enable patients to heal faster.
- Provides physiotherapists a precise way to track patient progress, keeping patients engaged and motivated during rehab.

- Acts as both a rehab device and wellness tool that gets patients excited to continue using it for training beyond short term rehab.
AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmills enhance physiotherapist’s ability to help patients recover faster, and increases the marketability of their practice.
HUR
HUR offers specialised strength training solutions specifically designed for rehabilitation and physical therapy centres. These solutions & equipment provide a safe, easy to use, and effective full-body workout for wellness, preventive, rehabilitative, and maintenance training. HUR’s pneumatic strength training equipment is specifically designed to provide rehabilitation and physical therapy patients, as well as older adults, with safe, targeted training appropriate for a diverse range of ability and stamina levels.
Pneumatic technology follows the natural movement of the muscle and is easy on joints. The lack of inertia makes the machines ideally suitable for people undergoing rehabilitation, as well as for those who are training for strength maintenance and strength building purposes. It is safe, easy to use and effective at both low and high movement speeds.
For many other brands, minimum resistance starts at several kilos and resistance is increased in 2.5 kg increments. The HUR solutions start at a resistance level close to zero, and changes in weight can be set in 100g or 1kg increments.
HUR’s Easy Access range is designed to meet the specific needs of wheelchair users and those with mobility and sensory impairments. Through easy to roll out seats, the strength training equipment has been designed to enable the integration of disabled people into mainstream facilities, so the machines are equally suitable for regular exercisers eliminating the need for two types of equipment – truly inclusive.
NuStep
NuStep recumbent cross trainers are widely used by physiotherapists in a variety of settings, including Orthopaedic and Neurology clinics. The NuStep provides a low-impact, full-body cardio, and strength workout to help improve physical fitness. With a low-inertia start-up, user-controlled step length, and multiple resistance levels, the NuStep recumbent cross trainer allows patients to control their workout and adjust it as they build strength and increase stamina.
The effectiveness of exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation in speeding recovery after a cardiac event is well-known. Unfortunately, many with heart-related conditions are unable to use traditional exercise equipment to get the aerobic exercise they need to recover. NuStep provides access to safe, full-body cardiovascular and strength training exercises that can meet the needs of a wide variety of patients.
For users with reduced function, a range of accessories is available for the NuStep recumbent cross trainers, including leg stabilisers, hand grips, and leg and torso straps, allowing users of any ability to use the system safely and without hinderance.
