Who is not suitable for AposTherapy® treatment?

Generally, the AposTherapy® treatment is not suitable for individuals who:

• Have unexplained recurring falls
• Experience balance problems (that require using a walking aid indoors)
• Suffer from especially severe osteoporosis

Is AposTherapy® appropriate before joint replacement surgery?

If the surgery is in one month or more, AposTherapy® can help prepare the joint for the surgery and enable improved muscle activity until the surgery is performed. As a result of the treatment, the muscles should respond well to rehabilitation post-operatively, which will assist in returning you to normal function with less postoperative pain.

Is AposTherapy® appropriate after joint replacement surgery?

Yes. AposTherapy® enables efficient and relatively rapid rehabilitation, with less pain. AposTherapy® assists in the implementation of proper and symmetrical gait patterns following joint replacement and will improve stability and confidence when walking.

Is AposTherapy® safe?

Yes. AposTherapy® is non-surgical and drug-free. It is FDA-cleared as a medical device for treating knee OA and as a wellness device for treating other musculoskeletal conditions, including lower back pain. AposTherapy® is appropriate for most patients of all ages, including elderly patients. All AposTherapy® patients are assessed for suitability and continuously monitored. Clinical experience indicates that any side effects are minimal and rare and may manifest in mild fatigue and muscle spasms. In rare cases where these appear, they pass very quickly as treatment progresses.
