which affect a lot of people.
Many things like bad posture and
bad habits are picked up from when
we are very young and these build up
over the years to become problems. For
example, you don’t realize that your
balance issues are connected to your
posture. If I teach the patient to correct
himself, for example, to sit straight or to
stand in a proper position - it might be
just a millimetre, but the results can be
felt immediately.
What if you are flat-footed? Your
pelvis will also be affected and your
back, and this always causes pain. Year
later even if I treat the pain and how
many ever times I treat his neck, he will
come back again. But if I treat the base of
the problem, especially at the start itself,
he will be better immediately.
Childhood problems, once you reach
puberty are not easy to correct, but you
can at least prevent all the side effects.
I can work to prevent the pain but I
cannot correct what has been damaged
over the years, though I can reduce the
stress. So you see, the approach counts,
as much as the treatment.
With this machine we can measure
center of gravity, the centre of pressure,
where your foot is placed, how many
pressure points from the back and front
foot, how many degrees your knees
rotated, how many degrees your spine
rotated. Once it reads you, it proceeds
to correct your positions and gives you
an exercise regimen based on your
weakness on its own. The whole thing is
state of the art and computerized.
Where do you see Physiorelax in the next
few years?
We see it as a franchise centred
around GCC and the Middle East. We are
thinking of opening branches outside
Bahrain, maybe in Amman and Kuwait.
We will carry a bit of Bahrain, of the
expertise and training our country has
facilitated for us, across the GCC as brand
ambassadors. That is what my wife and I
have envisioned for Physiorelax.
A lot of people come in
these days with neck
pain, neck spasms and
lower back pain. These
are all part of daily life
stress, and for this we
focus on the relaxation
part of treatment.
Do you have any machines that can help
in these kinds of treatments?
We will receive a new machine
next week - a one-of-its-kind for smart
balance training, called IMOVE. It is
an Artificial Intelligence machine that
measures your balance on its own and
corrects it. So you can stand on the
machine and it will assess your balance
and adjustments required. It is useful for
all back pains that arise from 4 kinds
of balance issues - because you are not
sitting straight, because of weak ankles,
because of knee issue and because of
your head balance. These 4 elements are
very important to treat the spine.
