So they're looking at ways in which you can still have somebody be safe from the enemy, but also remain healthy long term.\"\u003cbr/\u003eWright says she's surprised by the the amount of movement it's created in her body.\u003cbr/\u003eShe says \"it's quite hard, it's quite sore where, you know, where my problems are, but I can feel it's putting movement in there, but what it'll feel like when I stand up I don't know.\"\u003cbr/\u003eOther gadgets here are aimed directly at the therapist like this.\u003cbr/\u003eIt looks like a handful of miniature pneumatic drills.\u003cbr/\u003eAccording to its manufacturer Theraflex it's an effective treatment for a collection of back problems including scoliosis, or curvature of the spine.\u003cbr/\u003eOsteopath Irene Phillips says \"it's like a bionic hand so the four pistons will move, but because they're all the same length they actually push the spine, the vertebra much easier than the hands can. It also stimulates the nerves and it also massages the area and in just about twenty minutes of treatment you can really change the spine and in probably three to five treatments you can get people's back pain that has been going for years.\"\u003cbr/\u003eThe pressure and sensation may not suit all patients, especially those who prefer hand treatments, but Phillips says the tool has become like an extension of her arm and sensitive enough for her to detect how her patient is feeling.\u003cbr/\u003eScoliosis sufferer Damien Mearns is already a patient arguing it's one of the few therapies that have been able to improve his condition.\u003cbr/\u003eHe says \"I have tried physiotherapy, osteopathy, craniopathy, chiropractor, kinesiology, the only other one before this that had any effect at all was rolfing, it's a massage they give to ballet dancers and top footballers.\"\u003cbr/\u003eMearns believes the therapy in conjunction with the exercises he's given ensure \"the improvements just keep on coming.\"   \u003cbr/\u003eThe Back Pain Show here in London has a lot to see so it's hardly surprising that at the end of the day people are keen to take the weight off their feet wherever they can.\u003cbr/\u003eThere's a massage on every corner, but if you're looking for something more extreme there is always the Protec lumber suspension  system.\u003cbr/\u003eAttaining that floating feeling takes a lot of strapping and harnessing before the seat is lowered to leave the patient's hips in a floating position.\u003cbr/\u003eOnce the hips are free the therapist can begin to target areas of the lower back.\u003cbr/\u003eThe company says obviously it's aimed at clinics, not the home market and should be seen as an alternative to the traditional therapist's bed.\u003cbr/\u003eIt's already used in Japan and the US, now it's inventor Fumio Katane is hoping to make it a regular feature of clinics in Europe.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more description'
