Pain Management

Joint Performance & Longevity Protocol at PYONG Rehabilitation Penthouse Clinic

Joint pain, joint degeneration, or injury of the tendons around a joint are problems affecting quality of life, making movement catch and become difficult. Suitable rehabilitation is therefore important in order to prevent chronic degeneration and reduce the chance of recurrence, so that it does not reach the point where the injury of the joint is so severe that surgery is the only method of treatment left.

The Joint Performance & Longevity Protocol at PYONG Rehabilitation Penthouse Clinic (floor 11, Gaysorn Tower, next to BTS Chidlom) has been designed by rehabilitation physicians and a multidisciplinary team to care comprehensively for those with problems of the joints and the muscles, using modern technology combined with functional treatment at every step. It is a comprehensive programme of treatment that will make the patient's movement better and more stable, leading to a better quality of life for the patient.

What is the Joint Performance & Longevity Protocol?

This programme is the rehabilitation of the joints and the muscles, combining several techniques of rehabilitation medicine together, such as Robotic Isokinetic Exercise Training, Therapeutic Joint Exercise, Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation (PMS), High Power Laser Therapy, and Ultrasound Therapy. The aim is to help increase the strength of the joint, reduce the pain, and rebalance the working of the muscle as close to normal as possible.

It suits those with joint degeneration, joint inflammation, injury of the tendons or muscles around a joint, and also those who want to extend the working life of the joint in order to maintain good movement in the long term.

How does the Joint Performance & Longevity Protocol work?

The process of working consists of several steps designed to reinforce one another.

The steps of the service

Assessment by a rehabilitation physician, in order to find the cause and set a programme for the individual. The doctor and the physiotherapist will design a plan of treatment using these procedures so that the greatest result of treatment arises.

Therapeutic Joint Exercise & Manual Therapy: exercise of the joint by the physiotherapist in order to release the muscle and increase the range of movement
Robotic Isokinetic Exercise Training: stimulating exercise of the joint precisely and with controllable resistance
Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation (PMS): helping stimulate the nerves and the muscles at particular points
High Power Laser & Ultrasound Therapy: in order to reduce inflammation and relieve pain

During it, the person receiving the service will feel as if they are doing physiotherapy together with an assisting device, which usually causes no pain.

The symptoms/conditions suited to the Joint Performance & Longevity Protocol

Chronic shoulder pain / frozen shoulder
Having had repeated shoulder dislocation
Degeneration of the knee joint, degeneration of the hip joint
Joint pain from repeated use, such as in athletes
Pain in the neck, the upper back, and the back from abnormal posture
Injury of the anterior cruciate ligament or of the ligaments around a joint
Rehabilitation after surgery on a joint or a muscle
Older adults who want to reinforce the stability of the joint
A compressed nerve making the joint and the muscle work abnormally
Those with joint inflammation from use

The academic evidence on the Joint Performance & Longevity Protocol

Several pieces of research indicate that the use of Robotic Exercise Training technology may help restore the working of the joint better than ordinary exercise, since it can control the force and the range of movement precisely.

Besides this, Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation (PMS) is also reported as possibly helping stimulate the working of the nerves and reduce pain in those with musculoskeletal problems.

Supplementing with High Power Laser and Ultrasound Therapy is found to have a part in relieving inflammation and increasing the effectiveness of treatment by manual therapy.

However, the result will differ from one individual to another, and it must be under the assessment and care of a doctor.

How often should the Joint Performance & Longevity Protocol be done?

In general this programme is usually done 1–2 times a week, so that the body has time to recover and adapt. The doctor will assess and adjust the frequency according to the symptoms; those with a great deal of pain, for example, may begin more frequently, and gradually reduce the frequency as the symptoms improve.

The important thing is continuous follow-up, because a single treatment is usually not enough.

When should a result be expected?

Short term (the first session to the first week): you may feel relaxed, with less tightness of the muscle, and able to move more easily
Long term (4–6 weeks and beyond): the movement of the joint may become nimbler, the pain reduced, and daily activities better carried out

The result, however, depends on the severity of the symptoms and on following the advice of the doctor and the physiotherapist.

Safety and points to be careful of

Although this programme is usually safe, there are points to be careful of, namely:

Those with a pacemaker (Pacemaker)
Those with high blood pressure that is still not controlled
Those with a fever or an acute infection
Those with a severe injury or a fracture that has not yet healed

Everyone will have their history taken, be examined, and be assessed by a rehabilitation physician before receiving the service, always.
