Precise, measurable, computerised spinal rehabilitation — targeting the muscles conventional equipment simply cannot reach.

A Different Approach to Spine Care

At Workstrong Physiotherapy we invest in the David Spine Solution because we believe our patients deserve measurable, lasting results — not just symptom management.

The David system was developed in Finland in the 1980s by David Health Solutions after a key clinical insight: the vicious cycle of back pain → inactivity → muscle deconditioning → more pain can be carefully and precisely reversed. The patented hip-lock mechanism immobilises the pelvis so only the target spinal muscles are loaded — something no standard gym machine or physiotherapy equipment can replicate.

We use this technology for chronic back and neck pain, post-surgical rehabilitation, disc problems, core stability, and spinal deconditioning — producing outcomes that are not just felt by the patient, but objectively measured at every session.

Introducing the David Spine Solution

This short overview explains how the system works and why it produces results that conventional physiotherapy alone cannot always achieve.

Full machine overview — watch each device in the David Spine Concept explained in sequence:

How Your Treatment Works

1

Initial Evaluation

A comprehensive Digital Spine Analysis (DSA) measures your strength, mobility and range of motion across six planes of spinal movement, establishing your individual baseline.

2

Personalised Program

The EVE software auto-generates a personalised 16–24 session program based on your test results and goals. Your program is adjusted every session based on real performance data.

3

Supervised Progressive Training

2–3 sessions per week over 8–12 weeks. Each device gives you real-time biofeedback — speed, range and load all guided automatically. Sessions typically 45–60 minutes.

4

Measurable Outcomes

Re-testing at the end of your program produces a second DSA. You receive objective data showing your strength and mobility gains — not just a patient satisfaction score.

Why the Hip-Lock Changes Everything

Conventional exercise equipment and standard physiotherapy cannot isolate the deep spinal stabiliser muscles. The David patented hip-lock mechanism is what makes this possible.

EVE spinal evaluation system

Patented Hip-Lock Mechanism

Immobilises the pelvis so only the target spinal muscles are loaded. Impossible to replicate on conventional gym or physio equipment.

Six Planes of Movement

Extension, flexion, rotation, lateral flexion — both lumbar and cervical — are all measured and trained. Most programs target only 1–2 planes.

EVE Cloud Software

Every rep, every session, every patient — stored and analysed. RFID login, real-time biofeedback, adaptive loading, home programs and outcome reporting in one platform.

Medical Grade Certification

EU Class 1m Electromechanical Rehabilitation Devices — the same regulatory standard as medical equipment, not gym machinery.

The David Spine Devices

Each device targets a specific plane of spinal movement with the same precision fixation and computerised measurement.

Workstrong David Spine room — full equipment suite

G110 — Lumbar Extension

Targets the lumbar extensors in the sagittal plane. The hip-lock isolates the erector spinae and multifidus — the most important stabilising muscles of the lower back.

Watch G110 in action

G120 — Torso Rotation

Transverse plane rotation targeting obliques and deep rotators. Often the most neglected spinal direction in conventional rehabilitation.

G130 — Abdominal Flexion

Isolated abdominal loading with hip-flexor elimination — trains the rectus abdominis and anterior stabilisers safely and effectively.

G140 — Cervical Extension

Targets neck extensors and lateral flexors. Used in cervical rehabilitation, post-whiplash recovery and cervicogenic headache management.

G150 — Lateral Flexion

Frontal plane stabilisation targeting the lateral spinal stabilisers — critical for functional balance and scoliosis management programs.

Watch G150 in action

G160 — Cervical Rotation

The most neglected neck muscles trained in isolation. Significantly improves cervical rotation range and reduces chronic neck pain.

G210 — Leg Press

Multi-function hip and knee loading device. Supports full-chain rehabilitation integrating the lower limb with spinal stability training.

G260 — Hip Extension

Isolated hip extensor loading. Addresses the gluteal weakness pattern commonly associated with chronic lower back pain.

What the Research Shows

The David Spine Solution has been evaluated in peer-reviewed studies across multiple countries and populations. Here are the key findings:

235 Patients — India, 2015 (PMC4540835)

Pain score dropped from 4.8 → 0.6 and Oswestry Disability from 39% → 15% in just 6 weeks of treatment (p=0.0001).

447 Patients — Netherlands, 2025 (Real-World Data)

Oswestry Disability improved by 5.9 points (effect size d=0.91), trunk strength improved in all 6 directions (median effect d=1.13), fear of movement reduced by 5.5 points.

~30,000 Patients/year — Germany (Insurer Data)

78% reduction in sick days for chronic back pain patients. Return on investment of 4.7:1 for health insurers.

Adolescents — Romania, 2024

67% pain reduction in adolescent back pain patients, with 80–100% quality of life improvement reported.

David Spine Solution FAQs

What is the David Spine Solution? +

A computerised, medically certified spinal rehabilitation system with 8 specialised machines that target the deep stabilising muscles of the spine — muscles conventional equipment cannot isolate. Each machine guides you through precise, measurable exercises with biofeedback.

Who is it suitable for? +

Ideal for chronic back or neck pain, disc injuries, post-surgical rehab, and those who haven't responded to conventional physiotherapy. Also suitable for older adults and people with limited exercise tolerance.

How many sessions will I need? +

Most patients see significant improvement over a 12–24 session course. Your physiotherapist will recommend a personalised programme based on your condition and goals.

Is it covered by health insurance? +

Yes — covered under physiotherapy extras with most private health funds. WorkSafe and TAC funding may also apply. Contact us for details.
