The SNAIX training motivates patients over long periods of time
After testing SNAIX training most therapists agreed upon the fact, that it yields much better motivation for the patients compared to other exercises and training forms and that it remains very attractive for a long period of time.
With both SNAIX training methods (active mobilization or reactive stabilization) the neuronal system and all movements will be optimized and the spinal column and trunk will be stabilized.
SNAIX training offers many possibilities for therapeutic application
Training Philosophy
| Ecercise manual SNAIX trainer
Orthopedics
Warm-up training:
SNAIX training is perfect for a fast warm-up training before treatment (osteopathy, chiropractic etc.). In general, training units of only 5 minutes are sufficient
Training of muscle chains
Back training
For prevention and therapy of problems due to weak back muscules and/or tensions. The tonus is lowered very fast (already after 10-15 minutes of training), tensions, pains and muscular dysbalances along the spinal column are reduced. SNAIX training is particularly suitable for treatment of scoliosis (goal: riding the SNAIX neuro bike)
Training of the diagonal back muscle system (Multifidii).
Due to biomechanical-geometrical reasons all neccessary moves on SNAIX training gear can only be done with the diagonal muscles.
Osteoporosis:
The activation of the Multifidii muscle system improves nutrition of the vertebrae.
Training of chest, trunk and belly muscles
Mobilization of the spinal column by contra lateral rotation and lateral flexion, in particular lower spine
Improvement of the proprioceptive system e.g. secure walking for the elderly, facilitation of movement patterns after a hip or knee operations
Proprioceptive training and build-up of muscles after operations – recommended for therapy after slipped disks or slipped disk operations
Neurology
Vestibular and proprioceptive stimulation and optimization of the balance system
Treatment of motor dysfunctions. Children can be easily treated while they playfully ride the SNAIX walking bike
Therapy after Apoplexia . Motor training, reaction and trunk control, centering the body. Stimulation of the neural system
Therapy with certain forms of hemiparesis (also after coma)
Therapy of certain forms of spasticity. Decrease and normalisation of muscle tonus (e.g. reduction of spasticity, activation of weak or paralysed muscles)
Treatment of Parkinson:
SNAIX training decreases tenacity of muscles and improves the walking pattern
As addition to proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation treatment (PNF) with illnesses of the peripheral nervous system (also Multiple Sclerosis)
Support of movement therapy for incomplete paralization in certain cases. Reactivation of proprioceptive activities and senso motor functions
Cardiology
Enhanced ergometer training. Tests have shown that SNAIX training appears relatively easy going although after a short while a substantial training effect is recognizable. The multi-layered demands of the movement pattern and the associated mental requirements as well as the activity of "muscle chains" ask for high energy input. Compared to conventional ergometer training, SNAIX training requires higher overall performance, showing balanced results even after short training units. Please apply only with additional heart frequency control
Oncology
We already have proof (long-term haemato-oncological study), that training on the SNAIX trainer as well as on the SNAIX neuro bike outdoors yields an astonishing increase of the mental status of cancer patients with even short, but regular training-sessions. The mental status is crucial for the success of any kind of cancer therapy.
All other compared methods (like jogging, biking, mental training, joga etc.) have shown remarkable lower efficiency.
Diabetes
Newest reports from diabetes patients propose efficient control of sugar levels with SNAIX training. Compared to normal ergometer training, the SNAIX training yields the same results within approx. half the time – holistic training in muscle chains needs more energy!
Equipment recommendation
SNAIX studio trainer:
precise heart rate and endurance measures, new system for measurement of coordination status, data record. This specific indoor application we call the original SNAIX 8move training. At this moment we are interested to find a new producer for the studio trainers.
SNAIX trainer (SNAIX stan with fixed SNAIX neuro bike):
Please add eddy current brake and pulse measuring equipment for profesional use in practices.
SNAIX neuro bike:
Only to be used by rather sportive, secure and experienced patients
SNAIX walking bike:
For neuronal therapy of children from 2 - 6 years (also with diseases such as motor dysfunctions, rheumatism, spina bifida, mucoviscidosis, obesity etc.)
All SNAIX gear was tested in clinics and practices several times and still is.
For the application of SNAIX training therapy the age of patients is not substantial - decisions to be made with regard to specific diagnosis and situation.
