HealthNOW Physical Therapy is unique in that it uses Pneumex, an innovative piece of equipment that uses pneumatics to treat chronic back pain, Scoliosis, sciatica and post surgery rehabilitation.

The Pneu-M.A.P. has five primary purposes:

  • Quantifies postural curves
  • Determines postural deficiencies
  • Monitors patient progress
  • Educates patients, doctors and insurance companies
  • Determines protocols for the Pneu-Back Chair


The Pneu-Back Chair has four primary purposes:

  • Allows for strength evaluation at specific levels along the vertebral column.
  • Isolates and strengthens specific levels along the vertebral column.
  • Establishes specific strength and range of motion deficiencies
  • Trains joint receptors for improved postural awareness.


The Pneu-Weight has six primary purposes:


  • Allows for safe gait evaluation and enhancement
  • Allows for partial weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing for post surgery patients
  • Allows program access for patients who otherwise could not participate, including amputees, neuro muscular disorders, injury, and excess weight.
  • Allows for quick and predictable success with patients who otherwise impose significant challenges to the clinician.
  • Allows control of cervical and lumbar Unweighting.
  • Allows for safe multilateral and overspeed programs.
