The treatment of the future. ​
Waterbear clinic is a high-end clinic in Lebanon with 9 Doctors of Physical Therapy. Waterbear staff also teach at the Saint Joseph university. Waterbear has an extensive professional development program to ensure updated knowledge and skills to deliver excellent healthcare. The use of innovative tools like Qinematic accelerates progressive development and constant self-growth for our valuable team members. ​

Our Journey with Qinematic started at the beginning of 2019. We are constantly looking for methods and technology for the treatments of the future. The 3D scans and feedback software were eye opening for our team. Access to objective information was a surprisingly easy, simple and accurate way to look into a client's bio-mechanics and movement patterns. For the therapists it felt like when the medicine was discovered for anesthesia.​

Impact of Covid-19 & the reaction from Waterbear

​We made a good start to 2020, until the COVID -19 pandemic imposed social distancing. This affected our busy clinic tremendously. Clinicians could not consult with patients in person, and manual treatment was not possible. ​
​The entire physical therapy / rehabilitation industry is under threat, despite so many people suffering at home from musculoskeletal, neurological and chronic cases. Physical therapist need to do a subjective assessment and a functional assessment to diagnose problems and make recommendations.

High quality interventions and Client satisfaction. ​
For us at Waterbear, Qinematic software was the right digital tool at the right time. It enabled the physiotherapists to combine high-quality online feedback and prescription of corrective exercises. ​
With Qinematic system we have now supported more than 245 patients of our community in just one month. The bonus effect was high customer satisfaction and high efficiency of our Physios. They love the tool. ​

The way we work is simple. We put the portable scan unit in an isolated area. The scan is automated so we did not need to physically meet the patients. It takes just a few minutes to record the movements, and then they have an online consultation with our therapists – all from the comfort of their homes. ​

Now we can measure, assess, monitor and engage patients as they do their prescribed exercise plans and follow our advice.

The majority of people have never spent a minute doing homework after high school graduation but physiotherapists assign homework on a regular basis. In school, it was understood that in order to get great marks, homework had to be completed. In physiotherapy, strength-based exercises are considered homework and its completion has a direct impact on results. In other words, if you’re recovering from an injury and want to get back to playing sports, please do your homework!

- Recovery is highly important for high-performing athletes in a bid to reduce fatigue, enhance performance and prevent injuries.
Increasing blood flow is the main mechanism proposed to facilitate recovery.
Blood flow can be increased by Swimming, Sports Massage, Active Stretching, Low Intensity Trainings and cupping therapy.
Stay active while recovering!

- Tight muscles are weak muscles .
Most of the time, stretching your tight muscles doesn’t do any difference and isn’t that beneficial.
Because, in that case, your muscles don’t need to be stretched, but need to be activated.
If you feel tightness in any part of your body, Call your Physiotherapist, he could help.

Activating lumbar stabilizers to treat Low Back Pain.
Core stability refers to the ability of the body to control the trunk (core),
It involves control of deep stabilising muscles.
Good core stability is using the right muscles at the right time and the right intensity to control the trunk appropriately for the task at hand.
Muscles of the body are either local (stabilizers) or global (movement muscles).

In addition to your abdominal muscles, your core includes muscles in your back and hips that work together to stabilize your spine and keep it in alignment.
When your core muscles are weak, your spine doesn’t have adequate support to maintain perfect posture naturally. Your other muscles begin to compensate to help you stay erect, which can lead not just to a slouchy stance, but a host of other issues such as instability, neck and shoulder tension, lower back pain or injury.

Bad position: This occurs when your chair is too low or the keyboard is too close to your body, resulting in closed elbows, shrugged shoulders and wrists flexion.
How to Fix: Raise your seat height so your elbows are at an open 90-110 degree angle and the keyboard is at the same level of your wrists, pull back your seat if necessary and Relax your shoulders.

Athletes who use cupping therapy claim that it helps relieve muscle soreness.
The pressure from the vacuum pulls the tissue upwards, breaking small blood vessels that will increase local inflammation, bringing in proteins that improve healing.
We prefer not to use it as a treatment, we only use it as a post workout recovery.
Many studies showed that active treatment is much better than passive treatment.

The short answer is YES , stress can lead to back pain. It all depends on your natural response to stress.

When stress manifests physically, it causes us to tighten our muscles, particularly the muscles around our shoulders and down our spine. It is the tension of these lower back muscles that causes us to experience pain, and is known as Tension Myositis Syndrome.
If you're experiencing this type of pain, we can help!

Children are most likely to develop Osgood-Schlatter disease between the ages of 9 and 15. Osgood-Schlatter disease is the result of the patellar tendon or the tendon that is over the kneecap pulling on the growth plate just below the knee and on the tibia or shin-bone. The area becomes swollen, tender and painful with activities. Stretching, low-impact exercises and other precautions may be taken to reduce Osgood-Schlatter symptoms.
Majority of the symptoms of Osgood-Schlatter tend to go away once the child stops growing. This happens usually when the child attains puberty, which is around age 14 for girls and age 16 for boys.

𝑺𝑻𝑹𝑬𝑻𝑪𝑯𝑬𝑺
Tight thigh or quadriceps muscles can cause more tension on the patellar tendon and therefore further pull and irritate the area below the knee. .
𝑺𝑻𝑹𝑬𝑵𝑮𝑻𝑯𝑬𝑵𝑰𝑵𝑮
Strengthening exercises may help decrease your child's symptoms associated with Osgood-Schlatter disease.
𝑲𝑵𝑬𝑬 𝑺𝑻𝑨𝑩𝑰𝑳𝑰𝒁𝑨𝑻𝑰𝑶𝑵
Improving knee stabilization will help prevent unnecessary rotation of your child's knee, which can cause pain.
𝑳𝑶𝑾-𝑰𝑴𝑷𝑨𝑪𝑻
High-impact activities such as running and jumping might cause an increase in your child’s knee pain and should be avoided until pain subsides. Try swimming or biking instead. .
𝑪𝑶𝑵𝑺𝑰𝑫𝑬𝑹𝑨𝑻𝑰𝑶𝑵𝑺
Ice and elevate your child’s leg -- especially after physical activities -- to help reduce the pain and swelling around his knee. Knee wraps may also help reduce pain and support your child’s knee during activities. .

This patient came with a 10 month lumbosciatica pain and numbness in the right limb. The MRI showed us an herniated disc at L5/S1 compressing the nerve. The multi-segmental flexion test was 32 cm before the session as we can see in the first picture .

An hour later, at the end of the session, the patient was able to touch the ground without any pain and numbness (swipe left).

A 23 year old basketball player came suffering from a low back pain for a year and a half now. He wakes up every morning with a sharp pain in his lower back . After NEURAC testing, i found out that his erector spinae is compensating for his local muscles , and he's using his global lower back muscles in every movement as stabilizers. We activated the local and released the global , no more LBP felt from the first session. I gave him some exercices to do in order to keep his back safe and painless.
