MedX medical equipment was developed by Nautilus Sports Medicine creator Arthur Jones, after realizing that many of the world's strongest men had chronic debilitating back pain. Jones concluded that if he could isolate the muscles of the low back he could more effectively activate and strengthen those muscles as a means to reduce pain. After years of research and testing MedX was born.

Our doctors have been trained and certified on both the Lumbar and Cervical extension equipment and have witnessed the benefits of this scientifically proven method of treatment first hand.
