Light touch. Big changes.

I first learned about Reflexlux through an acquaintance who took me along to one of his training sessions. Due to a rheumatic condition, I suffered from a painful restriction of movement in my left shoulder. Even during this first contact, I recognized the method's potential to improve my restricted movement through movements prompted by the light signals. In addition, the training also had an effect on other areas of my body, particularly the spine, where my underlying rheumatic condition – axial spondyloarthritis, formerly also known as ankylosing spondylitis – manifests itself. As my mobility in the lower extremities is restricted following bilateral hip replacement surgery, the exercises on the Reflexlux wall also felt beneficial in this area. Looking back, I regret not having started Reflexlux training before my hip operations. By continuously increasing my range of motion at the Reflexlux wall, my shoulder gradually became more mobile and less painful in everyday life, until I eventually became pain-free. Further aspects of the training include coordination, posture and improved visuomotor skills. This has improved my standing and walking stability as well as the size of my visual field. After about a year of Reflexlux applications and supplementary exercises at home, my physical well-being has improved noticeably. For example, I can once again swim breaststroke and freestyle without pain. The shoulder discomfort I experienced at night when turning my body has also disappeared. The greater range of motion and absence of pain in my left shoulder, which is affected by osteoarthritis, have also helped me develop my golf game further. I will continue to use the opportunity to train with Reflexlux – also to maintain my general performance as I grow older.

From birth, I have been severely restricted by left-sided spasticity affecting my hand and foot. As I grew older, my posture and mobility deteriorated. Changes affecting my spine and gait developed, together with increasingly severe pain. Despite numerous treatments and rehabilitation measures over many years, there was hardly any improvement in my worsening symptoms. As a result, I developed considerable skepticism toward further treatment options and increasingly resigned myself to my limitations. This skepticism remained until I was told about a movement system called Reflexlux. The approach differed significantly from the rehabilitation measures I was familiar with. [...] I decided to try once more in the hope of possibly relieving my by then almost unbearable pain. In addition, I had developed an allergy to the pain medication I had previously been given. After in-depth discussions, Mr Haase from FINTEC AG developed an exercise program at the Reflexlux wall that was individually adapted to my condition and that I was able to complete well despite my limitations. Alongside the movement training, he recommended a side-sleeper pillow to support my back based on my sleeping habits. The combination of advice, movement training and appropriate support while lying at night helped me immediately: my nights became more restful and my back pain less severe. At the start of the Reflexlux training, I had very limited mobility and a markedly stooped posture due to my high spastic muscle tone. I could not straighten my legs, my back was tense, and safe, upright walking was possible only to a very limited extent. I was constantly looking for something nearby to hold on to. Sitting down and standing up independently was also hardly possible without assistance. Just a few weeks after starting my new movement training, I no longer needed pain medication. My posture and gait have improved considerably. I can now almost straighten my legs and therefore walk more upright. I have become more flexible, dynamic and stronger, and I generally feel safer in my body. Today I can sit down on a chair or bench and stand up again without assistance. All of this has given me a new enjoyment of life that I had never known before. I continue to enjoy my regularly adapted movement training at the Reflexlux wall twice a week. I would recommend everyone to try it. For me, it is a real benefit.

Training with Reflexlux is a playful way to work on balance, coordination and mobility alongside classic physiotherapy. The interactive character keeps motivation high, targeted movements can be improved and progress can be made visible through documentation.

Reflexlux complements our physiotherapy services with motivating, visually guided movement tasks. Particularly in orthopedic and neurological rehabilitation, coordination, movement planning and active mobility can be trained in a varied and engaging way.

Reflexlux gives us a wide range of opportunities to connect perception, attention and movement. The tasks can be adapted to different abilities and support functional training of coordination, orientation and independence.

Reflexlux complements our personalized training concept with targeted yet playful movement tasks. Mobility, coordination, reaction, strength and endurance can be combined in a varied interactive training environment.

Reflexlux is a modern interactive sensor-light training tool that uses light impulses switched off by touch to define spatial movement tasks. Preset programs can support mobility, eye-hand coordination, fall prevention, strength, endurance, reaction, flexibility and training for prevention, rehabilitation or return to sport.
