“In the most challenging cases where traditional methods such as extensive physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, continuous passive motion (CPM) machine hire, and even manipulation under anaesthetic fell short, the STAK has proven to be the solution.”
— Mr. Muhammad Tawfiq Korim, Consultant Knee Surgeon, UHL NHS Trust
Barrington’s case was one that many had written off. Following extensive physiotherapy, CPM hire, manual therapy and hydrotherapy he had 25° of flexion After a failed manipulation under anaesthetic (MUA), his knee was left with only 45° of flexion, a range so limited it made basic daily activities, like walking or sitting comfortably, nearly impossible. Despite undergoing a significant procedure that was supposed to offer relief, Barrington was left in pain with little hope for improvement. His doctors, too, were at a crossroads and considered this the end of his treatment options.
That’s when the STAK tool entered the picture, a device designed to break through the limitations of traditional rehabilitation. For Barrington, it was the last resort. What happened next was nothing short of remarkable.
The STAK tool uses a unique, non-invasive technique to enable the patient to perform high intensity stretching daily at home to successfully break down their scar tissue. In just 8 weeks, Barrington’s knee flexion improved by 50°, bringing his range up to 94°, a significant leap compared to the 44° he had post-MUA. This improvement was not only a win for Barrington’s health, but also for his lifestyle. He was able to return to work and the gym, resuming activities he had once feared might be lost forever.
The STAK tool had unlocked a new chapter for Barrington—a chapter filled with movement, freedom, and progress.This long-term success reinforced the efficacy of the STAK tool, which helped Barrington defy the odds and overcome what had been considered an impossible recovery.
“After a failed manipulation under anaesthetic, I thought my knee problems were a lost cause. The STAK tool truly changed the game for me. After eight weeks, I was able to gain 50° of flexion, which allowed me to return to work and even start hitting the gym again. A year later, my knee flexion is better than ever, and I’ve maintained 97°. I can’t thank the STAK tool enough for giving me my life back.”
Barrington’s case is a testament to how the right treatment can completely transform a person’s life, even in the most challenging circumstances. The STAK tool isn’t just about regaining flexibility, it’s about regaining independence and reclaiming quality of life.
For anyone struggling with knee stiffness or limited movement, Barrington’s story offers hope and inspiration. The STAK tool’s non-invasive approach is a proven method to improve knee function and restore freedom of movement.
STAK is revolutionising knee rehab by offering a simple, structured approach that speeds up recovery. With its customisable features and real-time tracking, STAK empowers patients to take charge of their rehabilitation while ensuring measurable results. It’s the future of knee rehab, combining patient independence with expert physiotherapist guidance. STAK is a tool that supports—not replaces—the physiotherapist’s role. The physiotherapist remains in charge of screening, tailoring the programme, and guiding progression, while STAK extends their impact into the hours they’re not there, helping patients continue effective rehab between sessions.
