The STAK is a new clinically proven medical stretching device for home use which enables patients to perform effective daily stretching to regain their range of movement and function following knee replacement, major knee surgery or injury. It is light and easy to use, the STAK is supplied with an accompanying chair which works in harmony with the STAK tool to enable optimal, comfortable high intensity stretching. The STAK is both self-motivating and empowering giving patients the best possible outcomes.
The STAK enables you the patient to generate high-intensity stretches which will break down the scar tissue in your knee which is causing stiffness and pain.
Once the STAK has enabled you to break down the scar tissue new tissue will form and you will regain your range of movement. You will see improvements in the first few days and we recommend that the treatment continues over 8 weeks.
STAK Specialist Physio Sessions
In your first session, we will discuss your goals and what activities you would like to return to. Your knee will be assessed, and your range of movement measured accurately using an App (you will be sent a copy of this if you wish). You will be taught how to complete the STAK programme and all elements will be completed by yourself. You will be shown how you can measure your progress. We will discuss several important elements of the programme and how to tailor it to your individual need. You will feel improvements in your knee after the first session.
In your follow-up sessions, your progress will be monitored, range of motion recorded and any issues which may arise worked through.
