Your Practice, Your Path, Your Elexeo

Patients are expecting more and more from their physiotherapist. You need to be efficient, flexible, and innovative, but preferably without losing your personal approach. That's quite a few balls to keep in the air at the same time. Fortunately, technological progress is significant, and there are more and more developments that can help you meet these expectations. The new modular platform for physical therapy, Elexeo, is one of them. What exactly is Elexeo? Ivo Remans and Jochen Jaspers from Gymna are happy to explain it below.

What is Elexeo and why was it developed?

Most practices have one or more physical therapy devices in place. Fortunately, the large, bulky devices of the past have long been replaced by more compact models, but they are not always flexible. Jochen, Innovation Manager at Gymna, explains: "When you first graduate and want to start your own practice, large investments are often not an option. So, you choose the cheapest option. But as your practice grows, so does your need for physical therapy equipment. If you want to expand, you either need to buy an additional device or buy a combination device, which makes your original purchase redundant."

Ivo, Product Manager at Gymna, adds: "That's why our goal was to develop a platform that is future-proof and can quickly adapt to changing needs. That's how we came up with a modular platform."

"When you first graduate and want to start your own practice, large investments are often not an option. So, you choose the cheapest option. But as your practice grows, so does your need for physical therapy equipment."

A Modular System: Ideal for Any Practice

The modular setup makes Elexeo an ideal system for any practice and any physiotherapist, even for beginners. Jochen: "The modular system lowers the threshold. You can start small and simple with just the basics, like the control unit with electrotherapy or ultrasound. But as your needs grow because your practice is expanding or new specialisations are being added, you can always expand with extra modules. The plug-and-play principle makes it very easy as all the software is already on the control unit. Additionally, Elexeo can be used both connected and standalone. All of this makes the system flexible and future-proof and ensures you can make your choice with much more ease."

The extra modules Jochen mentions are electrotherapy, ultrasound, and vacuum. There is also a battery module, so you can take your compact Elexeo with you anywhere. For example, on home visits, or if you need to quickly move to another treatment room in a large practice. Ivo: "And according to test users, it's a huge advantage that the therapist can save their own treatment programmes in a personal folder, making Elexeo ideal for a large practice with multiple users."

So, it’s a sustainable system. Not only because the configuration can be changed at any time, but also because everything on Elexeo is detachable and it comes in sustainable packaging. A nice bonus: With Elexeo, you can maximise your therapeutic effects, as the independent channels can be used simultaneously.

Did you know that the ultrasound treatment head can also be used underwater? It's particularly useful if your patient's skin is already sensitive to even light touch, or if the area is hard to reach, like between the fingers.

 

The Elexeo Compass: Indication-Based, Personalised, and Efficient

Clearly, such a flexible modular system is a good solution. And as a beginner, you only really need to make one choice: do you choose the control unit with electrotherapy or ultrasound? If you're unsure what you need, fortunately, there's the Elexeo Compass. The Elexeo Compass guides and informs you in choosing the ideal Elexeo setup for your practice.

Ivo: "Every practice has fixed patient groups with specific conditions, for example, patients with musculoskeletal pain or lung patients with hypertensive muscle groups. It's of course helpful to have the appropriate modality available for these. The compass links conditions to goals and recommends specific therapy methods. This helps the compass guide you in making the right investment."

In the compass, you choose a treatment goal, such as pain management or muscle stimulation, and which conditions you want to treat, for example, neurological conditions or pelvic issues. The compass is divided into eight blocks. Based on your choices, the compass advises the ideal Elexeo setup: the most suitable control unit for your practice situation and the recommended extra modules and accessories. So, it’s extremely user-friendly.

"Technology should bridge the gap between the physiotherapist and this self-care, providing controlled self-care under professional supervision that actually delivers results."

The Future of Physiotherapy and the Role of Technology

Physiotherapy is a very dynamic profession that continues to evolve rapidly. Technology plays a huge role in modern life, and therefore Jochen believes physiotherapy and technology should go hand in hand: "After the pandemic, self-care has changed, and the world is not yet prepared for this. Patients apply self-care on their own, but often without success because they simply don’t know how to use it. Technology should bridge the gap between the physiotherapist and this self-care, providing controlled self-care under professional supervision that actually delivers results. If it were possible to apply electrotherapy every night at home, recovery would be much faster than if it’s done once or twice a week at the physiotherapist’s clinic."

Ivo adds: "In your treatment with Elexeo, you naturally use specific parameters. Now imagine you could give your patient a small device with the same parameter settings to continue practising at home? I can see that being part of the future of physiotherapy."

Both Jochen and Ivo see Elexeo as a solid, future-proof product. For you as a therapist, because you can always expand with an extra module, but also for Gymna itself, as future new modules can be integrated just as easily. The platform is already prepared for this. Furthermore, the device already comes with an NFC chip, so if a future feature requires secure, fast, and contactless data exchange, Elexeo is ready for it.

 

What Would You Like to Tell Therapists Considering Starting with Elexeo?

Ivo: "The big advantage is that you can start based on your current needs and expertise but still have the option to expand that functionality later. This allows you to offer combination therapy or simultaneous therapy and combine different regions. That saves time. Just like the intuitive user interface saves you a lot of time."

Jochen agrees with Ivo: "With Elexeo, you’re good to go with any starting configuration, whatever you choose. You can expand with other modules or adjust or change your setup at any time. Elexeo removes all doubts and concerns."
