According to the Urban Dictionary, the verb ‘podulate’ means: “discouraging independent thinking.” However, thanks to AposTherapy there is now a more agreeable use of the term ‘podulation’. According to studies coming out of Israel (and another published on this website) the new form of gravitational physiotherapy involves the strategic placement of ‘pods’ on the bottom of the feet. A course of the new simple therapy can quickly help to reverse the osteoarthritis of the knee joint, and treatment is now being made available to patients in the UK. The new AposTherapy clinic has just opened at the BUPA clinics in Reading and London's West End for patients who wish to investigate the potential avoidance and need for knee surgery.
The clinic state: “An estimated 8.5 million people in the UK are affected by osteoarthritis (OA), the most common form of knee pain. Difficult to manage, and with no cure currently available, many people opt for pain-relieving medicines or, in some cases, surgery to alleviate their pain. Now, however, there’s a treatment that’s both non-surgical and drug-free. Developed by orthopaedic doctors, and founded on established scientific principles, AposTherapy is a personalised programme of care that’s clinically proven to improve mobility and alleviate pain. Based on the premise that the development and progression of OA can depend on the way you walk, AposTherapy works by analysing and correcting the way you move.”
From Hands to Feet
We believe that following the addition of the medical term ‘crutch hand’ in an earlier article, that now the broader use of the word ‘podulation’ brings the second new medical term as defined by totalhealth!
