Our Diverse Team

At Sports Club Vallentuna, we pride ourselves on our diverse team of professionals. Currently, two naprapathy and two physiotherapists oversee clinical operations. Complementing our core team are personal trainers, group instructors, and administrative personnel, all dedicated to providing holistic care and support to our clients.

The David Devices: Specialized Tools for Targeted Rehabilitation

Our centre integrates advanced rehabilitation tools known as David devices. Medically trained professionals—our physiotherapists and naprapaths — exclusively operate these devices. While our personal trainers focus on other gym facilities, physiotherapists can use the entire facility, including the David devices.

Client Journey: From Rehabilitation to Regular Fitness

Clients at our center experience a tailored approach to their rehabilitation. Depending on their specific needs and conditions, some may only engage with David devices, while others mix different treatment methods and equipment. We see a variety of clients, but predominantly spine patients, as we have had the spine concept the longest. Recently, we have expanded our offerings to include hip, knee, and shoulder devices, attracting a broader range of diagnoses.

Interestingly, younger clients typically seek David rehab for specific conditions or injuries, whereas older clients use it to manage daily activities and maintain overall health. Initially, David devices were in a separate room, with clients signing specific David rehab contracts for three months. However, we observed that clients often felt great post-rehabilitation, only to return months later with recurring issues.

To address this, we moved the David devices into our main gym area and included their usage in our regular gym membership fee. This integration has encouraged continuous use and better long-term health maintenance.

Referral and Payment Dynamics

In Sweden, the public healthcare system often refers patients to municipal physiotherapy practices. However, as a private practice, we do not collaborate with insurance companies or municipal centers. Our clients find us independently and pay out-of-pocket. Word-of-mouth referrals from satisfied clients have been our most effective marketing tool.

Client Feedback on David Devices

Clients initially face a learning curve with the David devices due to their precise range of motion, pace, and manual settings. However, once acclimated, they quickly recognize the significant improvements in muscle activity and training efficiency. Some clients initially perceive the devices‘ specificity to certain movements or joints as a limitation. We counter this by emphasizing that this specificity is what makes the David devices exceptional. They are designed to excel in targeted areas, providing focused and effective treatment.

A Customized Approach to David Rehab

We do not adhere to a rigid format for David rehab, recognizing that each client is unique. Typically, we begin with an anamnesis, conduct a clinical evaluation, and introduce a few machines. A close follow-up session allows us to introduce additional devices and assess the client’s progress. The duration of guidance varies; some clients become self-sufficient after two or three sessions, while others may require up to eight or more sessions.

Conclusion

At Sports Club Vallentuna, our commitment to excellence in rehabilitation is unwavering. By combining the specialized capabilities of the David devices with our comprehensive gym facilities, we offer our clients the best possible care for their specific conditions. Whether for managing daily activities or addressing specific injuries, our personalized approach ensures each client achieves optimal health and well-being.
