Who we are
Icecube Active is a company that provides a complete, up-to-date active rehabilitation programme for the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. We are a team healthcare professionals who utilise the latest research to bring you simply the best active rehab protocols available today. If you don’t like what we suggest, change it! After all, YOU decide what’s best for your patient!
What we do
We make your practice
LOOK GREAT. We SAVE YOU TIME.
We NEVER COMPROMISE the care your patients deserve.
We are busy people, and we know that you are too. We keep current with active rehabilitation research, and regularly update our suggested exercise protocols so you don’t have to. This way, we continually bring you the BEST and SAFEST treatments for your patients conditions. All our exercises are in REAL TIME COMPUTER ANIMATION video format (and NOT the old-fashioned “before and after” line drawings) for the patients to simply follow along to, avoiding the need for lengthy explanations, hard to follow written instructions (just try to put a Level 3 Bridge into less than 10 words!), and time-consuming demonstrations.
How it works
You need an
internet-connected computer in your clinic.
You log onto our website and have it running in the background while
you work. At any time you can
refer to the site to demonstrate exercises, or to reference the appropriate
exercises for certain conditions.
We also have a bank of
exercises that you can choose from if you want to modify any of our
protocols if needed, and our system will remember your favourites, so it
will GROW WITH YOUR PRACTICE.
You can slow down,
speed up, assign “hold times”, and sets and reps if needed to totally
customise your patient rehab video.
Once set up, you can order the patient a DVD of their exercises that will arrive at the patient’s house within a week. The patient will receive their DVD and a glossy printed reference sheet of their exercises.

Can more than one practitioner use
the programme at the same time?
No, only one computer
can be logged in per user ID, and DVDs get sent to the patient branded with
YOUR NAME. Additional
practitioners at the same address may sign up for $5 each per month.
What if I don’t
agree with the prescribed exercises?
Change them!
You may modify EVERYTHING.
Change the order of exercises, change the speed, hold time,
repetitions, and sets. Even
substitute exercises from the exercise bank.
You will always be given the option to “Save as your new protocol” so
that the next time you choose that condition, YOUR protocol comes up.
What happens when
new research emerges?
We will update the
rehabilitation protocols when necessary.
New research in itself may not be enough to warrant changes.
There has to be enough academic agreement on the matter before we
make changes
Who can use this
programme?
ONLY qualified health
care practitioners who can diagnose and legally treat a musculoskeletal
complaint may use this programme. This list includes, but is not limited to:
·
Acupuncturists
·
Chiropractors
·
Medical
professionals
·
Osteopaths
·
PT's
·
Sports
Therapists
The programme itself is
not intended to be accessed by the general public.
Only the DVDs that you prescribe should be used by the public.
If I sell a patient
a DVD, won’t I lose money from extra visits?
Absolutely not!
See the “benefits” section to see how this will boost your practice!
What if the
condition that I need isn’t listed?
Make your own protocol
using the exercise library, and save it in “my protocols”
How many exercises
can I put on a DVD?
That depends on how
many sets and reps and speed of your exercises.
Generally speaking, you should be able to put all the required
exercises to rehabilitate a body region, from simple reactivation, up to
complex stabilization exercises, to be used as the patient progresses in
ability. Alternatively, you may
choose simply to sell a new DVD for each stage of the patient’s
rehabilitation process.
What if the patient
has more than one complaint?
They ALL have more than
one complaint if you let them talk long enough!
But seriously, if 2 or more body regions need to be rehabilitated,
just add them to the list of exercises, and we'll put them on the same disc
at no extra charge to you.
Can I just order
generic DVDs with no patient name?
No, the DVDs are
tailored to each individual patient.
People do not present with “generic” problems, nor would they all
respond well to “generic” DVDs.
Chances are your patients chose your practice based upon your excellent
reputation. Give them what
they’re after.
Can I use the
programme without ordering DVDs?
Of course!
You can simply use the programme to demonstrate e
xercises to your patients in your clinic.
You can also use it as a constant reference tool.
However, you may be missing out on the most powerful practice
building features of the programme!
Benefits
When you sign up, you will be given suggestions on how to implement this into your practice, as well as promotional posters for your clinic.
Using this programme
will:
·
Enhance your
practice image- you will be providing the most advanced level of in-home
rehabilitation currently available.
Because you can display your practice logo on the DVDs, it will look
like YOUR clinic created it.
Patients talk, and when they show others the DVD, your clinic will benefit
greatly.
·
Make you
money from DVD sales.
·
Increase
Patient retention
·
Increase
Patient compliance- by making exercises easy to understand and follow along
with, patients are much more likely to do them.
This prevents faulty interpretation of written instructions that may
lead to incorrect technique, non-compliance, or injury.
·
You will get
better results, and this will lead to increased referrals. Simple.
Suggestions for use/ implementation
We suggest that you
provide DVDs to all your patients that you would prescribe exercises to.
You can then ensure that they will be doing them correctly and safely
EVERY TIME.
You can suggest to the
patient that for the around the cost of a single treatment, they can own
something that they will be able to refer to for the rest of their life.
Should their problem flare up in the future, they will always be
reminded of where they got excellent results in the first place by your
branding and contact information on the DVD.
Should you choose to
layer progressively more advanced exercises onto the DVD, you should inform
the patient to only follow the ones that you allow, and not to progress to
the next stage unless you permit them.
You could suggest the first group of exercises, and have the patient
return at a later date to demonstrate proficiency in them and have any
concerns or lingering pains treated.
You can then repeat this through each progressively harder stage so
that the patient gets treatment and supervision throughout.
Alternatively, the more
business minded of you will provide a new DVD through each stage of a
patient’s rehabilitation, thereby increasing practice revenues considerably.
Do's and Don'ts!
We don't understand
lawyer talk, and you probably don't either, so we'll make this easy for you.
Don't
order DVDs to your own or other registered practice address, or to the same
address multiple times.
Don't
order DVDs to "Mr. YOUR CLINIC NAME"
Don't
get every colleague you know to sign up
under one account- As we send the dvds out, each is branded with the PRIMARY
ACCOUNT HOLDER'S CLINIC ADDRESS.
Don't
order a single DVD and make a million copies
to dispense to every low back pain case that comes through your door.
That's piracy, it's illegal, and we WILL recoup our loss quite
publicly.
Don't
post our stuff on YouTube.
We'll find it and remove it.
Now for the Do's:
Do
refer your colleagues! If another clinic
signs up and pre-pays for an annual subscription, we will credit 2 DVDs to
your account.
Do
keep the program running in your clinic.
You'll continuously refer to it.
Do
use the printable form so your office staff
can order the DVDs at the end of the day.
You have other important things to attend to (on the first tee).
Do
use the PRE-PAY options.
You'll use the DVDs anyway, so why not get them for as cheap as
possible?
Do
tell us if we missed anything!! We are
continually expanding our bank of exercises, and any help is greatly
appreciated!
