A pain-free approach
The Neurac Method combines two main paths:
Therapy & Exercise
The Neurac Method is applied through two main professional approaches: Neurac Therapy and Neurac Exercise. While each serves a different role, they are based on the same scientific principles and equipment, and together form a complete method that supports people across all stages — from pain and dysfunction to health and peak performance.
Neurac Therapy
Neurac Therapy provides a comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic framework designed to target neuromusculoskeletal disorders and associated pain.
By using carefully designed sling-based exercises, the therapist activates and retrains the neuromuscular system, aiming to restore optimal motor control, improve functional movement patterns, and reduce pain.
It focuses on identifying and addressing dysfunctions in movement and muscle activation that contribute to pain or injury.
This method is primarily applied in one-to-one clinical settings, typically by healthcare professionals such as physiotherapists.
Neurac Therapy is widely used in rehabilitation, both for acute injuries and long-term conditions, and forms the clinical foundation of the method.
Documented Benefits of Neurac Therapy
-
Neurac Therapy is level 1 evidence based [1] for the effect on low back pain [2-6] and stroke rehabilitation [7]
-
Neurac Therapy is ranked among the top therapies for pain relief for low back pain [2-4].
-
Neurac Therapy is significantly more effective than all comparisons for muscle strength, activation, and onset [5].
-
Neurac Therapy is superior to passive treatment and other exercises both short- and long-term [6].
-
Neurac Therapy is more effective on walking ability post-stroke than conventional physical therapy,and trunk training [7].

Neurac Exercise
Neurac Exercise builds on the same core principles of neuromuscular activation, but is aimed at promoting health, performance, and injury prevention through advanced sling-based training.
While Neurac Therapy is treatment-oriented, Neurac Exercise focuses on maintaining and enhancing physical capacity — helping individuals stay healthy, build fitness, and boost performance.
Neurac Exercise provides a structured training system suitable for:
-
Prevention of injury
-
Maintenance of function and mobility
-
Performance enhancement for athletes and active individuals
It is designed for use by personal trainers, fitness instructors, and therapists who wish to integrate high-quality training into their practice. It can be applied in both individual and group settings — in gyms, studios, or clinics.
Documented Benefits of Neurac Exercise
-
Evidence-based at level 1 (systematic review) for healthy subjects and athletes [1].
-
Sling exercise activates the core muscle groups more than traditional exercises (systematic review, 2020) [2].
-
Closed-chain core exercise activates more groups of muscles in a kinetic chain than open-chain exercises (systematic review, 2024) [3].
-
Core exercise has:
- Very large effect on throwing/hitting distance.
-
Large effects on balance and horizontal jump.
-
Moderate effect on vertical jumping.
Compared to normal athletic activity (Systematic review, 2023) [4].
-
Core exercise has a large effect on:
- Lower limb muscle power
-
Linear sprint speed
-
Change-of-direction speed/agility
-
Sport-specific performance

How Therapy and Exercise Work Together
Both Neurac Therapy and Neurac Exercise are grounded in the same scientific principles and use the same high-quality equipment, ensuring a consistent and effective approach across the entire continuum of care.
Together they complete the method by supporting a continuum of care: from rehabilitation to long-term health and peak performance.
