The Rebuild | Shift Spinal Health
Our Flagship Program

The Rebuild.

Full Recovery Program · From 12 Weeks

A complete disc recovery program — intensive MT Core Smart Decompression combined with guided in-clinic rehabilitation, the Shift Rehab app, and direct clinical oversight. 12 weeks is the structure. Correction is the aim. We track objective markers and review your progress as we go — then we protect what you've built.

The program

Relief is the beginning. Correction is the goal.

The Rebuild is a structured spinal correction program — regular MT Core decompression combined with supervised functional rehabilitation in our fully equipped in-clinic gym.

Your spine is an asset. The Rebuild treats it like one. We work on the structural factors that help recovery last — disc rehydration, nerve decompression, posterior chain strength, and movement confidence — tracked against objective clinical markers throughout your care.

The program is built around an initial 12-week block — the minimum meaningful dose we use for structural change. We track five objective Shift Score markers throughout, reviewed every 4 weeks. When those markers indicate the correction is holding, we move to protection. For some patients that's at 12 weeks. For others it takes longer. The structure is the 12-week block; the pace is guided by your own progress.

What's included

  • MT Core Smart Decompression across your correction phase
  • Initial consultation & full clinical assessment
  • Guided in-clinic rehabilitation gym sessions
  • Shift Rehab app — Gym Flow, Home Mobility, progress tracking
  • Initial gym coaching session with your clinician
  • Shift Score progress reviews — objective functional markers
  • Clinical progress report at each review
  • Interest-free finance via Humm available

How it works

12 weeks is the structure. Your progress sets the pace.

The Rebuild is built around an initial 12-week block — the minimum meaningful dose of decompression and rehabilitation we use for structural change. Decompression works cumulatively; the frequency is deliberate. At every 4-week milestone, we review all five Shift Score markers against your baseline. When those markers indicate the correction is holding, we move to protection. For most patients that happens within the first 12-week block. For some it takes longer — and your clinician guides that based on your reviews, not a date on the calendar.

1
Initial Consultation & Shift Score Baseline
Your clinician conducts a full assessment — red flag screen, pain and disability scoring, range of motion, neurological screen, and your Shift Score functional baseline. MT Core parameters are set and your correction program is confirmed. All initial consultations are conducted by your clinician.
2
Gym Coaching Session
Before your rehabilitation begins, your clinician walks you through your personalised gym program — demonstrating each exercise, explaining the purpose, and setting your starting loads and targets. After this, the Shift Rehab app guides you through every gym session and home mobility session — video-guided exercises, pain tracking, and session notes.
3
Correction Phase · Decompression + Rehabilitation
Regular visits across your correction phase. Each visit combines MT Core decompression with guided gym-based rehabilitation. Your MT Core parameters are progressed as your spine responds. Your gym program evolves as your capacity builds. The Shift Rehab app guides both your Gym Flow exercises at the clinic and your Home Mobility program between visits — with pain level tracking and session notes throughout.
4
4-Week Progress Reviews · Track the Markers
Your clinician conducts a formal progress review at every 4-week milestone — re-testing all five Shift Score markers, comparing against your baseline, and adjusting your program accordingly. When the markers indicate the correction is holding, we plan your move to protection. A written progress report is provided at each review.
5
Protection Phase · Protect What You've Built
Once the markers indicate the correction is holding, we shift into protection. A corrected spine is an asset — protection helps keep it that way. Your clinician designs a protection schedule suited to your life, activity level, and clinical picture. The goal is always lasting correction, not ongoing dependency on treatment.

Rehabilitation

In-clinic gym + Shift Rehab app.

Decompression works on the disc. Rehabilitation builds the support structure around it — so the correction is more likely to last and the asset holds its value. The Rebuild gives you both, in one structured program.

🏋️
In-Clinic Functional Gym
Every Rebuild session includes guided rehabilitation in our fully equipped in-clinic gym. Supervised by your treating clinician — targeted exercises that build posterior chain strength, movement confidence, and spinal stability specific to your presentation.
📲
Shift Rehab App
Shift Spinal Health's proprietary rehabilitation app guides you through every step of the program — Gym Flow for in-clinic exercises, Home Mobility for between-visit rehab, pain level tracking, session notes, and a full program view. Designed specifically for Rebuild patients.
📊
The Shift Score Framework
Five objective functional markers — back extension hold, loaded hip hinge quality, movement confidence (anchored to a validated fear-of-movement scale), neurodynamic clearance, and side bridge hold — tracked at baseline and reviewed every 4 weeks. Our in-house framework for measuring your progress, not guessing at it.

The technology

MT Core Smart Decompression.

The MT Core is a computer-controlled spinal decompression system — the first unit of its kind in South Australia. Precise, programmable traction targets intradiscal decompression, supports disc rehydration, reduces nerve root compression, and helps create the biological conditions for disc tissue recovery.

In the Rebuild, MT Core parameters (force, cycle time, angle) are individualised at your initial assessment and progressed across your full correction phase — supporting an appropriate therapeutic stimulus at every stage of recovery.

How it works

  • Negative intradiscal pressure helps draw fluid, oxygen, and nutrients back into the disc
  • Applies sustained decompressive force to the affected segment
  • Aims to relieve nerve root compression and associated referred pain
  • Computer-controlled feedback adjusts force in real time — supporting comfort and protecting tissue
  • Works cumulatively across the correction phase, targeting structural change rather than only symptom relief
  • Parameters documented and progressed at every 4-week review

Our commitment

Honest care, that goes the distance.

We can't promise a specific clinical result — anyone who does isn't being straight with you. What we commit to is honest care, objective progress tracking, and a recommendation based on your results rather than a visit count.

Confidence guarantee
Right fit or full refund

If after your first three sessions you don't feel confident that decompression is the right approach for you, let us know and we'll refund your program investment in full. No awkward conversations, no hoops.

Clinical promise
Honest care. Always.

An evidence-based treatment plan, objective Shift Score progress tracking, and an honest review at every milestone — with a recommendation based on your results, never a push to continue without clinical justification.

Our standard
Care guided by your progress

Your program length is guided by your clinical reviews, not a fixed quota. We'll discuss continued care with you openly at each milestone, and only recommend it where it's genuinely in your clinical interest.
