Our head, Olena Aloshko, spoke at the medical forum RE: GENERATION “from acute condition to recovery”, which took place this past weekend in the city of Ladyzhyn. She presented the Neurac method and explained the key advantages of the Redcord equipment compared to other suspension systems. She also presented several clinical cases and described the specifics of the method’s effects on the body and the outcomes achieved. In the second part of the day, she conducted a hands-on workshop on using Redcord equipment and the Neurac method in the treatment of nonspecific back pain.
In modern medicine, rehabilitation after injuries and treatment of chronic pain is reaching a new level thanks to the understanding of neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to reorganize its neural connections in response to training. One of the most effective global standards in this field is the Neurac method, implemented using Norwegian Redcord equipment. In Ukraine, the development of this approach and the training of specialists is led by Olena Aloshko — a certified instructor of the method with many years of experience.
What are Redcord and Neurac?
Redcord is a unique suspension system developed in Norway that uses the patient’s own body weight to perform exercises in a closed kinetic chain. The main advantage of this equipment is the ability to unload the body, reduce pain, and create conditions for activating deep stabilizing muscles.
Neurac (Neuromuscular Activation) is an evidence-based neuromuscular activation method. Its goal is to restore correct movement patterns through stimulation of the nervous system.
Key features of the method:
- Identification of the “weak link”: Testing helps identify muscles that do not activate properly during movement.
- Pain-free approach: Exercises are performed exclusively within a pain-free range, as pain inhibits proper muscle activation.
- Immediate results: Clients often experience relief and improved mobility already after the first session.
More about the equipment and global standards of the method, as well as certified specialists, can be found on the official website redcord.com.
Science behind it: Neuroplasticity and control
The Neurac method is based on the brain’s ability to “reprogram” active movement. Through neuromuscular regulation — unconscious joint stabilization during movement — the body learns to function efficiently and without compensations.
Olena Aloshko emphasizes the importance of the eccentric phase of movement and slow exercise execution. This allows more motor units to be engaged and improves body control, which is critically important both for post-surgical rehabilitation and for preparing military personnel for prosthetic walking.
Olena Aloshko: An expert shaping the future of rehabilitation
Olena Aloshko is a physical therapist with over 16 years of experience. She is one of only two officially certified Neurac instructors in Ukraine and has held the status of Certified Neurac Practitioner (CNP) since 2019.
Achievements and activities of Olena:
- Founder of the Functional Recovery Center “PhysioSpace” in Irpin, where clients receive care according to international standards.
- Specialist training: Together with Danylo Safronov, she has trained over 500 certified Neurac specialists across Ukraine.
- Method implementation: Thanks to their work, the Neurac method has been integrated into more than 250 medical and wellness institutions nationwide.
Olena actively shares her experience at scientific forums such as “Ladyzhyn 2026,” demonstrating complex clinical cases: from rapid shoulder joint recovery in 4 sessions to complex rehabilitation in amputee patients.
Principles that ensure success (“Take into practice today”)
In her practice, Olena Aloshko highlights principles that make Neurac therapy highly effective:
- First retraining, then training: You cannot train a movement that the brain performs incorrectly.
- Use of hands as stimuli: Tactile feedback helps the client better perceive the working area.
- Adaptation to daily life: Exercises should be functional — helping a person stand up, sit down, or walk more easily.
- Rest: The brain needs time between sets to integrate new motor patterns.
Conclusion
The Neurac method and Redcord system are not just exercises, but intelligent rehabilitation that works with the root cause of pain through the nervous system. Thanks to experts like Olena Aloshko, Ukrainians have access to advanced recovery methods that enable an active life without limitations.
