Sports medicine

Pain and discomfort in the body dictate new rules for the muscles functioning of that are been adapting to new conditions. In some places they shorten, in others, they stretch to compensate for the distortions and incorrect positions of the vertebrae joints. The main task of muscular-fascial correction is to change the “rules” of the muscular system functioning.

The changes in the muscle activity rules can occur due to the effect on the soft tissues that regulate the muscles work in the places of their attachment.

Muscle-fascial correction is needed for persons with:

• chronic pain syndromes in the joints, spine and the like;
• prolonged immobilization, as well as after surgical treatment of joints, spine;
• deformations of the musculoskeletal system (including certain congenital pathologies, for example, torticollis in children).

Kinesiotherapy

Kinesiotherapy is aimed at changing moving skills with the help of tapes – special applications in problem areas. Fixing with tapes performs once every 1-2 weeks, depending on how the body has accumulated a “new” habit in order to consolidate the new reflex.

A feature of all rehabilitation methods is the absence of contraindications (the exceptions may be determined only by objective examination).

Often, the complex of treatment includes periarticular medication. The duration of the treatment course has to be prescribed by the doctor.

Doctor consultation and treatment plan

A feature of physical rehabilitation medicine is that it does not affect the symptoms of the disease but on the cause. Therefore, during the consultation, the doctor should not only identify pathologies and weak muscles but also define the causes of the problems and develop a course of treatment to eliminate them.

During the consultation, the doctor:

• will conduct an examination of the muscle corset and tendons;
• will collect an anamnesis;
• will conduct muscle testing and determine biomechanical disorders;
• will discuss the treatment plan;
• will advise the daily routine and lifestyle correcting measures.

Sometimes MRI, X-ray, CT, and ultrasound diagnostics are prescribed additionally to exclude concomitant diseases or pathologies.

After the diagnosis, the doctor will develop an individual plan of measures that will be aimed at changing the muscles functional work systematically and instilling new moving skills. The complex needs to be adjusted each time during dynamic observation and by assessing muscle responses to treatment and changes in their work.
