Gait and balance rehabilitation in physiotherapy: management of locomotion disorders in geriatrics, post-stroke, neurological and traumatological contexts. Gait analysis, postural reprogramming, fall prevention and functional retraining.
Lumbar spine rehabilitation: chronic low back pain management, active spinal stabilization, core strengthening, functional restoration programs and therapeutic education for low back pain patients.
Somatic educational approach developed by Moshé Feldenkrais aimed at improving body awareness and movement efficiency by reprogramming motor habits through the nervous system.
Fascial manipulation system developed by Ida Rolf aimed at realigning the body in the gravitational field by working on connective tissue restrictions over 10 progressive sessions.
Complete chiropractic system developed by Burl Pettibon integrating precise adjustments, specific postural exercises, cervical and lumbar traction devices, and weighted helmets or vests to correct vertebral deviations and restore normal physiological curves.
Chiropractic approach developed by DeJarnette based on the relationship between the sacrum and occiput, using positioning blocks and dysfunction categories to treat the whole body.
Therapeutic approach founded by Léopold Busquet analyzing the human body as a set of interdependent muscle chains (static and dynamic) organized in spirals that run through the entire body, allowing understanding of postural compensations and chronic pain holistically.
Global postural approaches treating the body as an indivisible whole through global stretching postures and correction of hypertonic posterior muscle chains.
Chiropractic system founded on principles of biomechanics and mathematical physics, developed by Donald Harrison, integrating precise radiographic postural analysis, mirror of ideal health based on geometric norms of the spine, and vertebral remodeling protocols using traction, exercises and specific adjustments.
