Discover GPR (Global Postural Reeducation), created by Philippe Souchard. Muscle chain theory, eight treatment postures, breathing integration, scoliosis and herniated disc. Evidence-based holistic physiotherapy approach.
Lumbar spine rehabilitation: chronic low back pain management, active spinal stabilization, core strengthening, functional restoration programs and therapeutic education for low back pain patients.
Ancient therapeutic technique using cups creating suction on the skin to stimulate circulation, release deep muscle tension and promote toxin drainage according to Chinese, Arabic and Western medical traditions.
Techniques combining the release of myofascial restrictions and deactivation of trigger points — foci of muscle hyperirritability creating characteristic referred pain patterns.
Osteopathic articular manipulation technique using high velocity and low amplitude, producing a characteristic 'crack' sound to restore joint mobility.
Osteopathic system developed by Jean-Pierre Barral aimed at evaluating and normalizing the mobility and motility of internal organs to restore their physiological function.
System for assessing and treating spinal pain developed by Robin McKenzie, based on syndrome classification and pain centralization exercises.
The most widely taught and practiced chiropractic technique worldwide, using precise manual HVLA adjustments on the spine and peripheral joints to correct vertebral subluxations.
Global postural approaches treating the body as an indivisible whole through global stretching postures and correction of hypertonic posterior muscle chains.
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.
Highly specific chiropractic system developed by Clarence Gonstead, combining radiographic analysis, postural visualization, instrumentation and palpation to identify and correct subluxations with maximum precision.
Chiropractic technique using a table with movable sections that drop slightly during adjustment, reducing required force and increasing specificity of vertebral corrections.
Non-invasive chiropractic disc decompression technique using an articulated table that allows flexion, distraction and lateral mobilization movements to treat disc herniation and low back pain without thrust.
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.
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.
