Bascharage Manual Therapy
Manual therapy, a holistic and effective approach to health care, focuses on restoring and optimizing mobility and balance throughout the human body. This therapeutic practice, which is aimed at a wide range of patients – from athletes to the less active, from the young to the elderly – is based on advanced biomechanical and neurophysiological principles. It aims to identify and treat the underlying causes of musculoskeletal dysfunction.
Manual therapy is based on :
- Understanding patient pain
- Analyze algae parameters
- Find the origin of symptoms through the different structures of the body: parietal – visceral – craniosacral.
The various techniques used in manual therapy are as follows:
- Cyriax method
- Postural kinesiology
- Myofascial hooking
- Posturology
- Muscle inhibitions
- Direct techniques via HVBA thrusts
- Clinical treatment of orthopedic and disc injuries
The guiding principles of manual therapy are :
- The primary and secondary lesion and its system of occurrence
- Cause of pain and injury
- Injury mechanisms – biomechanical and extrinsic
- Tests and/or diagnostics: palpatory, functional and dynamic, reflex and tissue tests
- Studying ascending and descending chains
For an athlete who has suffered an injury or lesion of any kind, the ultimate goal of manual therapy is a rapid return to competition after treatment of the injury in its entirety, avoiding the risk of recurrence as far as possible.
For non-athletes, the main aim of the treatment is to alleviate the pain encountered and described by the patient, and to restore optimal mobility on a daily basis.
