Treatment of scoliosis

Scoliosis is a condition of the spine characterized by a distinctive curvature. If the curvature reaches 20°Cobb, corset therapy is indicated. If the curvature reaches 40° Cobb, surgery is indicated for the patient. Patients diagnosed with this condition can be successfully treated using a conservative rehabilitation approach. With early detection, regular practice of the Spiral Stabilization method can reduce the scoliotic curve and avoid spinal surgery even for curves above 40 degrees Cobb. However, this requires an experienced physiotherapist and regular exercise several times daily.

• Improves scoliotic curve
• Improves back mobility
• Strengthens the core of the body
• Contributes to the normalization of bone growth in children
• Significantly reduces pain
• Reduces the impact of scoliosis on the body

Case study 1

A child with scoliosis, 8 years old

Anička was diagnosed with idiopathic scoliosis at the age of 4.5 years, and for this reason her parents decided to visit our center. Unfortunately, at that time the curve in the thoracic spine was already over 40° Cobb and the curve in the hips was 39° Cobb, which meant spinal surgery. The surgery date was six months away, which was the time to either reverse the condition of Anička's spine with intensive rehabilitation or prepare her for surgery.

From the very beginning of the rehabilitation, the cooperation of Anička's parents, who regularly exercised with her at home and came to the rehabilitation center for manual techniques, was a very important factor. The first photos show Anička's spine at the age of 4 and a half years. Improvement can be observed after only six months of intensive exercise and manual techniques. The last photos are from the age of 8 and we can see that the curve is improving. A corset worn at night also helped to improve the condition.

Thanks to the Spiral Stabilization rehabilitation, Anička avoided spinal surgery and her scoliotic curve was visibly corrected. For the first year, Anička exercised with her parents at home 3 times a day for 10-15 minutes. Today she only needs parental assistance when a new correction instruction is added to the exercise routine. Once she learns the correction on her own, she does not need any assistance. In the future, regular check-ups with a physiotherapist are important, and it is necessary to watch the period of puberty when it is typical for scoliotic curvature to go wrong again due to hormones. An active family approach is also essential until the child's growth is complete.

Scoliotic curves can be reduced or completely eliminated by exercises, manual techniques and corrections. However, exercising permanently and regularly several times daily is necessary. It is up to each of us to decide what to do with our health.

Treatment of disc herniation

Disc herniation occurs due to wear and tear of the intervertebral discs, for example by prolonged sitting or standing. The most common type of herniation is disc herniation in the cervical and lumbar spine. Tingling sensations, impaired mobility, and sensitivity often accompany this pain.. In the most serious cases, there is a risk of permanent nerve damage.

The Spiral Stabilization exercises can help you absorb a prolapse within 3 to 12 months. At the beginning of the treatment, it is advisable to work with a therapist who will use massage to relax the tight muscles along the spine and stretch the spine. This is immediately followed by exercise. With regular Spiral Stabilization exercises, you can get rid of the pain very soon. However, it is also necessary to build up a muscle corset within three months as it will stabilize and constantly regenerate the body and prevent a recurrence. It is also a good idea to supplement the exercises with an optimally coordinated and stabilized walk of at least two kilometers daily.

• Complete healing of the herniation is realistic
• Absorption of the herniation in 3-12 months
• Building of the muscle corset
• Load distribution in the spine
• Significant pain relief
• Increased flexibility

Treatment of back pain

Back pain affects more than 90% of the population, not only adults but, unfortunately, also children. A sedentary lifestyle, lack of exercise, obesity and other factors contribute to muscle imbalances. Poor posture can easily turn into scoliosis, which should not be underestimated.

With regular exercises of Spiral Stabilization, you can get rid of pain very soon, but it is necessary to exercise regularly and at least twice a day. Ideally, you should do Spiral Stabilization exercises as a preventive measure and make exercise and healthy walking a part of your daily routine.

• Significant pain relief
• Improves mental and physical condition
• Improves the body's immunity
• Better oxygenates the heart and lungs
• Stretches all body muscles
• Stimulates acupressure points

Enhancing athletes' performance

The Spiral Stabilization method is used by many top athletes as fitness training to achieve better results and prevent overload. The exercise strengthens and stretches the muscles, significantly lengthens the stride and speeds up running.

• Strengthening and stretching muscles
• Improving athletic performance
• Faster muscle recovery
• Acceleration of running
• Prevention of damage to health caused by top-level sport
• Extending the range of motion of athletes

High-quality fitness training not only prevents musculoskeletal damage but also helps to improve sports performance, recover more quickly after sports strain, and above all, achieve sporting success without damaging health.

The Spiral Stabilization method can be used to increase performance and reduce health risks in all sports. Especially where maximizing the use of muscle chains is key to performance. The method has been successfully used in soccer, hockey, volleyball, tennis, and athletic sports, as well as fitness and bodybuilding.

Case study 3

A top athlete, bodybuilding

František Hofman was the European Natural Bodybuilding Champion 2012 and 2015, the Natural Bodybuilding World Champion in 2013 and 2016 the overall winner of the Czech National Natural Bodybuilding Championship 2015. He got acquainted with the Spiral Stabilization method thanks to his girlfriend, who suffered back pain. Then he took a course which helped him understand the basic principles of the method and applied them in his weight training. The exercises help him relax the built-up muscles and teach him how to perform the strengthening exercises correctly and, above all, safely.

The Spiral Stabilization method allows you to exercise many muscles at the same time. This can be described as muscle cooperation - muscles are chained together during the movement, strengthening the body’s core - the muscle corset. This increases the strength of individual muscles, and the body learns to create optimally functional movement patterns. For a healthy spine, avoiding exercises that compress the spine is crucial. Therefore, we emphasize stretching the spine upwards. That's the only way the body can regenerate properly.

As František himself says, it was largely the Spiral Stabilization method that helped him to win. Even though he had a career as a top athlete, his spine is undamaged today thanks to proper muscle relaxation and compensation exercises. In top athletes, after some time X-rays show advanced degenerative changes in the spine, which are especially common in fitness. However, there are no visible changes on the X-ray of František.

In bodybuilding and all sports, we should not forget our health. It is one thing to gain volume, strengthen muscles, speed up running or improve sports performance. Another thing is to allow the spine and joints to regenerate and prevent muscle imbalances. And that's precisely what the Spiral Stabilization method can do.
