It is a method of passive and active traction stretching of the spine by means of special tools (straps, blocks, rings). The purpose of this method is the action mechanism on the spine, muscles, ligaments, tendons and joint capsules. Short-term or long-term traction force allows to eliminate muscle retraction and deformations. Through this method, the blood circulation of the damaged tissues is improved and the movement stereotype of the spine is normalized. Osteopathic massage can be applied and myorelaxation drugs can be administered before traction extensions.
Indications for use:
• Musculoskeletal traumas;
• Degenerative-dystrophic processes in spine;
• Deformations and contractures of joints.
