Manual techniques
Cyriax method is a therapeutic treatment of joints and soft tissues. It combines the principles of manual treatment of the spoinal cord and large joints, as well as targeted treatment of muscles and tendons. A precise diagnosis of affected structures is performed before each treatment. The diagnosis begins with anamnesis, which is followed by examination and functional testing of the treated area. After setting the diagnosis, we choose the most efficient therapeutic procedure, considering of course the personality of the individual and the duration and location of affected area. Various therapeutic options are possible: in-depth cross massage (friction), manipulation, mobilization and traction. These procedures are usually complemented by every day home exercise. The important part of this physiotherapy treatment is cross friction, which can in simple words be described as special massage technique of muscle-tendon crossings and tendon-bone connection. These areas can be affected and hurt mostly because of sport or chronic overburdening. For example: shoulder joints pain, tennis elbow, irritation of Achille’s tendon, stretching of knee joint. Some successive Cyriax method treatments can improve those conditions and also affect the tendons’ structure.
It is a successful manual therapy which uses a special technique and sequence of touches to relax the tensed and painful points of the muscles. This technique is suitable for acute and chronic problems, especially where it comes to paraesthesia due to long-lasting muscle tensions.
