Changes in the lifestyle of modern people cause functional disorders, although not structural, in the musculoskeletal system from a very young age.
Straightening Exercise Program
Group Florence Nightingale Hospitals Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation The program created within the department; It is a treatment program used in all cases where the body is biomechanically deteriorated due to any orthopedic, neurological and even metabolic reasons and associated pain, movement restrictions, shape and posture disorders occur, and muscle strength and endurance decrease.
The basic philosophy here is; to evaluate the body as a functioning biomechanical system and to ensure that all the structures that make up the musculoskeletal system work harmoniously and fluently with each other, as in a well-functioning machine.
Why is posture disorder important?
Posture disorders These situations, which we call 'as', actually bring together much deeper problems. Because in the process that starts with the deterioration of posture, not only neck, back and waist pains, but also a process of dysfunction related to the whole body begins. If we think of the body as a building, the spine is the supporting column of this building.
In other words, the defects in this column will affect the durability of the whole building and cause it to be more affected by vibrations and impacts. All the structures that make up the musculoskeletal system are in interaction with each other. Due to these physical interaction mechanisms, which we call kinetic chains, injuries related to all structures in the arms and legs are more common in a person with a spinal disorder.
Human health depends on the health of the spine
From this biomechanical point of view It can be said that human health depends on the health of the spine. The deep muscle structures of the spine, especially in the back and waist region, form an internal bracing system for the body to move healthily and safely during our daily activities. When we strengthen this internal bracing system, we will have a healthy carrier column, that is, our spine.
Not only the neck, back and waist pains, but also the loads on the shoulder, hip, knee and ankle regions will be controlled so that the disabled can be injured� It is possible to prevent outbreaks. By strengthening the internal bracing system, we can have a much more fluid and energetic musculoskeletal system that is less fatigued. This control and fluency in movements results in being a happy individual who has a correct posture in our daily life, is painless, has less risk of injury, and has a high body image.
How to apply a correct posture posture program?
This program, which is implemented in our hospitals, covers an average of 10 weeks, implemented in 5-week sections. First of all, it starts with the evaluation of the person by the Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation specialist. This evaluation includes the evaluation of the human musculoskeletal system as a moving system and mainly includes posture, gait, muscle strength and neurological examination. exercise practices are started.
In the correct posture and posture program; The exercise system used is whole body electrical muscle stimulation (EMS). In this system, which provides electrical stimulation to the main muscles of the body, the patient always actively performs medical exercises. The application is done for 25 minutes and a maximum of 2 times a week. The patient, who works for 10 sessions in 5 weeks, is evaluated by the physician at the end of this period. As a result of this evaluation, a decision is made for the next stage. Generally, an average of 20 sessions, ie 10 weeks, is required to provide a good posture correction and strengthening in the internal bracing system. In other words, it is possible to get big results by making small but correct and safe movements. Another important feature is that this program can strengthen the deep inner bracing muscles that are located around the spine and are responsible for protecting it, which we cannot actually train with conventional exercise programs. Who are the patient groups that benefit most?
Who benefits most from postural rehabilitation program with whole body electro muscle stimulation? Suffering patient groups are those who have not been able to return to their daily lives, especially after diseases and surgeries involving the back and waist region.
These include painful muscle spasms, herniated discs, osteoporosis with or without a fracture, osteoporosis, posture disorders and related neck, back and waist pains, hip problems and shoulder problems, especially due to metabolic diseases. Diseases such as diabetes and obesity with improper fat distribution and posture disorders are also included in this program.
