Postural control, as well as coordination skills, are checked and trained as a result.
This concept uses carefully targeted movement and controlled loading to reverse the deconditioning syndrome related to back pain. Individualized programs are planned based on a questionnaire, physical evaluations and tests. Most back disorders can be treated successfully with this concept.
