Kinesitherapy

Profizikal kineziterapija

Kinesitherapy (movement therapy) is a basic part of the rehabilitation process. At Profizikal, kinesitherapy is carried out individually, depending on the general state of the body. Most often, we combine it with other procedures in order to obtain the best results in the shortest possible time. As kinesitherapy not only activates the muscles but also the central nervous and cardiovascular system, it serves to improve conditions such as diseases of the heart and blood vessels, as well as diseases of the respiratory organs and neurological diseases. It is used in the recovery from sports injuries because it accelerates the return to fitness. Exercises are applied based on the affliction in question, such as: exercises for lumbar syndrome, cervical syndrome, exercises for all types of fractures, exercises for kyphosis and scoliosis, exercises for shaping flat feet (as well as other types of corrective exercises).

PNF technique

Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) is a treatment concept that involves stretching and contracting (activation) of the muscle group being targeted in order to achieve maximum static flexibility. Physiotherapists use it to improve muscle elasticity and it has been shown to have a positive effect on active and passive range of motion.

PNF is a painless method. By applying this technique, the therapist does not judge what the patient can't do, but focuses on what he can do and works to develop it, all with the goal of regaining function. The therapist works closely with the patient and this creates a feeling of security for the patient. The focus in PNF is individual work of the therapist with the patient.
