Adapted reflextherapy in spinal pain
International Conference and Expo on Novel Physiotherapies
Gunnel A L Berry
The Christie NHS Foundation Trust Manchester, UK
ScientificTracks Abstracts: J Nov Physiother
Abstract
Adapted Reflextherapy, AdRx, has been used as a method of treatment to relieve acute and persistent musculo-skeletal pain for 20 years in the National Health Service physiotherapy department and private practice in the United Kingdom. The therapy is applied with manual pressure and mobilising techniques on the feet in order to assist physiological and anatomical changes in context of persistent musculoskeletal pain particularly post injury. This workshop follows on from the plenary presentation and will demonstrate five AdRx treatment techniques on a volunteer. Whilst AdRx is mainly used to relieve pain it also has influence on spinal and peripheral mobility. Clinical measures will be used to assess changes pre- and postintervention. Working in pairs, the participants will be given an opportunity to try out a very basic technique, should they wish to do so. Emphasis is made on the rationale of possible physiological changes and safe, yet effective, practice.Biography
