Why this is interesting. The course will help students develop a systematic understanding of the principles of decompression kinesiotherapy and the Bubnovsky method; the ability to conduct a functional examination of a patient, an understanding of myofascial chains and their impact on pain, the principles of working on Bubnovsky exercise machines (MTB); selection and adaptation of decompression exercises without provoking pain.

You will learn:

• The basics of decompression kinesiotherapy and the Bubnovsky method

• Myofascial chains: concept, main types of myofascial chains in the body, and their role in the formation of movement patterns

• General anatomy of the cervical and thoracic spine and the shoulder girdle.

• Workflow algorithm and general exercise regimen on the MTB to reduce pain.

• Functional assessment of patients prior to rehabilitation intervention on the MTB.

• Principles of developing individualized rehabilitation programs.
