• analytical basis (when correcting motor disorders, exercises are used to increase the range of movement and muscle strength). Such elements of LTV include, for example, active and passive exercise (with assistance, with resistance), exercise with aids (tools, utensils), fitness exercise, manual and physical therapy, etc.

• neurophysiological basis (these are more complex procedures with a focus on muscle coactivation in the required muscle loops). Such elements of LTV include, for example, Vojta, Bobath, Klapp, etc.

Physical therapy is an empirically based treatment system that utilizes the effects of various types of external energy on the human organism. It thus complements the treatment process appropriatel healing and restoring the functionality of the locomotor apparatus, helps faster regeneration and enables an earlier return to normal life. In our center, we use the most modern physical therapy equipment on the market, which guarantees an acceleration of the healing process and you will be able to enjoy life without pain again.

The most common effects of instrumental physical therapy include:

• Analgesic effect (reduction or elimination of pain):

It is divided into primary effect (affecting sensitive nerve fibers) and secondary

(affecting tissue metabolism with subsequent pain relief). Before application

of any analgesic method, it is important to find out the cause of the pain.

• Myorelaxant, spasmolytic effect (muscle relaxation):

A great advantage of myorelaxation procedures is the possibility of precisely targeted action to a hypertonic or spastic muscle.

First of all, they affect the phasic muscles, which are mostly already primarily weakened in the frame muscle imbalances. Later, or at a higher dose, they mainly affect the muscles tonic character. Finally, at the highest doses, they also affect the muscles hypertonic.

• Myostimulating effect (muscle stimulation):

Stimulation of denervated muscles using electrotherapy.

• Trophotropic effect (support of local cell metabolism):

It is caused by hyperemia, which occurs in practically all types of physical therapy.

However, the mechanism of hyperemia differs in different types of physical therapy, therefore at this mechanism must be taken into account when choosing a specific procedure.

• Anti-edematous effect (reduction or elimination of swelling):

This effect is practically linked to hyperemia, eutonization of blood vessels and increase

permeability of the capillaries and therefore the procedures listed as trophotropic can be done at the same time also considered anti-edematous.
