The book "Application of specialized physical therapy techniques in the cervical region of the spinal column", by Christos N. Koutsampela and Bias D. Ioannou, is a unique manual in its kind.In most physiotherapy textbooks, a type of technique is proposed for the entire range of human body's kinetic structures. On the contrary, in this book, almost all rehabilitation techniques are proposed for only one structure: the cervical region of the spinal column. The brain communicates with the rest of the body through the cervical region of the spinal column. Throughout our lives, our choices as well as unforeseen situations create problems in the cervical region. Incorrect body positioning during work or rest, physical and psychological stress, poor technique during exercise, direct violent injuries, and sudden changes in speed are factors that cause dysfunction and disorganization of the cervical region of the spinal column.
Physiotherapists are the greatest hope for patients with problems in the cervical region of the spinal column. The book analyzes the specific techniques that physiotherapists can choose and apply in order to restore the problems so that patients can regain optimal communication with their brain.
Techniques of muscular energy technique (MET), stretching and mobilization techniques, relaxation techniques, techniques to improve the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, techniques to release adhesions, acupuncture techniques, massage techniques, techniques to stretch the nervous tissue, techniques for the temporomandibular joints, diaphragmatic breathing techniques, stabilization techniques, and mobilization techniques of the cervical-thoracic region of the spinal column are recommended.
Additionally, ergonomic advice is given to improve body posture during work and rest. Finally, schematic exercises are provided that everyone can easily apply in their own space with the aim of mobilizing, strengthening, and stretching the cervical region of the spinal column.
