(ACT) Acral Coactivation Therapy used in our clinic

18 února, 2024 by admin0
 In this article we would like to introduce you to the method used by our certified physiotherapists in their therapies. The founder of the method is PhDr. Ingrid Palaszczakova Špringrová, Ph.D and it is known not only in our country, but it is recognized worldwide. 
This concept, like Prof. Kolář's DNS, is based on the developmental kinesiology of the child, which is the development of the newborn in its first year of life. It uses different developmental positions that the child should master during development with the correct body alignment and muscle coactivation. These include supine lying, high oblique sitting, prone position, sitting on 4, etc. Conversely, we adults often forget or do these positions incorrectly and various pains from overuse, poor body alignment, poor movement patterns, etc. can result.
What is the main goal of the (ACT) exercise?

The goal of Acral Co-Activation Therapy exercises is to stretch the spine as much as possible, activate the correct muscle chains, and activate the deep stabilization system, all in the presence of proper alignment of our arms and legs. In this exercise we perform bracing on the roots of the hands and heels. It is very important to maintain the arch on both the foot and the hand. 

How often do I need to exercise and for whom is the therapy suitable?

With this exercise, the dosage is also important, so that we program this correct body setting into our brain and thus relearn our bad habits and bad stereotypes. This type of exercise is suitable for everyone and with our qualified therapists we will create an individual plan for you in which the best movement patterns are selected, dosage is set, frequency of visits and everything that will be needed to suit your needs.

The entire therapy is based on a detailed initial examination to ensure that the therapy is as effective as possible and no unwanted complications occur. We try to devise a way that the exercise is not confined to the home environment, but that the client can exercise anytime and anywhere. Many aids can also be used in the exercise so that the exercise is not stereotyped. 

We look forward to your visit, FYZIO MEDICO CLINIC team.
