The TGS 3D is a holistic therapy for treating scoliosis that integrates exercises, breathing techniques, and relaxation treatments. It is a therapy combining both active and passive components for the patient.
The active component for the patient
The active component involves exercises carried out by the patient under the guidance of a therapist. Once the movements are mastered, they shall be practiced independently at home.
All movements in the active component are tailored to the patient’s specific spinal condition and include particular types of corrections such as derotations. These exercises are customized for each patient and can be either isometric or fluid. To ensure proper posture, the use of one or two mirrors is recommended, allowing the patient to check their alignment from both the front and side.
In addition to these targeted exercises, the patients learn to adopt practical, everyday postural habits that can be easily incorporated into their daily routine.
Recognizing that patients may experience fatigue or may not always be in optimal physical condition, relaxation postures tailored to their specific form of scoliosis are also taught.
The active component serves as the foundation for all scoliosis treatment therapies.
The relaxation therapy: passive component
The passive component focuses on muscle relaxation, performed by the therapist using various techniques.
The physiotherapist aims to balance tensions in the muscular system to alleviate pain, and improve blood circulation in contracted areas, thereby promoting relaxation and release.
Through targeted massage techniques, the therapist releases contracted muscles and tones those that lack sufficient strength. These massages are carefully applied precisely along the muscular chain and adapted to the patient’s specific form of scoliosis.
Gentle and precise stretching techniques are employed to release tension in contracted structures, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia.
Additional physiotherapy methods to enhance blood circulation may also be utilized. These include:
• Fango Therapy: The application of therapeutic, mineral-rich mud for its healing properties.
• Hot Rolls: Rolled towels soaked in hot water to soothe muscles.
• Ultrasound Therapy: Used to target pain and reduce inflammation.
• Electrotherapy: For effective pain relief and muscle stimulation.
Each technique is selected and customized to address the patient’s unique needs and condition.
