Specialisation

Posture — Global Postural Reeducation (RPG)

Global Postural Reeducation (RPG) is a method that rebalances the joint through the muscular pathway. It releases the muscular restrictions that build up after trauma or through the repetition of daily, professional or sporting movements: muscle shortening unbalances the joint and leads to pain, blockage, inflammation, stiffness, osteoarthritis or loss of range of motion.

Reasons for consultation

  • Low back, mid-back and neck pain and neuralgia
  • Herniated discs
  • Postural disorders: scoliosis, hyperlordosis, rounded back
  • Shoulder, knee, hip and ankle conditions
  • Sports injuries and overuse conditions
  • Pre- and post-operative treatment

The treatment

A gentle, progressive and active method, based on global work on the muscle chains.

  • One-to-one sessions
  • Full postural assessment to identify the origin of your complaints
  • Active stretching postures with integrated breathing work
  • Exercises and advice to maintain the results
