Abstract
Mojzisova method was introduced in seventieth in Czechoslovakia by Ludmila Mojzisova. Nowadays it is mainly used to treat gynecological dysfunctions.
The success rate of treatment with the Mojzisova method ranges from 35% to 75%, depending on the diagnose type. Indications for treatment include vertebrogenic disorders, infertility, dysmenorea, dyspareunia, coccycodynia, certain types of urinary retention problems and incontinence, certain types of constipation and pelvalgia.
The Mojzisova method consist of the mobilisation of ribs, spinal column, sacroiliac joint and coccyx (per rectum). Coccyx mobilisation is applied simultaneously with the treatment of pelvis floor muscles.
The therapy also includes a set of twelve exercises performed by patients on their own at home. The Mojzisova method is nowadays combined with other physiotherapeutic techniques, such as the activation of deep stabilizing muscles, foot function or visceral manipulation.
Visceral manipulation was developed by a French osteopathologist and physical therapist Jean-Pierre Barral. It is a very gentle type of manual therapy that works with the structural relationships between internal organs and their connective tissues (fascia or ligaments), encouraging proper mobility, tone and motion.
Soft tissues loose their mobility as a result of inflammation or traumatic injury. These problems can be intensified by repeated non-ergonomic movements, harmful environmental influences, unhealthy lifestyle, faulty posture or emotional stress.
Tissues generally heal by forming adhesions or scars, which are areas where the arrangement of fibrous fibers is altered. The visceral manipulation technique works with the fascias that surround and support the internal organs.
Visceral manipulation is more accurately classified as a mobilization technique because it is performed very gently and slowly (as oppossed to classical manipulation techniques). The combination of the Mojzisova method with visceral mobilization can be used to eliminate abdominal or spinal pain, improve internal organ function and normalize tone of soft tissues.
