Biomechanical therapy is a method of physical therapy that utilizes mechanical influences on the body for treatment and restoration of bodily functions. This methodology is based on the principles of biomechanics, which study the interaction of mechanical structures of the body with its functional processes.
During biomechanical therapy sessions, various mechanical tools are used, such as massage, stretches, therapeutic exercises, traction or compression devices, and other techniques to impact muscles, joints, and other tissues.
The primary goal of biomechanical therapy is to improve body functions, reduce pain, enhance blood circulation, and alleviate movement restrictions. This method can be employed for treating various conditions and injuries such as muscle tension, sports injuries, arthritis, tendonitis, and to support the recovery process post-surgery.
Biomechanical therapy reflects an integrated approach to rehabilitation, where mechanical influences are combined with other methods such as physiotherapy, rehabilitation exercises, and others, to achieve maximum effectiveness in restoring bodily functions.
