[Myofascial meridional reflexotherapy of scapulohumeral periarthrosis in the course of the combined spa and health resort-based treatment].

The authors draw attention to the role of a whiplash injury in the pathogenesis of scapulohumeral periarthrosis (SHP). Peculiarities of the specific pathological biomechanical changes associated with this condition are described. The study included a group of 64 patients in whom the localization of the myofascial trigger points (MFTT) of the shortened muscles is described with reference to the differential techniques for soft-tissue manual therapy.
