[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.

[Myofascial dysfunction of the lumboinguinal muscle and the experience with the diagnostic and therapeutic work in a cabinet of reflexotherapy].

The authors present a detailed description of the following diagnostic and therapeutic modalities: palpation techniques for the detection of myofascial trigger points, the dynamic ischemic compression maneuver that makes it possible to identify the pathomorphological substrate of the trigger point lying deep in the muscular tissue, and the methods of musculofascial meridional reflexotherapy for the alleviation ofmyofascial pains. The importance of the correction of structural disproportions in the musculoskeletal apparatus potentiating inactivation of myofscial trigger points (MfTP) is emphasized.
