Meant as it’s name says for people that work sitting down (no matter of the age). They don’t take up much time. 13 Exercises, each is about 40 sec. long. You don’t need any special equipment, and all you need is 8 minutes of your time and some good will. After that you will fill less stiff, more nimble a cheerful. Exercise them 1-2 time a day and that is that.
The new DVD from the workshop of Tonći Šitić, who this time shows us exercises for stretching. It is useful for those who are already attending therapy and are somehow involved in the rehabilitation process. It is also important for people that involved in sports to prevent injuries.

This DVD “Exercises for spine – medical gymnastic in 23 steps” continues where the last CD left off, it shows 23 carefully selected exercises, where the user can identify himself while doing them, they don’t need any special equipment or clothes, they can be done almost anywhere from you home to the gym, which is extremely important and is only product of it’s kind which is recommended by Croatian Society of Physiotherapists.
This is the logical continuation of the “Exercises for spine” DVD which was greatly adopted. Most of the questions were how to exercise the legs correctly, how to have an reminder after learning the exercises, and which exercises to do for which leg problems.

| Treatment by hand (manipulations) belongs to a group of mechanic-therapeutical procedures of physical medicine.Nowdays, manipulations, also called chiropractic are put into scientifically confirmed procedures which are applied worldwide in the treatment and specially with patients who suffer from certain spine changes. General characteristics of manipulative applications (passive and active mobilization, forceful passive movements) were explained in the article. Application of manipulations were presented in damages of lum- bal spine and morphological and biomechanical basis of this treatment was explained. Several most effective manipulations were presented that alleviate painful conditions within other measures of physical medicine (indepen- dent exercises, change of body posture, breathing exercises, mental and body relaxation). Key words:treatment by hand, manipulation, chiropractic, low - back pain | |||||||||

| Scientifically tested treatment of diseases by manipulation has been widely approved as a medical procedure, while in our country it is still practiced in only few institutions. The authors have attempted to adjust extensive information on manipulation from the medical literature with experience gained at the Center for Pain Killing, Department of Neurosurgery, School of Medicine, University of Zagreb. Special attention has been paid to patients with inguinal spine disorders, manifested as low-back pain and lumboischialgia. The sample consisted of 60 patients (30 with low-back pain and 30 with lumboischialgia) treated at the Center with the procedure described in depth. The mean age of patients was 40 years, the youngest one having 29 and the oldest 46. In patients with low-back pain, the results were satisfactory in 18 (60%) patients, improvement was recorded in 7 (23.4%) and the treatment failed in 5 (16.64%) patients. In lumboischialgia, the treatment results were satisfactory in 17 (57%) patients, improvement was recorded in 8 (26.4%) and the treatment failed in 5 (16.6%) patients. Based upon extensive literature records and modest personal experience, the authors have come to a conclusion that manipulation treatment is a valuable supplementary procedure, with the aim of relieving discomfort and removing disorder in patients with inguinal spine disorders. Summary: Treatment by hand (manipulations) belong to a group of mechanic-therapeutical procedures of physical medicine, and current manipulations, also called chiropractic.

Summary: Treatment by hand (manipulations) belong to a group of mechano-therapeutical procedures of physical medicine, and currently manipulations, also called chiropractic are put into scientifically coofimied procedures which are applied wortdwide in the treatnnent and specially in patients with certain spine cbanges. General characteristics of manipulation applications (passive and active motiilization, forceful passive movements) were explained in the article. Application of manipulations was speciatly presented in damages of lum- bar vertebrae and morphological and biomechanical basis of this treatment was explained. Several most effective manipulations have been presented which alleviate painful conditions within other measures of physical medicine (independent exercises, change of body posture, breathing exercises, mental and body relaxation). | |||||||||

The authors have attempted to adjust extensive information on chiropractic from the medical literature with experience gained at the Center for Pain Killing, Department of Neurosurgery, School of Medicine, University of Zagreb, with special attention to patients with cervical spine disorder. The sample consisted of 30 patients treated at the Center with the procedure described in depth. The results were satisfactory in 17 (57%) patients, improvement was recorded in 9 (30%) and the treatment failed in 4 (13%) patients. Based upon extensive literature records and modest personal experience, the authors have come to a conclusion that manipulation treatment is a valuable supplementary procedure with the aim of relieving discomfort and removing disorder in patients with damaged cervical spine, which is supposed to be practiced together with already established medical treatment | |||||||||
