Method Mézierès and Souchard

Global Postural Rehabilitation (RPG) is a postural rehabilitation method that aims to restore the overall body balance through an individualized and global approach.

Key principles of the RPG:

  • The muscle chains: The RPG considers the body as a set of interconnected muscle chains. An alteration in a part of the chain can cause tension and imbalances in other areas of the body.
  • Posture and pain: The RPG claims that incorrect posture can cause pain and musculoskeletal dysfunction.
  • Search for balance: The goal of the RPG is to restore the balance of the body through the rebalancing of muscle chains and the correction of posture.

Benefits of the RPG:

  • Reduction of pain: The RPG can help reduce muscle-skeletal pain caused by incorrect postures or muscle tensions.
  • Improved posture: The RPG can help improve body posture and alignment.
  • Increased flexibility: The RPG can help increase the flexibility and width of movement of the joints.
  • Prevention of accidents: The RPG can help prevent musculoskeletal injuries.
  • Improved overall well-being: The RPG can help improve overall well-being and quality of life.

The RPG is a safe and effective treatment for people of all ages and with different conditions.

  • Global Posture: The patient takes specific postures to restore body balance.
  • Breathing: Diaphragm breathing is used to facilitate muscle relaxation and improve posture.

03. What is it, how does it work and what conditions can be treated?

What is it?
It is a rehabilitative method with the aim not only to “work on posture” in a generic sense, but also to treat problems often attributable to postural alterations.
How does it work?
After a first postural evaluation where the physiotherapist detects those that can be the major problems of posture, an individual treatment program is set, based on the execution of precise “positions” or “rehabilitative positions”, which will aim to stretch and rebalance the myofascial chains, all supported by a rigorous work on breathing.
What problems can we deal with RPG?
All the dismorfisms of the spine (back hypercyfosis, hyperlordosis etc.), juvenile age scoliosis, discords (protrusions, hernias), headaches, temporary-mandibular joints, overload pathologies or joint inflammations from the shoulders to the knees.
