The Vojta Method is a method based on the principle of reflex locomotion. Its discoverer, Václav Vojta, has made admirable progress with it in polio patients. What exactly is it? How and in which patients is it used?

Summer is the time for various sports, recreational and mountain activities. In particular, you should be careful of foot injuries, which are very common in summer.

Scheuermann's disease is a disease of the spine. It affects a relatively high percentage of the adolescent population. It is manifested by hyperkyphosis, i.e. abnormally excessive convex curvature of the spine. Pain and other difficulties are associated with back curvature.

Facet syndrome and chronic back pain are closely related. It is stated that pain arising from the articulation of vertebrates is the cause of 15-45% of long-term difficulties. The problem is mainly the lumbar section of the spine, less often the neck.

Vertebrogenic algic (pain) syndrome is a term that brings together a broad group of spinal disorders. The problems stem from a functional or structural disorder of the spine. They have one common symptom, namely back pain.

Kyphosis is a term for the natural curvature of the spine. Inaccurately, this term also refers to pathological bending, ie excessive kyphosis. Professionally hyperkyphosis.

Lordosis refers to the natural curvature of the spine.  Hyperlordosis is excessive. It can be caused by a birth defect or poor posture. It causes back pain, but, in the worst case, structural changes in the vertebrae or platelets.

Scoliosis is a lateral deviation of the spine to the side. The spinal misalignment is especially noticeable in children, but it can affect any age group. It not only has a medical impact, but also a social or cosmetic one.

Cauda equina syndrome is an acute condition that occurs when the bundle of nerves below the end of the spinal cord is compressed. It causes pain and neurological damage.

Spinal stenosis develops due to degenerative changes that lead to a narrowing of the spinal canal. The spinal canal and spinal nerves passes through the spinal cord. The condition develops over a long period of time and usually manifests itself after the age of 50.

Osteochondrosis is a long-term degenerative process that affects the spine and primarily the intervertebral disc. Consequently, pathological changes have a negative impact on the affected vertebra as well as the entire segment. The result is back pain and other issues.

The concept of cardio is very widespread among the sporting public. Why do people actually include it in their physical activities? How does it compare to other workouts? Whether it can be practiced by everyone and the suitability of different workouts in terms of age categories will be discussed in this article.

Ladies, look out! Do you love high heels? They're beautiful and they make a woman's feet look sexy. But only temporarily. If worn for long periods of time, they distort the arch of the foot and can cause toe deformity. Hallux valgus doesn't look so nice.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a hand disease that affects mostly women. It is caused by oppression of the median nerve. It causes discomforts such as stiffness, tingling, numbness to severe seizure pain, occurring mostly at night. Prevention of this occupational disease is either a change of occupation or correct hand position and exercise. How to do it?

The degenerative process affecting the hips is called coxarthrosis. This disease not only disrupts the structure in the lumbar region, but also causes ankylosis of the articular joint, inequalities in the length of the lower limbs and leads to a disturbance in the stability of the spinal axis. It significantly affects the patient's life. Ultimately, a total hip arthroplasty (TEP) is necessary.

It is not for nothing that they say we are what we eat. Diet significantly influences various processes in the body and affects the psyche of a person. It is important not only in the onset of diseases, but also in their prevention and treatment. Osteoarthritis and its onset can also be influenced by diet. Appropriate foods are important in delaying its onset, but also support the treatment itself. In the first stages of the disease, even dietary changes and supplements are preferred over pharmacological therapy. Which foods are suitable for patients with arthritis?

Arthritis is only a fraction of musculoskeletal disorders. However, due to the increasing tendency of elderly patients, we are encountering it more and more often. It is a degenerative disease of the articular cartilage affecting the hands and feet or the spine. This degenerative process has various causes, but most often it is caused by aging. Aging is an irreversible process, which was short-lived by alchemists of the past, but also by today's medicine. However, it is possible to alleviate its symptoms to some extent and thus make the life of an arthritis patient more fulfilling. How to do it?

Osteoporosis causes weakening and fragility of the bones. It is a silent and gradually developing disease. Who is at risk? What are the symptoms and treatment?
