The Method

Functional and Holistic Rehabilitation

01 — First Step - Assessment

Comprehensive Postural Assessment

Each treatment begins with an assessment tailored to the patient’s needs, making it possible to define the goals and treatment approach.

02 — Analysis

Occluso-Postural Analysis

Depending on the findings gathered during the clinical examination, the assessment may be supplemented by specific equipment designed to analyze posture, gait, and muscle strength.

03 — Treatment

Targeted Rehabilitation

Following the assessment, treatment is guided by the identified dysfunctions and underlying causes. A personalized rehabilitation program is developed in consultation with the patient, taking into account their needs, expectations, and goals.


04 — Follow-Up

Progressive Therapeutic Follow-Up

Treatment is progressively adapted according to clinical progress and the results achieved. This approach aims to address the identified dysfunctions in a targeted manner while promoting lasting improvements in function and everyday comfort.

05 — Multidisciplinary Approach

Multidisciplinary Coordination

A comprehensive and complementary approach may be considered when the situation requires it. Assessment and treatment can then draw on the expertise of the various professionals within the multidisciplinary team, allowing different perspectives to be combined and therapeutic strategies to be tailored as closely as possible to the patient’s needs.

The approach

From head to toe, a holistic approach to the body.

An initial assessment helps identify the rehabilitation goals, taking into account both the findings of the clinical evaluation and the objectives expressed by the patient. The treatment plan is therefore personalized and tailored to each individual situation.

The postural approach broadens the analysis beyond the painful area or the initial condition, considering the patient as a whole and looking for possible interactions between different regions of the body.

When necessary, this approach can be complemented by the expertise of the various medical and allied healthcare professionals within the team, in order to provide coordinated and multidisciplinary care.
