The method, devised by Françoise Mézières starting in 1947, concerns a comprehensive approach individual rehabilitation technique that, through the restoration of body symmetry, allows functional recovery.

“Corrective” work is accomplished through axial stretching postures, each of which, having to be adapted to the subject being treated, possesses infinite variations and nuances. With the application of these postures, the patient gradually learns how to align and stretch a body that for multiple reasons is forced to deviate from its natural axis of reference.

In this way he can progressively maintain posture for the duration of a session, about 60 minutes, a time that plays positively on the possibilities of effective stretching. Alignment returns the muscles to their physiological length and the body to a new pattern of using its muscle chains.

Through the postures you will gradually gain normal joint width, without going beyond the limit of articularity and maintaining good morphology.

The Mézières Method normalizes all osteo-muscular-articular problems. The field of application is functional pathology:

• Vertebral: low back pain, lumbosciatica, cervical pain, cervicobrachialgia, etc.
• Articular: scapulohumeral periarthritis, coxarthrosis, gonarthrosis, etc.
• Muscular: scalene syndrome, upper thoracic strait syndrome, angular syndrome, etc.
• Dysmorphic: hyperlordosis, hyperclyphosis, scoliosis, valgus/vare knees, flat/void feet.

The method is indicated for prevention in sports (tears, contractures, strains, tendonitis, etc. are greatly reduced) and also finds application in medical
