About 20% of the world's population suffers from diseases of the spine and joints. Pain when moving forces us to change our usual way of life, we lose physical activity, experience psychological discomfort. The treatment offered by traditional medicine today: rest, anti-inflammatory and painkillers, physiotherapy procedures. And when the prescribed treatment does not help, the patient is offered surgery.
A unique patented method developed by Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor S.M. Bubnovsky (Moscow, Russia), unlike traditional approaches, allows helping the patient not with medications or operations, but by turning on the mechanisms of natural recovery. Over the years of working with this method, S.M. Bubnovsky and his associates have returned thousands of people to normal life.
The method is based on the view of the musculoskeletal system as a single whole. The muscles adjacent to the joint protect it from injury, provide its nutrition and functional state. Spasmodic or weak muscles are not able to fully perform these functions. The result is a violation of the nutrition of the joint or intervertebral disc, a decrease in the amount of intra-articular fluid - "drying out", dystrophic changes in cartilage, compression of nerve endings, inflammation, spasms and pain.
At Doctor Bubnovsky’s Center, “prescriptions” are written in the form of sets of special exercises on Bubnovsky’s multifunctional training machines (MTB), allowing the restoration of nutrition to a specific joint or the required section of the spine.
An individual training program is developed for each patient, taking into account their age and condition, and the Center's certified instructors carefully monitor the correctness of its implementation. The patient only needs to strictly follow the recommendations and internally tune in to victory over himself. Comfortable exercise performance, even in acute conditions, is ensured by the special design of the equipment and the specifics of the exercise structure, a significant part of the load is taken by the simulator. Weakened patients are selected adapted exercises, which they cope with with pleasure, moving on to more complex programs. Particular emphasis is placed on proper breathing, without which it is impossible to achieve a full effect.
Exercises not only restore motor functions, return working capacity, but also improve the physical condition of the entire body as a whole. And the opportunity to feel healthy again, to feel the joy of movement without pain - improves the patient's morale.
“With us, from lesson to lesson, a person strengthens his faith in himself, becomes even stronger than before the illness...” (S.M. Bubnovsky).
