musculoskeletal and other functions (respiration,circulation, digestion, metabolic exchanges, etc.). Inthis study, I have decided to check two aspects, checkto what extend Cyriax method specific techniques arean effective treatment means of problems caused bylesions of intervertebral disc (correcting suchdeficiencies column) and whether prophylacticcompliance measures within this method can preventthe disc lesions.Research was conducted on 6 subjects with deviationsof the spine in the sagittal plane (cifoza and lordosis)for a period of 4 months. To assess and compare theresults obtained we use the evaluation form Cyriax,mobility tests and pain scale. From Cyriax method weused deep transverse massage and manipulationtechniques at the spine level and the extremities.- The results, materialized by the disappearance ofpain and correction of bias, confirm that thetechniques of the Cyriax method are an appropriatestrategy for treatment and prophylaxis in spinedisorders. Even if some people have incorrectpositions of the spinal column, (after the age of 25),the sign which forces the patient to correct his/herposition is the pain. The use of the manipulationtechniques within this method must be known andapplied only by people who have attended specializedcourses, in order to prevent any other subsequentcomplications. For the amelioration of the discprotrusions, the disappearance of the pain and thecorrection of the spinal position, maximum 10sessions (1 session every 2-3 days) are used, and theperson treated must follow the prophylaxis measuresmentioned above all his/her life.
