Written by:The POLD method is a set of advanced techniques of physiotherapy scientific applied manually. His immediate goal is to relieve pain, but mostly and mainly solve that cause injuries.
POLD method: what it is
It is to make an oscillatory movement, manually, in soft tissues (muscles, tendons, etc.) and joints of the affected area, and those others with which relates. This oscillation causes the tissues change their metabolism, relax muscles and joint mobility is released.
From that state, maneuvers are applied to realign the joint position and regenerate damaged areas and thus eliminate inflammation, pain and finally the injury that caused it is resolved.
In most cases, it takes between three and five sessions to solve the problem, depending on whether it is more or less old. In very few cases it is to reach the 10 sessions, even in the most complicated, such as herniated discs. When pains are chronic, such as fibromyalgia, the patient usually needs a maintenance session per month and that the effects and welfare are maintained.
