WHAT IS GLOBAL POSTURAL REEDUCATION (G.P.R.) SOUCHARD METHOD

Описание: This is the DEMO version of my RPG SOUCHARD METHOD Webinar I recorder for The APTA (Australian Physical Therapist association) in 2016 (THE FULL VERSION IS ABOUT 1 HOUR) just to give an overview on the core concepts that are at the base of GPR method.
This technique was born 30 years ago in France from the study of Professor Philippe Souchard and especially in these past 5 years, thanks to the growing scientific publications (now more than 100) it has had an enormous growth that brought it to be taught in more than 18 countries in the world with about 22000 Physical therapist already formed and growing.
During the full webinar we'll see how this method analyses biomechanical and neuromuscular imbalance and how it treats them to avoid pathological compensation of alterations throughout the patient body. For that reason one of the instruments of this method are exercises made through therapeutic Postures, giving the operator the possibility to balance all those compensations under a strict and precise control. This therapeutic approach gives also the therapist the possibility to fine and actively balance the altered muscular tensions in position that simultaneously permit the decompression and manipulation of the articular surfaces.
G.P.R. acts on problems that have source or that are connected to an altered biomechanics; among this we find:
Deviations of the spinal column as the scoliosis, hyperlordosis, hypercifosis, knee valgus or varum, flat or cavus foot.
Problems that come from articular hyperpression as discal hernias. Cervical, dorsal, lumbar articular lesions ( bad positioning of one or more vertebras in comparison with the others ). It has an excellent effect on all the respiratory problems due to an altered mechanics. In Sport it also acts in increasing of sport performance. Last but not least in cases of Neurological spasticity it can help to manage the hypertonus( being an tone inibitory approach)

Presenter
Emiliano Grossi was born in Rome, where he still works as director physiotherapist of the Rehabilitation and Physiotherapy Center FisioClinic. Grown up in his family marketing and television communication environment, he is naturally fascinated by sciences and the human body functioning. After experiences and decorations achieved in the United States, where he had the opportunity to perform dissections and deepen his studies, in 2000 he graduated with honors in the faculty of Physiotherapy at La Sapienza University in Rome. He immediately began a scientific work that leaded him from 2004 to take part in national and international conferences. Also in 2004 he founded “FisioClinic Italia”, a new rehabilitation concept based on strict control protocols focused on patient delivered and perceived quality that made the brand a today reference and guarantee of "high-end Physiotherapy". Since 2005 he has been commissioned by the Université de Thérapie Manuelle - (France) in the Post-University Global Postural Re-education team together with Prof. Ph. Souchard. He is professor of Active Global Stretching (SGA). His interests, as well as to all the pathological aspects related to the spine and the human posture, are directed towards rehabilitation of the problems related to the sport and to the study of how to increase the performance in various disciplines. Besides the scientific-divulgative articles written, in 2019 he participated with Prof Chaitow and other important authors, to the second edition of "Fascial Dysfunction" book with a chapter on the scientific bases of the GPR method in manual therapy.
In 2021 he collaborated with Prof. Souchard on the writing of "Global Postural Re-education - Tradition, Present and Future” a book now translated into different languages.
