Case Studies
Some representative cases

The clinical cases described below have been treated with the TIBodywork method. Thanks to a team strategy, this method synergistically integrates a variety of specific techniques as part of a personalized program of postural re-education. The techniques used include the following: manual myofascial and articular techniques (Massage & Bodywork TIB), postural gymnastics (Postural Gym TIB), ergonomics (insoles, shoes, occlusal splints etc.), dietary education and mental education. The objective of the postural re-education program is to restore/improve functionality, and as a result, postural structure and general physical-mental wellbeing according to the principles set forth in this publication. In the following cases, the resolution of symptoms (completely or at least to allow for a return to a normal life) was accompanied by a decisive improvement of function and structure as shown by the postural analysys (Diers Formetric® 4D+ analysis system).
