Efficacy of Physiotherapy in Reducing Back Pain and Improve Joint Mobility in Older Women.

CONCLUSIONS: 1. The 6-week physical therapy programme desig-ned by us constitutes an effective therapy for pain relief in patients with degenerative changes of the spine. 2. The proposed combination of sonotherapy, elec-tro-therapy and classic massage procedures with general fitness exercises in low positions and au-to-genic training contributed significantly to im-provement in flexibility of the upper and lower part of the body and increasing the range of mo-tion in joints of the lower and upper extremities and the spine in women over 60 years of age. 3. The proposed set of procedures and exercises may be used in women over 60 years of age with the aim of improving selected components of biolo-gical fitness. PMID: 31019113 [PubMed - in process]
