We will start with a few notes on the birth of the system, moving on to its principles and finally describing the potential beneficial effects that derive from it.
and struggling to recover, he experimented with multiple rehabilitation techniques, thanks to his knowledge as a physiotherapist and mezierist.The experiments led to the conception of pancafit® which, once patented and widespread, immediately enjoyed a certain success among users, at the same time obtaining the approval of therapists and various operators in the sector.
which, when opening, adheres entirely to the floor.
Two wooden planks are articulated to this structure, constrained to the center of the metal base, free to tilt on the opposite side to form a "V" structure adjustable in opening. This adjustment obviously depends on the protocol requirements.
Pancafit® can be associated with numerous accessories (pads, leg locking straps, elastic bands for toning, etc.) necessary to intensify, improve and personalize the posture of the subject being treated, making him obtain the maximum benefits.
in a global way.
While muscles are able to actively contract, they are not able to stretch except passively.
Hypomobility, postural alterations and paramorphisms are extremely widespread discomforts; it is therefore evident that the musculoskeletal system needs more care to maintain its balance.
One of the most common problems is that of muscle retraction, a condition caused by connective fibrotization inside the muscles, but passively reversible by means of specific treatments on pancafit or massages.
The retracted muscles decompensate both the primarily affected body segment and other districts that are "apparently" far away but which undergo this condition secondarily.
To give a trivial example, a retraction of the lumbar and psoas iliac muscles, especially when associated with a weakness of the posterior thigh and abdomen muscles, can easily lead to chronic excessive anterior rotation of the pelvis.
Small and apparently insignificant traumas or apparently resolved contractures can instead cause pain and subsequently hypomobility. The reaction of the organism is logically to compensate by modifying the posture and reinforcing other districts, to relieve the painful ones. The result in the long term is, almost always, an overload with inflammation of the super recruited districts.
The instability or an apparently imperceptible pain of one leg when standing, for example, can lead the subject to fully load the body weight on the other. This inevitably affects the joints, ligaments, menisci, etc.
With pancafit, respecting this cause-effect principle, the painful area is not directly stimulated which, generally, if not for direct trauma, is an area already stressed (hyperkinetic).
On the contrary, it is the painless area (hypokinetic) - such as a "malfunction" to be found in the postural attitude and habits of the subject.
The work to be carried out to relax the diaphragm can also be interesting and useful which, due to its numerous insertions, its central position in the body and its functional importance, if compromised, can lead to various problems even affecting the internal organs.
, neck pain, shoulder contractures, joint pain, groin pain, etc .;
This does not mean that pancafit cannot be used incorrectly without consequence.
Even the presence of serious pathologies, such as tendon thinning and considerable joint degeneration, require the opinion of the attending physician, or rather, of the orthopedist.
