Narrative: The purpose of the work was to study the effectiveness of treatment and rehabilitation with a new method of therapy, P-DTR (Proprioceptive Deep Tendon Reflex). The P-DTR method is intended for the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of injuries and diseases; it is a reflexive way of working with somatic dysfunctions in the human body.
Materials and methods: 47 people were examined and treated using the P-DTR method: 17 athletes and 30 patients with physical inactivity and not involved in sports. The group of athletes had sports injuries; in the group of patients with physical inactivity, there was chronic pain in the spine and joints associated with a sedentary lifestyle. In all subjects, symptoms were studied, graded on a VAS scale from 0 to 10 in the area of the patient’s complaints, muscle strength using dynamometry, joint mobility using goniometry, innervation, emotional state using the HADS questionnaire.
Discussion: After treatment with the P-DTR method, both groups showed significant improvement in all parameters without exception. Pain syndrome decreased most significantly in both groups and muscle strength increased. The index of joint mobility after treatment also increased in both groups.
Conclusion: treatment with the P-DTR method is safe, effective, painless, does not require drugs, injections or surgeries, or complex equipment, takes 15-30 minutes and has no contraindications.
