Diagnostic and therapeutic method for identification and treatment of postural disturbances

A combination of a method for etiologic diagnosis of ascending postural disturbances and of a therapeutic method for correction of such ascending postural disturbances, comprising the steps of:

• identifying the type of a patient's postural disturbance to ascertain whether it is of an ascending, descending or multiple type, by means of mechanical maneuvers each apt to inhibit a respective foot or cranial nervous input to the Central Nervous System;
• in case an ascending postural disturbance is identified, identifying the specific intrinsic muscle(s) of the foot sole responsible for such disturbance;
• and
• performing an exteroceptive, pressoceptive, proprioceptive and/or reflexogen stimulation of an insertion point of the intrinsic muscle(s) identified as responsible for the ascending postural disturbance,
• wherein said step of identifying the type of postural disturbance in its turn comprises, in a patient having a hypertonic hip rotator muscle, the steps of:
• positioning the patient's had contralateral to the rotator hypertone onto the shoulder homolateral to the hypertone, so as to interrupt inputs coming from the cranial receptors;
• and
• positioning the patient's hand homolateral to the hypertone under the patient's nape, so as to interrupt inputs coming from the foot receptors.
