FITS METHOD
WHAT IS FITS METHOD?
COMPREHENSIVE DIAGNOSTICS AND TREATMENT OF SCOLIOSIS, POSTURAL DEFECTS AND SCHEUERMANN’S DISEASE. THREE MAIN STAGES:
- Examination of patient in terms of using FITS approach. Education of patient to help him become aware of his/her deformity;
- Preparation for correction: sensory motor balance training, detection and elimination of myofascial tension, which restricts three-plane corrective movements;
- Three-dimensional correction: building and stabilization of corrective patterns in open, clipsed biokinematic chains and functional positions.
- More information on official web www.fits.pl/en/fits-method/
Skills you will gain from FITS Method course:
- you will know when to refer patient to doctor
- how assess scoliosis bracer
- how to conduct professional therapy of patients with scoliosis
KEY, INNOVATIVE ASPECTS OF THE FITS METHOD:
FITS Method was created in 2004 by Marianna Białek PT, PhD and Andrzej M’hango PT, MSc, D.O
- awareness of spine deformation
- psychological aspect
- sensory motor balance training to improve nervous system control over the muscles function
- examination of the ability of active and passive corrective movement
- releasing myofascial structures which limit three-plane corrective movement
- primary curve correction by creating functional compensation
- building and stabilization of corrective movement patterns in open, closed biokinematic chains and functional positions

FITS METHOD
FUNCTIONAL INDIVIDUAL THERAPY OF SCOLIOSIS
FITS Method (Functional Individual Therapy of Scoliosis) is an authors’ method. It is recommended by the SOSORT (Society on Scoliosis Orthopedic and Rehabilitation Treatment).
Method is established in 2004 with a view to treating children, adolescents and adults with posture defect, scoliosis and Scheuermann’s disease.
It was presented at conferences and workshops in Poland and abroad (Boston, Athens, Lyon, Barcelona, Milan, Wiesbaden, Dubrovnik, Istanbul).
Scoliosis treatment results have been published in the Scoliosis Journal and Medicine.
FITS has developed a training program for physiotherapists who want to work with patients with scoliosis and a separate diagnostics program for doctors, osteopaths and physiotherapists covering full clinical and radiological examinations as well as indications for braces or surgery.
