WHAT IS SOUCHARD POSTULAR GYMNASTICS?

There Souchard postural gymnastics, like the Mézières one, is a postural approach rehabilitation technique that takes its name from the approach and method performed during the physiotherapy session: the Souchard method or Global Postural Re-education, developed by Philippe E. Souchard, one of the collaborators of the physiotherapist Mézières

WHAT IS IT FOR?

It is generally used in rehabilitation and physiotherapy for the treatment of: Scoliosis; Low Back Pain; Neck Pain; Length Differences; Joint Dysfunctions; Postural Problems.

HOW IT WORKS

The Souchard method is a physiotherapy approach based on individual and comprehensive manual treatment. It works primarily on the body's muscle groups and begins with a distinction between the behavior and roles of muscles in static muscles And muscles of dynamicsThe longer the first (static) muscles remain contracted, the more they become retracted and resistant to stretching, while the second (dynamic) muscles can be contracted freely thanks also to a pre-stretching phase.

The goal is to globally restore the body's balance, starting with the restoration – in a balanced situation – of neuromuscular coordination.

THE EFFECTS

As with the Mézières method, the aim of the Souchard method is to restore normal symmetry to body parts through postural re-education and exercises that promote the stretching of inelastic muscles.

Specifically, there are several effects generated by the use of this method, namely:
• Fight against a sedentary lifestyle;
• Counteract bad postural and motor habits;
• Restore the body's health following prolonged exertion and/or incorrect posture;
• Allows post-traumatic recovery

WHEN IS IT CONTRAINDICATED?

It is the specialist who evaluates, after the patient's medical history and a general overview of the body's health, whether or not to perform this approach.

Andrea Sgambati

CEO of FisioFlaminio, manual therapist specializing in osteopathic techniques.

Since my early years at university, the cornerstone of my career has been to develop a comprehensive assessment of the patient, essential for optimal physiotherapy treatment.

Through in-depth study of manual therapy, it was possible to optimize and apply the principles of rehabilitation medicine, which extends beyond the basic mechanisms of "traditional" rehabilitation. My training began at a Swiss university (Lugano, 2010-2014) with a four-year academic program, all focused on orthopedic science, which is essential for understanding musculoskeletal pathologies.

Subsequently, in 2015, I obtained a master's degree in Australia (Perth, Curtin University) in Orthopaedic Manual Therapy, which allowed me to learn osteopathic techniques and spinal manipulations according to the concepts of Maitland, Kaltenborn, Mulligan and Mackenzie.

After my experience abroad, I returned to Italy as manager of the rehabilitation center at Via Donatello 75, becoming a partner in 2019. My work at this rehabilitation center allowed me to work with athletes from the National Fencing Team, as well as with Serie A volleyball and basketball professionals.

From 2020 to 2023, I completed my second Master's degree in Milan (GSTM), where I further developed osteopathic and manual techniques, essential for the rapid and effective treatment of musculoskeletal disorders, including the peripheral and central nervous systems. This program has qualified me for the internationally recognized title of Orthokinetic Rehabilitator, a new professional profile in the treatment and rehabilitation of patients with musculoskeletal disorders.

Giulia De Pilla - FisioFlaminio

Giulia De Pilla

Trainer specialized in postural gymnastics and Pilates.

I am a Pilates and Postural Training teacher as well as a qualified Personal Trainer.
Over the past 10 years, when I began my work experience with Pilates matwork, I have added training in personal training with a focus on postural fitness.

My work is based on a 360-degree client approach to solve functional problems by reshaping one's physical form.

I have a diploma and specialization in:

Pilates matwork
A Pilates method that involves only free-body exercises performed, as the title suggests, on a mat and without the aid of machines. Pilates MatWork, like the entire Pilates method, was invented by Joseph Hubertus Pilates, who assigned additional exercises to be performed without the aid of the machines he invented.
Pilates MatWork works on postural muscles, with the aim of promoting greater body balance and increasing muscle support for the spine.

Pilates Reformer
Based on the use of machinery, which includes a repertoire of exercises for the whole body, using a tool specifically designed to strengthen, tone, lengthen and shape through a series of very specific exercises.

The machine, thanks to its structure and spring system, allows for a complete workout by strengthening the muscles of the entire body and improving flexibility, joint flexibility, and posture.
The Pilates Reformer, although it greatly stimulates endurance, can also be suitable for low-impact workouts (especially at the beginning or during rehabilitation phases) and can be used several times a week.

Postural training
It is a postural gymnastics course that aims to correct and achieve correct body posture through a series of balanced, harmonious and interrelated movements.

Personal training
A personal trainer (also known as a personal coach and commonly referred to by the acronym PT) is a professional figure responsible for individually managing the physical exercise of those who are new to or practicing physical activity to improve their health or fitness.

Pathologies treated
Back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, hip pain, postural imbalances, muscle hypotonia.

Therapies / Treatment
I work on: flexibility, mobility, muscle strengthening.
