This is a modern physical therapy that uses acoustic impulses to affect affected tissues. It helps support natural regeneration processes, improve blood circulation and contribute to pain relief.

At SPINEZIO, we use shockwave therapy as part of a comprehensive musculoskeletal care program. We achieve the best results in conjunction with individually guided physiotherapy.

What difficulties can shockwave therapy help with?

Shockwave therapy is most often used for long-term and overloaded musculoskeletal structures, for example:

• tennis and golfer's elbow
• heel spurs and plantar fasciitis
• achilles tendon pain
• shoulder pain
• muscle spasms and trigger points
• chronic back pain
• certain post-traumatic conditions

However, the suitability of the therapy is always individual and depends on the specific cause of the problem.

How does shockwave work?

Acoustic impulses act directly in the treated area, where they support metabolic processes and tissue regeneration.

The therapy can contribute in particular to:

• promote healing and regeneration
• improve blood circulation in the tissues
• relieve pain
• relieving muscle and fascia overload
• support the absorption of some calcification

The treatment itself is short and most clients manage it without major difficulties.

Is shockwave therapy a self-help solution?

Like other physiotherapy methods, shockwave therapy is not a magic solution for all problems. The best results are achieved when it is part of a broader therapeutic plan, which may include individual physiotherapy, targeted exercises and other recommendations based on the client's specific condition.

It is the combination of these approaches that helps to address not only the pain itself, but also its cause.

Is shockwave therapy right for you?

Every person and every diagnosis is different.

If you are not sure whether shockwave therapy could help you, we will be happy to discuss your problems with you and recommend the most appropriate procedure.

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects the lower jaw to the skull and is involved in everyday activities such as speaking, biting, or chewing. It is also closely connected to the muscles of the face, the cervical spine, and the area around the ears. This is why its disorders often do not only manifest as jaw pain.

Problems with the TMJ can be associated with headaches, earaches, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), facial tension, or neck pain. Some people experience limited mouth opening, while others notice popping, clicking, or uncomfortable pressure in the joint area.

Why do problems arise?

One of the most common causes is long-term overuse of the chewing muscles. This can occur, for example, when clenching the jaw during the day, grinding teeth in sleep (bruxism), frequent chewing or after more demanding dental procedures. Changes in the cervical spine, which affect muscle tension and the position of the jaw joint, can also play a role.

Problems often do not arise suddenly. They usually develop gradually and can spread to other areas of the head and neck over time.

When is it appropriate to see a physiotherapist?

Physiotherapy may be appropriate if you are experiencing:

• jaw or cheek pain
• jaw clicking or popping
• limited mouth opening
• headache or neck pain
• ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
• tense and soreness of the chewing muscles

How is temporomandibular joint physiotherapy performed?

At SPINEZIU, we look at the problems comprehensively. We do not only address the temporomandibular joint itself, but also the connections that may contribute to the problem.

The examination includes an assessment of the jaw movement, the extent of mouth opening, and any popping or skipping in the joint. The physiotherapist will also examine the chewing muscles, cervical spine, and other structures that may be related to the problems.

Depending on the findings, therapy may include relaxing the overworked muscles, mobilizing the temporomandibular joint, treating the cervical spine, practicing appropriate exercises, and providing recommendations for daily functioning. In some cases, the dry needling technique may also be used.

The goal of therapy is not only to relieve pain, but above all to find and influence the causes that lead to its occurrence.

Do you have problems with your tempromandibular joint?

If you suffer from jaw pain, clicking in the joint, limited mouth opening, headaches or ringing in the ears, physiotherapy may be one of the ways to improve.

Physiotherapy of the temporomandibular joint at SPINEZIO is provided by Mgr. Michaela Horká, who specializes in this issue in her practice.

You can easily make an appointment through our reservation system, the contact form on the website or at the reception.

The cause of headaches often does not start directly in the head, but in the neck, trapezius muscles, shoulders and head. Long-term tension in these areas can gradually affect the entire musculoskeletal system and contribute to headaches, migraines or a feeling of general fatigue.

Massage helps to work with this tension in targeted and effective way. It relaxes overworked muscles in the neck, trapezius, shoulders, jaws and head, while also supporting the calming of the nervous system. This gives the body spate to slow down, regenerate and relax. 

The treatment works not only with the head and neck area, but also with the scalp, temples, jaws, ears and surrounding structures. Trapezius, chest and shoulders are also important parts. In other words, areas that are often closely linked to headaches.

After massage, people often describe a feeling of lightness, relaxation, and overall calmness. It may also include simple recommendations and techniques that can be used at home for prevention and faster relief from discomfort.

For people who suffer from frequent headaches or migraines, regular care can help reduce the frequency and intensity of problems and support overall quality of life. Ant the best way is to combine massage with targeted physiotherapy.

The short answer is:

Not quite.

There is no single "correct" position in which we should sit all day. What is important is a well-adjusted workplace and enough movement during the day, which helps prevent back pain and other problems associated with sitting.

Why the body doesn't like sitting for long periods of time

The human body is not designed to stay in one position for long, even when we sit “pretty straight.” The problem is not just how we sit, but mainly how long we stay in the same position.

Muscles are happiest when they are regularly engaged and change length. However, when sitting for long periods of time, they remain in one position, which leads to overload, especially in the spine and intervertebral discs. This can be one of the causes of musculoskeletal pain.

That's why physical therapists often say, "The best position is the next one."

How to set up your workplace ergonomically

It's not a perfect position, but a setting that:

• supports the natural curvature of the spine
• minimizes unnecessary muscle tension
• allows frequent changes of position

Chair

• feet resting on the ground
• knees roughly at hip level (slightly lower)
• hip support – backrest or small cushion
• possibility to lean back slightly (an angle of approx. 100-110° is gentler on the spine than a strict right angle)

Monitor

• top of screen at eye level or slightly below
• approximately arm's length
• monitor directly in front of you – without turning your head

Keyboard and mouse

• as close to body as possible
• elbows at the body at a right or slightly open angle
• wrist in a neutral position (an ergonomic mouse or gel pad can help)
• shoulders remain relaxed, not pulled towards the ears

How to help yourself at home

• Don't have a lumbar support? A rolled-up towel or overball can easily replace it
• Can't reach the floor with your feet? A box, book, or small step will help
• Does your laptop sit low? Just put a few books under it

The most important thing: MOVEMENT

Even perfect ergonomics do not change the fact that sitting is a passive position.

That's why it's key to:

• change your position every 30-40 minutes
• take a short walk, stretch or stand
• alternate between sitting, standing, leaning and leaning forward slightly

Summary

There is no single correct sitting position. There is a well-adjusted workplace and enough movement during the day. And this is much more important for our body than trying to sit "perfectly".

Do you suffer from back pain when working at a computer? At SPINEZIO physiotherapy we will help you find the cause of the problem and set up a tailor-made solution.

For most of us, it is important to feel comfortable and welcome. Especially if we are in a healthcare facility. Friendly receptionists help people feel good and relaxed. They explain everything that is needed so that our clients can calmly find their way, sit down, have a delicious coffee or tea and possibly get answers to their questions.

During the physiotherapy consultation itself, it is first essential to understand not only the pain, but also how the human body works. That is why we first focus on your health and exercise history in order to be able to better set up a treatment plan. We are interested in when the difficulties arose, what aggravates or relieves them, what your exercise regimen, workload or sports activities are. Sleep, stress and overall lifestyle also play an important role. The goal is not to “find a diagnosis at all costs”, but to understand the context in which the difficulties arise.

This is followed by an examination of the musculoskeletal system. In this case, it is ideal if we can examine you in your underwear, but there is no problem performing the examination, for example, in sportswear (shorts, leggings, sports underwear). We monitor basic movement patterns, posture, stability, coordination and quality of movement. As part of the examination, we use, for example, diagnostic ultrasound or podoscope as needed. It often turns out that the area that hurts is not the real source of the problem, but rather its consequence. That is why we look at the body as a whole and look for connections between individual segments.

The first visit usually includes the treatment itself, which includes soft tissue techniques or mobilization and a selection of targeted exercises. We choose procedures that match the client's current capabilities and respect pain and any limitations. 

At the end of the first visit, the client leaves with a clear idea of:

• where the difficulties probably come from
  
• what the proposed therapeutic procedure is
  
• what he can actively influence himself
  

The first visit is not a one-time solution, but a starting point. It serves to set the direction, safe workload and realistic expectations. The pace and distribution of therapy is always adapted to the specific person - their goals, possibilities and current condition.

You can bring with you the results of previous examinations or medical reports and comfortable underwear or sportswear that you feel good in. Towels, sheets and equipment are provided for you and there is no need to bring anything else.

In this article, we clearly explain how it works and what to focus on.

Does SPINEZIO physiotherapy  cooperate with health insurance companies? 

SPINEZIO physiotherapy is not a contracted workplace of health insurance companies. Our services are paid for by clients themselves and a doctor's recommendation is not necessary for the provision of care with us.

However, this does not mean that clients cannot use any form of support from their health insurance company.

What can insurance companies contribute to as part of prevention?

As part of preventive programs, health insurance companies can contribute to, for example:

•  physical and sports activities
•  health or rehabilitation exercises
•  prevention of musculoskeletal disorders
•  promotion of a healthy lifestyle

Specific options, contribution amounts, and application methods vary depending on the insurance company and the programs currently offered.

How can clients proceed? 

If a client receives services at SPINEZIO physiotherapy, it is possible to:

• have an invoice issued for the services provided
• check with your health insurance company whether the invoice can be used as part of preventive contributions
• submit an application via your insurance company's website or application

Approval of the contribution is always the responsibility of the specific health insurance company.

What is good to think about?

•  each insurance company has different conditions
•  preventive programs may change over time
•  the contribution is not an automatic entitlement
•  it is always advisable to check the current information directly with your insurance company

Summary

•  SPINEZIO physiotherapy is not a contracted workplace of health insurance companies
•  but some insurance companies offer contributions for prevention, exercise and a healthy lifestyle
•  based on the invoice issued, clients can apply for a contribution from their insurance company
•  conditions vary and need to be verified individually

Many people today are trying to solve their sedentary jobs with a standing desk. And that's great. But standing all day instead of sitting doesn't solve the problem. There is no ideal position in which we should stay for a long time. The body mainly needs to change positions and receive small impulses to move throughout the day.

The body is very adaptive. It adapts to what we do most often.
And if we sit most of the day, the body adjusts accordingly: it stiffens, limits range, overuses certain muscles, and “turns off” others. This then leads to back pain, neck pain, or a feeling of fatigue, even when we’ve actually just been sitting.

And maybe you're thinking: "I'll catch up with sports."
But a one-time hour at the gym or a jog after work won't replace eight hours of inactivity. Compensation doesn't work on the principle of "what was missing, I'll make up for it." It works on the principle of regularity throughout the day.

What helps in a normal working day

• Alternate sitting and standing every 20-40 minutes (briefly, not all at once).
• Consciously breathe into your ribs – your chest should be mobile.
• Get up and walk around when making phone calls.
• Pay attention to your hips and chest – that’s where we “close up” most often.

It’s not about performance. It’s not about perfect posture.
It's about small, regular impulses, that keep your body functional.

What to take from this

The body remembers everything we repeat every day.
And the good news is that you only need to start small.

Do you sit all day? Your body remembers. But you can change it.
And we at SPINEZIO are happy to guide you through it.

Physiotherapy in the office is a great first step, where we can relax the body on a couch, mobilize it, and start the correct functional movement patterns. This is the foundation we cannot do without.

But if we want the results to last long-term, pain relief after therapy is not enough. Physiotherapy can be the beginning of the journey to greater resilience and better fitness, which is why FyzioFit.

FyzioFit is a bridge between therapy in the office and movement in real life.

• for clients who want the results of therapy to last,
• for people who have recurring back, joint or muscle pain,
• for those who want to feel confident during normal activities – at the computer, during sports, taking care of a child,
• for anyone looking for a path from relief to resilience.

How the lesson goes (50 minutes)

• Warm-up and activation – breathing, body alignment, warm-up.
• The main part – first basic exercises and modifications according to the client’s needs. We will explain to you why we do them differently than in a regular gym – so that they help.
• Cool-down – calming down and stretching.

We train in cooperation with MaxFitness Bílá labuť – in a modern environment that resembles the real stress of everyday life.
