Brief Summary

Objectives: The aim of this study is to assess the effect of Informational Manual Therapy (IMT) on quiet standing and quality of life in healthy individuals. The IMT also is known as the Poyet-Pialoux method, is a holistic, no orthopedic, and soft manual therapy. Design: This is a one-group pretest-posttest design. It is a within-subjects experiment in which each participant is tested first under the control condition and then under the treatment condition. Setting: University laboratory. Intervention: One IMT session was performed on 57 healthy individuals aged from 18 to 65 years. They were grouped into three age groups. The treatment session was performed by 5 therapists on two days. The primary outcome was quite standing assessed by the SATEL force platform. Secondary outcomes were bodily pain assessed by the pain sections of the 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36) and quality of life by EQ-5D-3L (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression). The primary outcome was evaluated before and immediately after treatment and after 7-10 days. The secondary outcomes were assessed after treatment and 3 weeks later.

Interventions

Manual Therapy OTHER

The first level of IMT was treated in this study: the objective is to harmonize the cranio-sacral and sacro-pelvic systems, as this is fundamental for maintaining good posture. The first therapeutic maneuvers should be focused on releasing of the sacrum and the pelvis. The first is considered a key area for the correct transmission of forces and loads from the lower limbs to the upper limbs and vice versa and shares the role of rigid elements for this purpose (bones) and tensile elements (muscles, ligaments, fascia) in the whole body. In this level. Compensatory injuries that the body has started after a primary injury are treated on this level, through the Fluidic Chains. The diagnosis of this level is performed by cranial somotopias. Practically all the treatment is carried out on the sacrum. The first step are the "fuses," which are vibration zones which act as a protection system for the body. These points sometimes stop working, which interrupts the correct movement of the PRM.
