Brief Summary

The goal of this study is to evaluate a top-rated Prague rehabilitation school´s method. Part of Prague rehabilitation school is called Mojžíšová Method, which is mainly used for the treatment of back pain and woman´s non-structural sterility. This method offers an original, innovative way, how to mobilize 1.- 7. costo-sternal joints. This type of mobilization is very effective, fast and safe and probably widely used only in the Czech Republic. Mojžíšová method uses the excentric force of patients pectoral muscle, passive stretch and shoulder joint internal rotation. According to Mojžíšová, If one of the ribs joints has dysfunction (limited range of motion), there can be found higher sensitivity of this joint, certain muscle reflex spasm, hypersensitive zones and joint dysfunction. Probably the last study evaluating this method was made in the 1990s.
