The Review or Mobilization of the Nervous System

신경계 가동기법에 관한 고찰

Adaptive lengthening or shortening of the nervous system is essential in order for a part of the body to move without restriction or resistance. Up until now, most treatment concepts have focused on normalizing muscle tone and preventing contractures in muscles and joint, but, as Butler and Gifford have brought to the attention of therapists, when a part of the body moves, nerves are required to move as well, so that the integration of nervous system mobilization in treatment is equally important. As the main function of the nervous system is impulse conduction, it is obvious therefore that adaptive lengthening, both centrally and peripherally, is essential in order to accommodate the enormous variety and extent of body movements and postures used in everyday life impeding news conduction. In present day manual therapy, most physical therapist mobilize the nervous system inadvertently. Probably what may make it more difficult is that, for most physical therapist it is a relatively new tissue to contemplate, at least in biomechanical terms, and basic knowledge of structure is generally less than if joints and muscles. The purpose of this study was to introduce the nervous system mobilization to a physical therapist who is primary a clinician and who has concerned in the areas of biomechanics and pathology looking far answers to the clinical Problems.
