About
Pinotherapy is a collection of diagnostic and therapeutic methods and techniques for selected musculoskeletal disorders. The course forms a closed and coherent whole. It gives useful and safe tools to work with a wide range of patients. Pinotherapy can be both a separate therapeutic method and be used as a supplement to functional diagnostics or manual therapy in other concepts used or previously learned by the student.
The course is dedicated to people with medical education. The course is aimed at presenting the student with therapeutic thought according to the concept of the Five Regulatory Systems (FRSc) by Składowski, with particular emphasis on clinical reasoning, so that the course graduate uses the presented techniques safely and prudently.
Pinotherapy is used in the treatment of a number of orthopedic and neurological diseases, in acute and chronic pain syndromes, e.g. injuries and overload syndromes. It can also be used as part of a comprehensive therapy of functional disorders. As a method that uses various stimuli, it is adapted to work with patients of all ages.
Tools
In Pinotherapy we use two types of tools: PINS and CATS. Both types of tools are primarily used to increase the ergonomics of the therapist’s work. With their help, we perform specific tissue compression techniques or, with sharp parts, stimulation techniques for specific areas of the patient’s skin.
None of the manual or instrumental techniques included in Pinotherapy training are intended to interrupt the continuity of the patient’s tissues.
Both Pins and Cats are made of two available materials: stainless steel or brass. The choice of material depends solely on the therapist’s preferences. From the point of view of performing pinotherapy techniques – both steel and brass tools are worked the same.
During the training, we provide tools for our students to work with. During the training, trainees receive a discount code from us for purchasing tools.
