Cyriax Approach

The Cyriax Approach is a method used by healthcare professionals for assessing and treating musculoskeletal disorders. Developed by Dr. James Cyriax, it emphasizes a thorough examination to identify specific injuries, often distinguishing between conditions affecting muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints. This approach uses various physical tests to determine the source of pain and dysfunction. Once identified, targeted treatment strategies, including manual therapy and exercise, can be applied to relieve pain and restore function. The goal is to provide a clear diagnosis and tailored treatment plan to enhance recovery and improve overall movement.
