Cyriax Approach to Diagnosis and Treatment

The Cyriax Approach is a method used by healthcare professionals to identify and treat soft tissue injuries, such as muscles, tendons, and ligaments. It involves specific physical examination techniques, like palpation (feeling tissue), assessment of movement, and applying precise tests to pinpoint the source of pain. Once the diagnosis is clear, treatment focuses on targeted manual therapy, including gentle techniques to improve mobility, reduce pain, and promote healing. The goal is an accurate diagnosis followed by effective, individualized treatment to restore function and alleviate discomfort.
