Cyriax Orthopaedic Medicine

Cyriax Orthopaedic Medicine is an approach to diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal conditions, focusing on the assessment of soft tissue and joint problems. Developed by Dr. James Cyriax, it emphasizes a detailed physical examination to identify the specific source of pain, such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. Treatment often includes targeted manual therapy, exercises, and patient education to promote healing and restore function. This method aims to address not just symptoms but the underlying issues, enabling more effective and lasting recovery.
