Janda approach

Janda's approach emphasizes the importance of the body's deep muscles, especially around the spine and core, in maintaining proper posture and movement. He believes that many issues stem from imbalances or weaknesses in these muscles, leading to poor movement patterns and pain. Through assessment, Janda identified specific muscle imbalances, such as tight or overactive muscles paired with weak or underactive ones. Treatment focuses on correcting these imbalances via targeted exercises, aiming to restore optimal function, reduce pain, and improve overall movement efficiency. This approach is used by therapists to address various musculoskeletal problems effectively.
