RPG | Fisiovida

Global Postural Re-education, or RPG, is a revolutionary method of physical therapy that treats body imbalances with surprising results. It is recommended not only for those who are in pain, but also those who want to correct their posture.

RPG can help with various issues, such as:

Stiff neck;

Scoliosis;

Lumbago;

Sciatica;

Disc herniation;

Dorsal hyperkyphosis (“hunchback”);

Knee valgus (caving inwards) and varus (“bowleg”)

Flat foot and claw foot (high arches);

Tendinitis;

Cervical pain;

Among others.

Why is FISIOVIDA considered a clinic of reference and most specialized in RPG in Portugal?

We are the only clinic in Portugal with a team of 8 physical therapists who are all specialized in the RPG method.

Those 6 physical therapists had the privilege of being trained by the creator of the original R.P.G. method, Prof. Philippe Souchard;

Why do RPG?

The large majority of neuro-musculo-skeletal injuries are due to changes in posture. The rush and stress of daily life leave us prone to pain. The body defends itself by adopting poor positions in an attempt to alleviate those pains. However, since these postures are incorrect, the muscles, joints, fascia and ligaments begin to suffer and bring about even more complications.

What are the benefits of RPG?

Eliminates pain;

Corrects the bad habits and aesthetic appearance resulting from poor posture;

Improves body awareness;

Strengthens and stretches muscles, thus improving posture;

Restores correct mobility and flexibility to the body.

A posture that deviates from the normal standard can have very serious health consequences and must be corrected!
