FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to physiotherapy, manual therapy. Method includes performing manual therapy with application "soft techniques" methods. Ischemic compression, postisometric relaxation of lumbar quadrate muscle, back erector, multifidus, iliolumbar, trapezoid muscles and mobilisation of blocked spine and peripheral joints. Session of manual therapy is carried out immediately after mud treatment. Mud treatment is carried out by application of mud on the area of back, at temperature 40° C, for 20 minutes. After 30 minutes after manual therapy session vibration massage is carried out. Impact is performed on the area of motor points of trapeziform, subspinous muscles, back erector at the level of breast and lumbar spine from both sides. Area of hypotrophic muscles is influenced with vibration with frequency 60 Hz, with application of notched applicator, for 2 minutes on each field, in accordance with labile method. Area of muscles in hypertonus is influenced with frequency 20 Hz, with application of multi-functional applicator, for 4 minutes on each field, by stable method. During one procedure 4 fields are influenced, each of which includes area of affected muscles from one side. Duration of procedure is 12 minutes. Course of treatment includes 10 procedures.

EFFECT: method increases efficiency of treatment by reducing spine curvature angle and forming muscle corset, which assists in preservation of obtained results of treatment, preventing possible progress of spine deformation degree, biomechanical and neurodystrophic abnormalities and formation of neurological complications.
