Rpg Souchard Global Postural Reeducation Effectiveness

One of the most important, probably THE most important and selective scientific  magazine in rehabilitation of the world, “Physical Therapy” just published a breakthrough study that  is meant to change the future of Evidence Based Physiotherapy. We announced that a while ago and it’s now out for everybody in the scientific community to read! The study is structured as an “RCT” ( Randomized Controlled Trial”, one of the HIGHEST level of scientific evidence today. The conclusions are that  GPR (Global Postural Reeducation) or RPG (Rieducazione Posturale Globale) Souchard method was more effective than Manual Therapy for improving pain at post-treatment and disability at six month follow-up in patient with chronic nonspecific Neck Pain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT:

Global Postural Reeducation (GPR) has shown positive results for patients with musculoskeletal disorders, but no previous randomized controlled trial (RCT) has investigated its effectiveness as the sole procedure for adult patients with chronic nonspecific NeckPain (NP).

PURPOSE:

We evaluated the effectiveness of applying GPR compared to a manual therapy (MT) intervention to patients with chronic nonspecific NP.

STUDY DESIGN:

RCT.

PATIENT SAMPLE:

94 patients, 72 women and 22 men, average age 47.5 ± 11.3 years, with chronic nonspecific NP were randomly assigned to receive a GPR or a MT treatment.

OUTCOME MEASURES:

Pain intensity [Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)], disability [Neck Disability Index (NDI)], cervical Range of Motion (ROM), and kinesiophobia [Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK)] were assessed.

METHODS:

The experimental group received GPR, whereas the reference group received MT. Both groups received nine 60-minutes long sessions with one-to-one supervision from physical therapists as the care providers. All subjects were asked to follow ergonomic advice and to perform home exercises. Measures were assessed at pre-treatment, at post-treatment and at a 6-months follow-up.

RESULTS:

No important baseline differences between groups. Subjects in the experimental GPR group exhibited a statistically significant reduction inpain at post-treatment (P=0.0043), and disability at six months after the intervention (P=0.0113), compared to the reference group.

CONCLUSIONS:

Our results suggest that GPR was more effective than MT for improving pain at post-treatment and disability at six month follow-up in patients with chronic nonspecific NP.
