Summary

Decompression therapy is a result-oriented approach but it expensive and minimum availability in Pakistan. In physical therapy, we use different exercises to solve multiple spine problems. Some exercises used to treat orthogenic components such as mobilization, manipulation, SNAGS, and traction. Some exercises used to treat myogenic components such as muscle energy technique, neuromuscular reeducation, active isolated stretch, etc. Some exercises used to treat neurogenic components such as Neurodynamics, Active release technique, etc. As we know the fascia is an important component in our body most of the time the fascia restriction makes the patient condition verse. A researcher introduced the systems of exercise more the 35 years ago which works especially on the spine at every intervertebral level including costal and pelvic articulation. These exercises are called Elongation Longitudinaux Avec Decoaption Osteo-Articulaire (ELDOA) or simply Longitudinal Osteo-Articular De-coaptation Stretching (LOADS). It can be described as a fascial stretch that's localized tension at the level of a specific spinal segment and create decompression. In which he combined improving the tone of the intrinsic muscles of the spine along with reinforcing the extrinsic muscles related to the spine aim the back and stretching the interlinking paraspinal muscles. ELDOA exercise is designed for every level of the spine from the base of the skull to the sacroiliac joint. In each ELDOA exercise, we create fascial tension above and below the joint or disc that one is trying to "open up" or decompress. The outcomes include; Release vertebral compression, improved blood circulation, Disc re-hydration, improve muscle tone, and awareness. One of my studies also proved that ELDOA Exercises improve the pain and functional level in spinal disc protrusion patients.
